A very special guest, indeed! Comedy geniuses, both of you.

That's how I felt when I met you, too!

So wonderful!!!!

Who is he?

Love you both!!

So awesome!

So nice meeting YOU yesterday!

Me too! & I wasn't there. Always look on the bright side of life.

Looove seeing your two smiling faces together! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Ermahgerd!! So exciting ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š

How fun!!!!

Yay for YOU!!๐Ÿ’•

Was that in San Ramon?

Two legends!

I’ve had the pleasure of having had personal interactions on the “platform formerly known as Twitter” with the both of you.

You are a wonderful Mistress of Ceremony. Great show tonight. ๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸŽ‰

What fun.

Dirk Mcquickly of The Ruttles.

With whom?

SAY NO MORE!

In heaven? My understanding is that you're both not quite dead. In fact, you're feeling much better.

Awesome. <3 How shall we fuck off, O Lord?

Tell 'em to get you a chair!

Paula, you were fantastic! Enjoyed the plush *high school* venue. Have enjoyed your wildness since I lived a few blocks from “The Other Cafe.” Seems a lifetime ago. Fun times. Some things change but you are still so funny. Thanks for the show.

You were great, as usual!

They did not understand the assignment.

Wow, you R multi talented being able to sit in a two-legged stool and all. ๐Ÿ™‚

We’re looking forward to seeing you tonight in Pittsburg!

That’s the best we could do for you, seating-wise, here in the Bay Area?! Come to Oakland - I’m sure we could do better.

I am assuming/hoping there is a third leg in that thing.

Looking forward to seeing you in Pittsburg, and I’m not talking Pennsylvania!

Great show tonight! Thanks Paula.

Well, at least it’s padded.

Man ! I wanted to go to this one !!!

Oh God. Your back. I have been a massage therapist fir 35 years. Good luck on you quads too. Jeez

Stool sample

Eesh! Accomodations not .

Weak. I would be inclined to leave a different kind of stool.

Apparently the can not afford a chair!

Well it's a nice color anyway

Wait, they can't even afford a chair with a BACK on it???? Come to Northern Michigan......we'll give you a recliner!! With a pillow. And Cherry PopTarts.

They had a guest chimpanzee who loved that stool.

No duct tape....nice!

You tell 'em Paula!!!!

As a little kid I fantasized that I would someday be rich. I wanted a pool that I could swim in, beside a pool that housed my otter and seal. I never dreamed of being rich to keep others down, not pay my share, or buy politicians.
(By the way I don't have any pools, otters or seals, and I'm not rich)

Comment on Facebook

But you are loved and that is worth more than $$

But you have cats which is just as good.

There are different kinds of rich. You've already made it to the kind that makes life better for others. Thank you.

"Rich" has a lot of definitions but I'm with you on the otter and seal pool thing ๐Ÿ˜

You are rich in character, and have enriched many lives! ๐Ÿฆฆ

Because you are not a greedy narcissist. And we are grateful for you.

Keep working for that otter Paula, we believe in you! Here are the otters that live at my workplace

I love that you are there for the un-pooled otter and seal community.

Paula, Of course you’re rich!! Look how many of us come to see you and follow you here!! And you make every damn one of us roar with laughter!! ๐Ÿค—

But, PAULA POUNDSTONE -- you are rich in cats

I'll come hang out in a puddle in your yard. Will that help? I can't tell if my parents like it when I do that but they throw food at me every now and then. It's usually in a can. Come to think of it, maybe they don't like it. My offer still stands

Paula, thank you for the many "riches " of your wonderful humor that you have shared with all of us! Coming from a Wait wait don’t tell me fan to seeing you in person in our tiny Lebanon NH , your gifts outweigh any wealth , thank you, from a grateful fan!

All I ever wanted was to be comfortable enough with finances to live a good life. No big house, no touch-less furniture, no expensive cars, just health and ordinary happiness.โค๏ธ

You should be rich—-you’re HILARIOUS!!!!

Paula, I knew I could never afford a pool, so I lobbied hard for a stock tank & finally got one. Pretty cheap, super easy to care for, and you could have satellite locations for the seals & otters. I love mine. Google stock tank pools.

Having cats makes you rich

I never wanted to be rich or famous, although I'd prefer wealth if I could pick one. Here's what I want: to own my own home, with ceiling fans, skylights, a fireplace, quiet but not car-reliant, a fenced yard to let a dog out when I'm not up to walking them, and space to put ham radio antennas. It would cost a couple million where I live now, which I clearly don't have, but I don't think it's anything extravagant. The best thing about wealth, I think, would be the ability to give it away. And you can't really enjoy it when your fellow citizens lack food, housing, health care, education, child care, etc.

My condo neighbor had a dog named Porche. After she moved into the condo a friend gave her a kiddy pool so that she had a Porche and a pool.๐Ÿ˜„ Porche loved the pool and it was just her size since she was a retriever.

You are rich to me. Funny, smart, successful! Saw you live in Indy before Covid, so enjoyed it! You add to the richness of my life!

I wanted a pool and turtles. I don’t have them either.

You are rich in talent, my dear! Been loving your humor for decades!

