Paula Poundstone Essentials

Paula Poundstone's inner monologue is one of confusion and disdain, and she's transformed it into a hilarious form of public confession, honed by years of experience on stage and TV. She's bullishly mortified at her own physicality (“Jowels”), incredulous at the media's attitude to romance (“Time for Sex”) and health (“Includes No Beans”), and openly appalled at the lives of teenagers (“In the Absence of a Frontal Lobe”). She approaches every subject with a quizzical morality, shaking down audience members for key life details and reflecting them back on herself (“Lady Home W/her Kids”).
