Paula Poundstone tickets still available to purchase

STATE COLLEGE — A few tickets are still left for “An Evening with Paula Poundstone” at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2 in The State Theatre, 130 W. College Ave.

Paula Poundstone is one of the country’s pre-eminent comedians. With smart, observational humor and a spontaneous interaction with a crowd that has become the stuff of legend, she swings on stage like a jazz musician. Without a plan. Without a net. There’s a disarming ease in her craft.

Poundstone is the star of several HBO specials. Her razor-sharp wit and impeccable timing makes for a perfect fit as a regular panelist on NPR’s #1 show, the weekly comedy news quiz “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me!”

Also an author, she has released her second book, “The Totally Unscientific Study Of The Search For Human Happiness.”

Paula is known for never doing the same show twice. “Wait, Wait” host Peter Sagal said, “Paula Poundstone is the funniest human being I have ever known. Everything she does, thinks, or says is hilarious.”

Audience members often leave her shows complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter.

Paula is the winner of an American Comedy Award for Best Female Standup Comic and is recognized on Comedy Central’s list of The 100 Best Standup Comics of All Time. She voiced the character “Forgetter Paula” in Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out, winner of the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Her commentaries appear on CBS Sunday Morning. She was the first woman, in its then 73rd year, to share the dais with the President and perform stand-up comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
