National Treasure: American Comic Paula Poundstone Comes to Marin April 9, 2011

"Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a Jazz musician...swinging in unexpected directions without a plan, without a net." - Boston Globe

The Kanbar Center for the Performing Arts at the Osher Marin JCC presents An Evening of Comedy with Paula Poundstone. Appearing on stage with just a stool, microphone and can of Diet Pepsi, Poundstone is famous for her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity. Poundstone, who has made frequent TV appearances on Letterman and Leno, is quick and unassuming and often people leave wondering whether the random people in the audience she talked to were "plants," which, of course, they never are. Poundstone's spontaneity and humor make her a perfect panelist for NPR's Peabody-Award-Winning Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, where she matches wits with some of our nation's leading pundits. Poundstone was the first woman to win an ACE award for Best Standup Comedy performance and the first woman to be invited to perform at the distinguished White House Correspondents dinner. She has starred in solo specials on HBO and BRAVO, has made frequent TV appearances on all the major talk shows and Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion. She is also an author, lecturer and her editorial pieces can be heard on NPR's Morning Edition.
