Trump's lies are costing us a lot of money. ... See MoreSee Less

…and global goodwill.

So is his golfing!

We're being forced to live in one man's version of the American Dream.

A lot more than money....freedom.

Here's a deadbeat!

but his fans don't care.................

He's a horrible person!

Every day, all day!

Not just money… lives. A great many lives if this budget passes. Including my own.

This is going to be bad for everyone except the wealthy. Patients and medical staff and facilities are in for a shock. Very bad 😔

He has single-handedly SUCKED THE JOY OUT OF LIFE

Billions and Billions of lies

Money, safety, standing in the world, liberty, you name it.

They’re going to cost a lot of people their healthcare, and subsequently, their lives. Innocent people are going to die.

they have been for years.

And sanity.

Trump policies are saving our nation. Your set in Wenatchee Wa would have been better without the politics.

THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER

You people are all out of your fucking minds.

You are a filthy liar.

Lives

Yes, and all of Biden's ( or whoever the f was ruining/running the country into the ground) didn't cost us a dime!!! Lmfao. WHERE THE F WERE YOU FOR 4 TORCHEROUS YEARS, PAULA?? MARS???

Who ?

who?

The "Leave no Child untouched tour"

I just don't find female comedians funny. Sorry.

It’s actually Saturday, October 18th.

We saw her last time she was here! Awesome!

Paula shoes are hilarity and the exact comic relief needed in this day and age. Love her stuff. If you don’t already. Listen to the podcast Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone! It’s like spending an hour or so with your good friends. I never miss it.

She puts on a great show and is great. She stayed after the show and gave autographs and talked to all the fans that stayed after. She stood out there until everyone was through. She cares so much for her fans. I highly recommend

Paula is hilarious! I love her!

Paula always gives a great show!

She has a great show! So funny!

Does anyone have an extra ticket they won't use? Or a living angel out there that would buy me one? I have loved her since I was kid. She was the only other weirdo I knew of, that was like me. I am dealing with significant illness, and literally no funds. I seriously need some laughter and connection.

This will be my third time seeing her.

Yay! Paula does such a wonderful live show. I can’t wait!

October 12th is a Sunday

Just a friendly public service announcement: Calling Paula a pedophile or a child molester is blatantly disrespectful to those of us who are victims of actual child molestation. You are welcome to not like someone’s comedy or someone’s POV, politics or even how they style their hair but for the sake of victims everywhere; I urge you to find a better way to express that you aren’t a fan

Charges: In 2001, Paula Poundstone was charged with felony child endangerment related to driving under the influence with her foster children. Additional Charges: She also faced charges of lewd acts upon a child under 14, involving alleged inappropriate touching of a 12-year-old girl. Guilty Plea and Outcome: Poundstone pleaded no contest to one count of felony child endangerment and a misdemeanor count of inflicting injury upon a child. Consequences: Probation and required alcohol rehabilitation were mandated. Adoption or fostering children in the future was prohibited, according to the Chron. Her foster children were removed from her care.

She drops the f bomb regularly. She is funny on wait wait don’t tell me because she can’t drop it and has to use her true wit. I was very disappointed with her show the last time.

Already have our tickets!

Is there a daytime show?

Paula’s shows are hysterical!!

I would love to see her show

This is the Flynn Theatre in Burlington,VT according to their website.

Got my tickets for ten

CANCEL YOUR TOUR, I WON'T BE THERE!

Dear Donald Trump,
Children don't know what 86 means. I learned the term when I worked at Bickford's Pancake House in Natick, MA. If we were out of the Apple Pancake, we said it was eighty-sixed, but we never shot it.
... See MoreSee Less

Comment on Facebook

Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, on Get Smart, a James Bond spoof sitcom that seems relevant again.

I always thought 86 meant put in the trash. Until this new dust up, I never related it to anything more nefarious. Gotta love those MAGA imaginations.

"Bickford's Pancake House"...now there's a blast from the past (also just an expression...I'm not suggesting anyone blast anything).

It is common restaurant parlance. Kitchen puts up a note - “86 cherry pie” means they’re out, waitstaff shouldn’t offer it to customers.

I don’t think he can even add 8 + 6. Or count to 86…..

His intellect knows no bounds.

It meant, “it’s off the menu” or when a bar 86’d you if you were disruptive, didn’t pay, or harassed other customers

"86" when I was growing up in Chicago simply meant to get rid of something. "I 86ed the old frying pan, it was rusty." "86 the attitude, man." In "The Candidate," a political advisor tells Robert Redford, "We have to 86 the sideburns."

I always took “86” to mean “get the hell out of here”. My source, “Boys in the Band” (1970); not the current remake. The remake was awful. Awesome film. Obviously very dated, but I still enjoy rewatching it.

To 86 something always meant dump it, throw it out, like trash. No killing was necessary. The man has no grip on reality and all his flying monkeys just jump along behind him saying yup,yup,yup!

