Paula Poundstone

Whether on stage, in an HBO special or as a panelist on the NPR news quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me, Paul Poundstone delivers her razor-sharp wit and off-kilter view of the world, eschewing the anger or gender-based topics of many of her comic peers. Her honest take on everyday life leads her to such comic observations as: “Why do we have watch dogs instead of watch cats? Because cats have the same expression on their faces… whether they see a moth or an ax murderer!”
