Paula Poundstone

For giggles

Paula Poundstone tickles your funny bone with her observational humor during an evening at The Paramount Theater. When she’s not on tour, the comedian is at home with her 14 cats, or making us laugh on NPR’s radio quiz show, “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me,” and her podcast, “Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone.” The first woman to host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Poundstone showcases her spontaneous wit in stand-up specials like “Cats, Cops and Stuff” and “Paula Poundstone Goes to Harvard.”

Saturday 10/7. $28–48.50, 8pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. theparamount.net
