Paula Poundstone
-
On Saturday, October 1st, the Ikeda Theater at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, AZ welcomes comedian Paula Poundstone. “I'll be at the Mesa Arts Center – Ikeda Theatre. Without the letter "d" you'd have to assemble it” says Poundstone. Heralded as one of the country’s foremost comics, Paula Poundstone's quick-thinking, unscripted approach to comedy makes for a perfect fit as a regular panelist on NPR’s #1 show, the screwball weekly news quiz show WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME! where she holds the record for game losses. The talents of this brilliant humorist extend beyond standup comedy, but stop short of yodeling. In 2016 Paula voiced the character "Forgetter Paula" in Disney/Pixar’s Academy Award winning animated feature film, “Inside Out.” In June 2016, her first double-live CD, "North by Northwest: Paula Poundstone Live!" (HighBridge) debuted at #1 on both Amazon’s “Hot New Releases – Non Fiction” and “Comedy CD” lists, and charted on Billboard’s Comedy Albums. Paula is also an author, avid reader and staunch public library supporter who became the national spokesperson for United for Libraries in 2006 at the behest of the American Library Association.
