RE: Paula Poundstone comes to the Regent Theatre, in Arlington, March 19th on her 2005

“THE BIG PICTURE” National Tour!

Clad in her signature necktie, she’s one of the nation’s funniest, most original and most imaginative comediennes. Poundstone has accomplished much over her 23-year career in comedy. This American Comedy Award, Cable Ace Award, and Emmy Award-winning funny lady has been seen on numerous HBO specials, E! Entertainment Television, and “The Tonight Show”, and has written feature pieces for major publications including The Los AngelesTimes and Entertainment Weekly. Paula is also currently a bi weekly guest on NPR’s weekly political comedy show “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”. Recently Paula made one of her many guest appearances on “The Late Show w/David Letterman”.

Currently Paula is headlining across the country on her 2005 “THE BIG PICTURE” National Tour. Poundstone’s quick wit, unmatched spontaneity and the ability to improvise with her audience has made her a comedy legend. Paula’s offbeat commentary of everyday life and her propensity for interacting with the crowd have been winning over her audiences for years. Loyal fans and newcomers alike can look forward to more of the same. You can expect razor sharp observational humor on subjects like; current events, politics and parenting. Recently Paula was invited to perform in the Experts Only show at the 2005 HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado.

Paula continues to lend her time and talents to support various causes.

From foster parenting for eight years to finding time to support various causes, such as AIDS research, promoting adoptive and foster families, Planned Parenthood, Comic Relief, aiding the homeless, and campaign finance reform, Poundstone sees it as a privilege to contribute.
