Paula's ability to create humor on the spot is legendary and with her casual air, impeccable timing and razor-sharp wit, she is enthralling. In 1992, she was the first woman to win a Cable ACE Award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special for her HBO special, "Cats, Cops, and Stuff." In 1996, she debuted her second HBO special, "Paula Poundstone goes to Harvard," the only time the elite university has allowed its name to be used in the title of a television show. Ms. Poundstone was the first woman to headline the White House Correspondents Dinner, and she provided memorable live coverage of the '92 political conventions and presidential inauguration for the Tonight Show. "My act is mainly autobiographical," claims Poundstone. "So, what I talk about has changed just by virtue of getting older." Now her jokes include musings about her 10 cats and commentary about her unique experiences as a mother of three children, but as she emphasizes, "I like working with a crowd in front of me. It really is the most fun part." For tickets ($45) or more information about The Bruce Nissan Comedy Series, call the box office at (203) 438-5795 or go online to ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Ridgefield Playhouse is located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street. © Copyright by NorwalkPlus.com.
