AWARD WINNING COMEDIAN PAULA POUNDSTONE TO PLAY THE LUTHER BURBANK CENTER FOR THE ARTS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st


Santa Rosa, CA. ~ On Friday, Oc- tober 21st the Luther Burbank Cen- ter for the Arts in Santa Rosa, Cali- fornia welcomes comedian Paula Poundstone. “I’ll be in Santa Rosa, California at The Luther Burbank Center for the Arts. For Hallow- een I’m coming dressed as a kind of tired 56 year old woman” says Poundstone.

She even manages to han- dle politics without provoking the pall of disapproval received by less artful comics. “With the exception of that one time,” Paula claims. The talents of this brilliant hu- morist extend beyond standup comedy, but stop short of yodel- ing. In 2016 Paula voiced the character “Forgetter Paula” in Disney/Pixar’s Academy Award winning animated feature fi lm, INSIDE OUT. In June 2016, her fi rst double-live CD, “NORTH BY NORTHWEST: PAULA POUND- STONE LIVE!” (HighBridge) de- buted at #1 on both Amazon’s “Hot
