Paula Poundstone
Paula Poundstone, whose many honors include a place on Comedy Central’s list of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time (“They ran out of people to give it to,” she explained), will bring her act to Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor next Thursday at 8 p.m.
Ms. Poundstone is a regular panelist on “Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me,” National Public Radio’s popular weekly news quiz show. In addition to performing stand-up across the country, earlier this year she voiced the character “Forgetter Paula” in Disney/Pixar’s Oscar-winning animated feature “Inside Out,” and released her first double live CD, “North By Northwest: Paula Poundstone Live.”
Her more than three decades of performance include several HBO specials and a 1992 appearance as the first woman to share the stage with the president as host of the White House Correspondents dinner.
Tickets range in price from $69.25 to $125. Only a handful of premium seats remain available.
