Fresh on the heels of the release of her hilarious new book, The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness (Algonquin Books), comedian Paula Poundstone is entertaining audiences across the country and leaving them complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter and wondering if the random people she talks to are plants. Of course, they never are.
Poundstone can be heard regularly on NPR’s #1 show, the weekly comedy news quiz “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” When asked about Paula, “Wait, Wait” host Peter Sagal replied, “Paula Poundstone is the funniest human being I have ever known. Everything she does, thinks, or says is hilarious. She is made of funny. If you chopped her into bits, each piece would be hilarious. (But don’t.) Air becomes funny having been breathed by her.”
