25 years ago Paula Poundstone climbed on a Greyhound bus and traveled across the country –stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went.  A high school dropout, she went on to become one of the great humorists of our time. You can hear her through your laughter as a regular panelist on NPR’s popular rascal of a weekly news quiz show, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me.

She tours regularly, performing standup comedy across the country, causing Bob Zany with the Boston Globe to write: “Poundstone can regale an audience for several hours with her distinctive brand of wry, intelligent and witty comedy.”

Audience members may put it a little less elegantly:  “I peed my pants.”
