This is NOT the review I meant to tell you...

That will make sense (barely) if you listen to this performance. Its Paula doing what she does best! Going on stage and making it up as she on the fly. Enjoy and bring warm jacket.

My Stomach Hurt

What did you love best about North by Northwest: Paula Poundstone Live!?

Since I mostly listen to my audio books while in my car, I was driving as I listened to this one. This was Paula at her best--I love her sense of humor and her unique delivery and this book didn't disappoint. I did, however, find it difficult to drive with tears flooding my eyes, buckling over in hysterical laughter as I listened. I must admit I received quite a few strange looks from my fellow drivers, but I sure arrived at work in a delightful mood.

Laugh Out Loud

I've listened to this several times since purchasing it a few months ago and I still laugh every time. I don't even care if I look like an idiot with my earphones on just smiling and laughing to myself. When I need a pick-me-up during my day, I can count on this album to make me cheerful again.

It is so clear that Paula Poundstone loves people and people love her. Her interactions with the audience is unique and makes me want to see her on stage even more.

paula is my lifeline

i like when she picks on people innoculously. the judy stuff was funny. i like that she is comedic about world and family issues without Turning her show into a Ted talk. Or ranting and raving With anger, using her platform as a way to just complain. She has been.
My favorite comedian since she first started. Every few years, I find all of her stuff and rewatch it. If I run out of her stuff to watch, I find her t v episodes on talk shows on youtube. There's no better way to lift yourself up than Laughing and feeling happy and she always provides that in her shows. She's so funny!
