Comedienne Paula Poundstone to perform

Paula recently premiered her one-hour stand up special on BRAVO, “Paula Poundstone: Look What the Cat Dragged In,” and her new laugh-out-loud biography, ‘There’s Nothing in this Book That I Meant to Say’ (Harmony, November 2006, with foreword by Mary Tyler Moore), is also now available on bookshelves nationwide. She received an Emmy Award for her work on the PBS series “Life & Times.”

Voted the first woman to ever receive a cable ACE award for best stand-up comedy special, and an American Comedy Award for funniest comedienne, Paula can be heard regularly on NPR’s popular weekly news and information show ‘Wait, Wait’Don’t Tell Me!’

“Whether she’s telling stories about her family, sharing her hysterical views on politics and the world, or using her amazingly quick wit and improvisational skills, Paula Poundstone has the keen ability to connect with audiences from many walks of life and is great fun to watch,” said Kathleen O’Brien, TPAC’s president and CEO. “Polk Theater is an ideal space for viewing a top-notch comedienne like Paula, because it’s intimate enough to connect with her, yet provides enough seating to accommodate her many Nashville fans.”
