Lasting laughs: Funny lady of NPR’s “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!,” Paula Poundstone earned her chops in the OG comedy clubs of ’80s L.A. before landing TV appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Poundstone came into her own as a trailblazing political comic in 1993 when she was the first woman to host the White House correspondents’ dinner. With a knack for banter and an improvisational flair comparable to jazz, Poundstone will leave
you in stitches.
Sunday 9/26, $38-48.50, 7:30pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main Street, Downtown Mall, theparamount.net.
