You should see my brother roast a crowd. He's vicious.

Paula is so underrated! She is great on NPR but her stand-up is so needed in today's world. Everyone should be required to watch one hour of their favorite comedian a day. 🤣 August 2022 here!

Everyone should be required to watch one hour of Paula Poundstone a day, just for one week; the world would be ligher and brighter;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;instantly;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;who needs light bulbs;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

She makes my day, everytime.

For anyone viewing this in 2018, Paula has a new podcast called Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone and it is GOLD.

I laughed through the entire show. She is the funniest person I have seen . I honestly am blown away! Real talent and unique and hilarious. Thank you Ms paula ! You are awesome.❤️

She's def one of the most talented comedians around. I'd love to see her in person, the only problem would be, I'd have tears of laughter through the whole show.

She is a National Treasure

I’m impressed with this woman’s spontaneous humor!

Very relatable. Drinking problem, ocd, pet crazy, too tired to stand up while doing stand up and talks too much. Lmao.

Excellent quality, well edited, no ads. Thanks for the upload. :)

Truly love what's in her head...maybe live there. I laugh out loud EVERY TIME I hear her. She's as funny now as 20 yrs ago.

Thank you Anton. I haven’t seen her in so long. She was one of my favorite comedians.

It sounds like the audience members have mics to me but I enjoyed this a lot

What a brilliant performance, I'm still a bit in awe. So funny, and smart. I wonder what it must feel like to walk off the stage after a show like that!

One of the great comedians from the great era of comedy she's effortless just makes it look easy,and so sharp on the wit...the best...let me do inventory,pissed myself 6 times,on the ground rolling 8 times ,what u mean its over she's coming back right..

"Would I be here if I didn't work with stinking Linda?!" has me laughing so hard my head hurts.

"I have terrible short-term memory loss, which I like to think of as presidential eligibility". I was just watching this after watching a 1989 show she did, and she told the same joke, and it was still as funny in this set as it was then. I think that speaks to her ability to pick out what is timelessly, universally funny while still keeping the context interesting and fresh every time. I love Paula also because she never resorts to punching down, is so intellectual while radiating relatability, and always artful in calling out the idiocy that goes on in the human race. I feel like she leaves an audience more intelligent than she found them, but with an inevitable mood boost. Truly one of a kind.

She is one of the best crowd work comedians I've ever seen. And her wit is RAZOR sharp. She comes back so fast that you barely have time to realize what she's responding to. She is one of the all-time greats of stand-up comedy.

It is so difficult to create comedy on the spot and yet over Half her routine is played off of the audience. She is so funny I have watched her for so long. She's so talented

Laughed so hard at the "what kind of a question is that" bit I think I pulled ab muscles I didn't know existed!

Omg! Paula is amazing at disarming that man! Bravo! That was the final message..........run!

I have always loved Paula poundstone. She is the goat of audience interaction! Amazing every time!

….”Don’t go Dixie Chicking me over that”. HILARIOUS

She is a great comedian and entertainer, and I am glad that I have watched this show twice in the last couple of weeks, and I have enjoyed it very much, both times !!!

I Read her book . The court was very, very hard on her. She's a survivor . A lot of people would have given up comedy, after that mess. Not Paula. She's still making people laugh. It didn't break her spirit. ++
