As one of the country’s preeminent comedians, Paula Poundstone is included in innumerable lists, documentaries and literary compendiums noting influential stand-up comedians of our time. She was the first woman, in its then 73rd year, to perform stand-up comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Poundstone is recognized on Comedy Central’s list of The 100 Best Stand-up Comics of All Time. She also won an American Comedy Award for Best Female Stand-up Comic. Her razor-sharp wit and impeccable timing make for the perfect fit as a regular panelist on the weekly NPR news quiz show, “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” Poundstone recently released her second book, “The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness,” which landed at number one on Amazon Best Sellers lists for humor in Hardcover, Audible and CD. The audiobook, read by Poundstone, is one of five finalists for Audio Book of the Year. Her weekly podcast, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone, is a comedy field guide to life. Each week Paula and her co-host, Adam Felber, bring on leading expert guests and use their unique comedic sensibility to help us navigate life in the 21st century.