Agent 86 get smart

He cant even count that high

We always said to 86 Someone referred to kicking them out of the bar because they’ve had too much to drink. Something about 86 proof I think?  but all of this is irrelevant Anyway, it has nothing to do with shells in the sand. 

I learned it on Get Smart

Wait, you’re out of the Apple Pancake? Seriously?

The Pancake House!

I bet you were a hilarious server who would have said the pancake was shot and that's why it was out of stock.

Wouldn't that have been fun though? Skeet shooting pancakes!

He confused 86 with 187. In his defense, anything with more than 1 digit confuses him.

In Trump's world it could mean having your 1st wife pushed down a stairwell.

All they had to do was ask Pete Hegseth what is means to be "86ed," he knows.....

Eight miles out and six feet under. Growing up in Vegas in the 60's it happened regularly.

Went there

It just means kicked out

Where i grew up, 86ed means you were thrown out or fired.

Why didn't the Capitol officers who were brutally attacked get 5 million dollars? ... See MoreSee Less

Comment on Facebook

exactly. I keep asking this every time they post her $5 million

They didn’t even get a plaque yet.

Question of the year!

Ohhh i don't know...do you think someone might have some GULIT???

Because they didn't have on their red hats.

Because she kissed Trumps ring and they didn’t

Agree!

Some were fatally attacked. What's the price tag on that?

Trump president and pardoned everybody and everybody sees everything different 🤬

Because crime pays now.

As the daughter of a police officer it makes wonder the same thing. Sad 

Payoffs are only for traitors and insurrectionists.

Outrageous. They should be compensated!

Because the inJustice Department is now corrupt.

Why aren’t police across the country outraged?

Good question!

Yes, I agree. Why didn’t they?

exactly!

We are living in a dictatorship. 😡

Right?

Because people are being rewarded for their help in overthrowing democracy.

Great question. Maybe they and their families need to sue that that person’s family did after she tried to over throw the government and break into the Capital building

We should support them to do so.

Look around? Do you recognize anything remotely related to democratic government? Why doesn’t anyone cry foul each time the Constitution is violated? Because they can’t keep up? How many are jeopardizing their government jobs and salaries, perqs, insurance for life, and pensions for the guys with a spouse and kids and a mortgage working his/her ass off Who was told you are not doing a good enough job and was fired by a nepo-baby with a chainsaw? We elected them to protect US!!! Where are THEY?? What happened to the hard-fought for programs to protect US? Gone. Why didn’t someone in office stop them? Where are the checks and balances? Where is integrity? Honor? So we have a shady president… WHY are all the others crooked? Does NO ONE HAVE HONOR, CONSCIENCE, INTEGRITY, anymore?

Yes!

Okay, let’s say Paula wants to keep entertaining people, but at a distance. Could she make it as a cartoonist? “New Yorker” cartoonist and author Tom Toro is here to sketch out that scenario. And then we confuse you (and ourselves) with the return of the Poundstone Riddle Invitational! Listen wherever you get your pods! ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you for being a vocal supporter of public libraries and books! I was thrilled to see you perform at ALA in Las Vegas, maybe 2017? Issa Rae was one of the new authors you introduced to us, and OMG hasn’t she gone on to do great things? Thank you for all your posts.

Usually when I see a comedian come on the talk shows, they seem to bomb. Not because they aren’t funny, but because audiences expect the host to tell jokes not a guest. His audience laughed at your observations throughout the set. Congrats! 🎉

Your suit is similar to what Madonna wore to the Met Gala but yours is better

All I know is I laughed so hard and so loud watching your set on Colbert's show. I absolutely adore you and your what you wore was to die for.

if you have a neon hair color somewhere on the rainbow, walk around in public wearing pajama pants while proudly sucking your thumb under your mask, you're gonna love whatever it is she calls "a show"

Hey Paula beat any kid’s lately?

Pokin at ya,pokin at ya,, shes funny

She was on one of the late nites recently, maybe Colbert if you’d like a sample of her humor.

Sorry to tell you, but by November 15, most of the leaves will be on the ground. 🤷‍♂️

Lebanese comedy?

Girl wearing a bulletproof Rash

who?

How do you know you’re in a lesbian library?………..there’s no humor section. I’m funnier than she is.

Texas poundcake news. Its a vape.

I saw her at Clowes probably 6 or 7 years ago! Super funny! 🤣

One of the best, live stand ups

Saw you in Indy several years ago, I think at Clowes Hall. Hoping to see you again.

Megan Polston - this would be a lot of fun. She is hilarious.

I’d love to see her. She’s truly original.

We felt sorry for her when it all went down. Now grow up and move on. She needs to keep walking and shut up if she wants to continue to be any part of this group.

I live two blocks away. Awesome

I will be there with bells on!

I love her. Just bought tickets and got great seats!

Whoa! 1986 is back!

Don’t show up late!

Would love to see her but ticket prices out of range.

I’m in!!!

Holy shit!!!! I didn't even know you still did comedy! One of my idols for sure.nyou and Judy tenula started me off on my journey.

Lock up your children. A comedian/pedo is coming to town.
