Paula Poundstone is one of the most original and imaginative comedians in the country today. Choosing honesty and her own off-kilter world view over the usual gender-biased topics of relationships, diets, men, or sex, Paula is among a handful of comics who came to prominence in the comedy-wild '80s and was still standing when the craze finally ended. Her offbeat interpretations of everyday life, including the peaks and valleys of parenting, come from her own experiences and have led to an ever-increasing list of accomplishments. She's won an American Comedy Award as Best Female Stand-up, two CableACE Awards, and a local Emmy. Her television work includes numerous appearances on 'The Tonight Show' and 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show,' among others, and starring in her own award-winning comedy specials.
