    I’ve been a fan of Paula Poundstone’s brilliant humor for years! Seeing her live would be amazing—not just for the laughs (which are all but guaranteed) but for the chance to experience her unscripted banter in person!

    Love Paula’s presence on Wait Wait … Can’t imagine how great she would be in person. Let’s go!!

    We love Paula Poundstone on Wait, Wait! We like to listen to NPR on Saturday mornings and try to time our errands with when the show is on so we can listen on the radio. We could use a little humor to end a strange year and would love this show!

  4. Renata on November 26, 2024 at 12:39 pm

    She is hilarious on Wait Wait and I would love to see her cover the Portland crowd :)!

    She is brilliant, a great refreshing time-out from the end-of-the-year and beginning-of-the-new-administration madnesses!

    I would love to go to this show. I listen every week and just love Paula Poundstone.

  21. Julie Nittler on December 3, 2024 at 2:11 pm

    I saw Paula Poundstone so a live show at my small midwest college in 1990(?). I think I’d appreciate her humor more today then I did at 19 and I would love to test this hypothesis. It would also be a nice weekend-outing-before-starting-a-new-job-on Monday thing.

  22. Cory on December 3, 2024 at 2:54 pm

    I’ll tell you what

  23. Sam on December 3, 2024 at 3:09 pm

    I’d love to see Paula again, it’s been about 15 years since I’ve seen her perform!

  24. jeanne zuelke on December 3, 2024 at 3:51 pm

    I love Paula on Wait Wait. Have never seen her in person. Now may be my chance!!! Fingers crossed

  25. Kimber on December 3, 2024 at 5:01 pm

    Wait Wait….don’t tell me Paula Poundstone will be in Portland! I would die (not literally) to see Paula live and in person!

  26. Jim on December 3, 2024 at 5:12 pm

    Wait, Wait and Paula … don’t tell me I’m going to miss this!

  27. Michael on December 3, 2024 at 8:24 pm

    Paula has been a favorite for years and my wife and I would love to go! ❤️ We’ve recently had medical issues so our budget is tight so winning tickets would be wonderful.

  28. Christine Huebner on December 3, 2024 at 9:15 pm

    Oh My goodness yes love her ~ this would be a great show

  29. Colleen on December 3, 2024 at 9:18 pm
