Presented by The Music HallPaula Poundstone is a humorist, author and comedian known for her clever, observational humor and spontaneous wit. When she isn’t collecting hotel soaps while on tour or panel-ing on NPR’s #1 show, Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!, Paula hosts the popular Maximum Fun podcast, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone. Nobody is a comedy field guide to life complete with taste tests, cats of the weeks and leading experts in everything from beekeeping to ping pong to prosopagnosia (say that 3 times fast). Paula’s stand-up credentials are endless: Cats, Cops and Stuff; Goes to Harvard; Look What the Cat Dragged In; and numerous television appearances including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Last Call with Carson Daly, Late Show with David Letterman and HBO specials. Famously, Paula provided backstage commentary during the 1992 presidential election on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and was the first woman to host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Message to patrons from Paula:
We will be together laughing at my show in Tarrytown at the Tarrytown Music Hall as soon as we can. The show scheduled for Friday, January 21st, has been rescheduled to Friday, October 21st. I’ll be on stage, and there will be a guy in the third row, and I'll say, "Sir? the guy right there in the blue shirt? Yes, Sir, you. What do you do for a living?" and he'll say, "I'm a marketing director for a company," and I'll say, "What kind of a marketing director doesn't say the name of the company, in front of an audience?
I can hardly believe this is happening again, but I want you to be safe, so I'll wait. Be kind to one another, and keep track of your mittens.
