Paula Poundstone Tickets

Paule was amazing. Took common mundane experiences, that we all have, and turned them into gut wrenching humor. Best evening of comedy I've had in years.

awesome show as always. we see when she in the area and will continue to. love you Paula, really enjoying the cd, thanks for years of laughter. Sabra

Paula was hiliarious and went on for a long time which was well worth the money. AFter she did a book signing and took pictures with me. I was very happy and thought she was an awesome entertainer. I would recommend her stand up to anyone.

Great show, per usual for Paula. Was a bit embarrassed by the audience who didn't seem to understand the concept of self edit! Paula handled these dolts expertly.

Paula is hilarious!

Full disclosure: I love Paula Poundstone's brand of self-deprecating, observant, thoughtful humor. I have seen her several times and hope to see her more in the future. I was a fan (and here I'm dating myself) of her short-lived TV show for which I still have tickets which I hold onto in the vain hope that the show will picked up again. I love her stand up routine in which she often mines her own experiences and family and, even more, her political observations - even when she expresses sympathy for Sarah Palin, a sympathy she noted was not shared by the audience. I would go see her just for that. But she is most exciting when she interacts with the audience - improvising chats that are wonderful. She has the ability to chide an audience member ("You do know, Ma'am....) that has the person laughing with the audience. She is astonishingly quick and picks up things like one patron shushing another. Amazingly, she frequently finds coincidences and parallels between patrons. She seemed to be fighting a cold - she claimed allergies (if that's the case maybe she should consider her 13 cats as a source) but it did not get in the way of her connection with the audience who almost literally begged her to stay. She finally noted that soon people would be sneaking out and, "After many years in this business I've learned it's good if I leave first." The Wilbur turned the lights on as soon as she said good night - clearly fearing we would insist on calling her back.

So funny, so witty and so relevant to my life!! I could have listened to her all night long...

First time at a stand up comedian show and really enjoyed it! Paula Poundstone had me laughing all night long and amazed me with her quickness and her wit.

Paula Poundstone has always been better. In this performance she trotted out the exact same material as she put out on a recent late night show. when she became more spontaneous, she rambled on and on, and in frequent stages, about her children. It was like listening to someone's aunt complaining over the back yard fence. Her interaction with the audience was in a couple instances brilliant but overall was filler that went nowhere. At the end, she didn't seem to have any vehicle for ending the show. Overall, the audience liked it but I'd pick a different comedian to see next time.

Paula Pounstone is my favorite performer. She is a genius and I have seen almost all of her peformances in many different venues! She is beyond funny, clever, unuique, quick witted, delightful, topical with a winning personality. she is a true genius and I usually must bring tissue with me becasue I laugh so hard that tears begin to roll down my cheeks!! I just love her and can't wait until her next performance!!!!!!

Paula was great. I wish she had stuck around a little bit longer, but her throat was a bit scratchy so hard to keep talking so long.

Paula Poundstone is amazing. As loyal and long time fans, we go every year to whenever she is perforning in Boston area. Harvard's Sanders Theater, Stoneham Theater, and even the Regent Theater in Arlington, MA were really good venues. Always enjoy when Paula incorporates audience interaction in her show..as she is so brilliant at it. More more! Can't wait to see her again...wherever she is! We ordered tickets from Ticketmaster in March, 2009 for the Oct show, and could only get last row! (really a strain to hear and see).

Paula gave us 2 hours straight of hilarious stories and improv. She relates to her audience by telling stories of real life. She has great energy and as she says "has a very hard time getting off stage!" We loved it!

Great show from Paula, we were lucky enough to get front row center tickets, but were initially blinded by some of the top light. Paula walks on stage and immediately asks the Wilbur to turn down the lights because it looked like the front audience members had been "brought in for questioning." She was funny and kept up the pace for 2 hours! I even got to interact with her---very cool! First night for a liquor license for the Wilbur. Cocktail waitresses only, no walk-up service at the bar. Only got one round of drinks: 2 mixed, a Dewar's (which didn't taste like it), and a water for $30. Waitress never came around again. Tight seating and for us ladies a long line at the bathroom, but it moved quickly.

They say 'laughter is the best medicine' and, if so, I am going to have a very healthy year. Paula Poundstone is so facile with humor that she can turn the most mundane occurrence into a laugh riot. I've always loved her humor on radio (Wait Wait Don't Tell Me) and on TV, but seeing her live was delightful. I hope she's back in the Hub soon.

Paula put on an excellent show last night. I have been to her shows before, and I look forward to her next one in Boston!

We saw Paula at the Wilbur theatre. I really enjoyed her humor and highly recommend her shows to others. She was especially great at bantering with the audience.

Paula was unbelievable in person. Even though she was not feeling well, she kept us laughing the entire time. I found it hard to believe when the event was over, it did not seem like we were sitting for 2 hours. I could have listened to her for a few more hours and never got bored. She did not loose my attention for one second. I would highly recommend seeing her in person. If you like to be the center of attention, feel free to get seats as close to her as possible. However, be careful.....she will find your weak points. Paula has the courage to make jokes on people most of us wish we had the courage to do so!!!! About the seating...it could have been better. For anyone who has never attended a show at Penns Peak, be warned, you sit on a folding chair that is jammed/cramped against more folding chairs. There was not any room to more or shift, just more chairs. Another word of advice, do not sit anywhere near the rows of chairs out-lining the floor seats. It appears that the people who occupy those seats are more interested in being able to get up and down for beer, than they were to see the show. And with each beer drank, they got louder and more abnoxious than 5 minutes before that. The rude couple we were sitting next too got louder than Paula and made it very difficult to focus on her instead of the drunks!!!!!!

Paula Poundstone delivered a very entertaining, intelligent and witty 2 hours - - especially the repartee with the audience -- which was even funnier than the crafted and rehearsed stories.

laughed a lot, funny enough, I think Paula was in a lot of discomfort/pain. A lot of coughing and back pain, but she put a good effort into entertaining. The live show was slower moving than any of the televised shows I've seen
