Review (PDF) North By Northwest: Paula Poundstone Live!
Award-winning comedian Paula Poundstone is legendary for her spontaneous wit and razor-sharp humor. She is a popular panelist on NPR's Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me! and tours regularly, keeping audiences laughing in her one-woman shows. In North by Northwest, Paula is at her best in two memorable performances, one recorded in Bayfield, Wisconsin, at Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua and the other at the historic Aladdin Theater in Portland, Oregon. Join Paula Poundstone in her element: sharing too much information, telling unpredictable stories, and interacting with her audience with a spontaneity that is considered without peer. Says Paula about her first double live CD, "Laughter is the best medicine, and I prescribe two CDs when symptoms occur." �

If you're a fan of Paula Poundstone, this is a no-brainer. Her usual brand of clever, insightful, observational humor is in full force. Her ability to banter with the audience is a gift she must have sold her soul to the devil to get!
I listen to it to go to sleep at night. It keeps me my mind off the stresses of everyday life. What would we do without Paula? I hope she writes a follow-up memoir, but without the history interludes.
This is hilarious! Listened to it in the car and I'm pretty sure people thought I had lost my mind because I was hysterically laughing while sitting alone in traffic. I laughed until I cried. It's a must buy.
Paula Poundstone is brilliant. This two-disc is CD is really high quality. I think it's the best live show CD I've bought. Really clear sounding. Worth twice the price.The woman is startlingly clever. She never gets boring, never gets snarky in drill down, is very analytical, has great mental retention and does impromptu interaction with audience members that are hilarious.It isn't a set-up. This is cold cal, off the cuffl stuff. I listened to the CD twice in a row. It'is that good. Her live shows are exceptionally good and this CD records two. One in Wisconsin and one in Oregon.I do not receive free products, nor discounts, for a review. Any product I review on was purchased from .com.
Few comics can crack me up as thoroughly or as consistently as Paula Poundstone and this CD proves it again. She interacts directly with the audience with what appears to be entirely unplanned, off-the-cuff remarks. A lot of comics can't do this at all, or fail horribly when they try. Paula does it effortlessly and reliably. It takes a seriously intelligent mind to entertain in this way.This CD isn't quite as convulsion-inducing as some of her others (never listen to her "I Heart Jokes" disc while driving!), but it still delivered.
Can't ever go wrong with Paula. These shows are from 2015 and 2016 in Wisconsin and Oregon, so quite topical with some good political asides. I wish she would record all her shows, never ceases to entertain.
She is a hilarious lady! I was at one of her Portland performances, and fortunately it was different from the one on the recording, so I got the benefit of hearing a lot of new material. Truly spent most of the time laughing out loud. She is so sharp and funny in interacting with audience members, which means that every performance is probably unique. I want more more more Paula.
She's hilarious. I bought it to listen to in my car. I just sat parked in my driveway, laughing. I was unable to get out of the car!