But you are funny, and you make people laugh and forget their troubles for a while or at least laugh about them. That makes you rich in the best sense of the word.

Otterly ridiculous. But those were the good old days before Citizens United decision changed everything.

If wealth is measured in cats, I’m wealthy beyond means, which is why I haven’t retired.

Rich in stories and children and animals... Pretty rich!

If you or I or anyone tried to require rare minerals from someone for protection. We would be arrested. It’s what gangsters do. It’s called extortion

Hi Paula…loved you since the Other Cafe…

Oh PAULA America turns it’s lonely eyes to you

Dear Canada,
My audience in Buffalo would usually have a lot of Canadians in it. I don't blame you for staying away. Many of us here love you, and are sorry for what Trump is doing. Stay strong. Stay safe.

I echo this. We love and appreciate Canada as a nation and all of your citizens. Most Americans loathe tRump and Musk. We are hoping our nation and our friendship with Canada survives. โค๏ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Just another example of how the little gal is the one being hurt by these ridiculous policies. So sorry, Paula

Thank you from Canada, Paula! It feels very weird to be doing this. Really strange and sad. But necessary. I have to believe this awful episode will end soon.

As a Canadian I can say that we love you and we love American people. It's the leadership on both sides that is problematic. We just stayed away because we weren't sure if we would have to buy an extra seat on the plane to take back our geese or if we'd have to pay to check them as luggage. Thank you and sorry but most of all sorry. All are welcome in Canada. We just love you!

Too many innocent people suffer. You are loved Paula. ๐Ÿ˜

I also agree. Not all Americans are like Trump. In fact, I may be a visitor in July. I hope if people see an Ohio license plate, they will treat me the way Canadians have treated me in past visits.

No doubt they would have brought you a few more of their candy bars...

If you come to Macon , GA this Canadian will go see you๐Ÿ˜

Yes Canada we are so sorry

P.s. there's still the small matter of the geese.

With all due respect we Canadians are well aware that it is not all of the US hates us but apologies are not really enough to aleviate the harm and insult. As far as I am concerned this friendship is over...that is the way life goes. We will find new friends...good luck to you.

We Love Canada!!!โค๏ธโค๏ธ

Thanks. It's going to take a whole lot more than removing tariffs etc before we forgive the crap shoved at us.

Thank you so much for being as great as you are, PAULA POUNDSTONE

Love you Paula

Where in Buffalo I want to be there thank you.

I just saw you in Bakersfield. Way too many Trump Supporters here

American here, i am so sorry to our friends in Canada. We are not all like dumpmusker

And now, please come get your geese.

We love you PAULA POUNDSTONE! โค๏ธ Thank you for still being you!

You are our hat that keeps us warm!

I've seen you twice in Canada. If you cross the border we will come.

We were in the audience in Clearwater, and were dismayed by the few hecklers there. We were ready to back you up if they got too rowdy!! They do not speak for all of us!! Tell em about it Paula!!

We love you Paula โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

Comments about Aubrey Jones' post: 1. Leave it be. As the saying goes, never argue with a fool- people might not be able to tell the difference. 2. On her timeline on 12/28/2024, it is posted that he is a 100% Trump supporter.per DNA tests. 3. On her timeline on 12/30/2024, it is posted that he is a "Certified Pothead", which may explain #2 above.

Thanks for a night your youngest audience member will never forget!!! We had the best time!!๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Great show ... beware of the wild Mergansers and Killdeer ๐Ÿ˜‰

A steam iron maybe? What about that wallpaper back there? Can you tell 'em about that?

Tell em it's time to clean the upholstery

That chair is begging for a basket of yarn, some knitting needles and a fluffy cat.๐Ÿคฃ

At least that chair looks comfy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Finally, a real chair

Are ya shuffling off?

Nice chair! Junior League style.

Looks acceptable.

Thanks for a great evening out, Paula Poundstone. I hope you meet a lot of international travelers at the airport. Here’s a killdeer, singing. youtu.be/-4u6ax5P-o8?si=IR2MoFH0Y6zdy9m5

My grandma had 2 hunter green chairs like this.๐ŸŒฟ

Now that's a throne for a queen of comedy

Hey Paula, I'm just down the road in North Buffalo.....wish I could have seen your show, but got the flue, just want to let you know I'm a big fan. Don t forget to get some chicken wings

On a wing and a prayer, or beef on weck?

Guessing chair is from 1965, $12 brand new

I'm in Buffalo!!!1

Go Bills!

Ran out of material? Couldn't decide between the two? What's the story? Something up with these two material choices? Maybe this was all the material available? There's a story there... Tell 'em and see what you can find out!!

You were such a great performer. I remember seeing you lying down on the Bailey Hall stage at Cornell and saying you felt like you were on the Poseidon. And having you call after being snowed in - in Philadelphia, and asking, “How can I get to Ithaca?” You couldn’t and we knew it. You said, “We will figure this out and I’ll come back.”And you did. Thank you!

Yes! Thank you for sharing your gift of comedy with us! We badly need the laughter these days. โ˜บ๏ธ

Seems like a relatively classy chair.

We have the best chairs!

Ohhhh. Nice. Was it comfy or feel like you were in a hill? (Laughs)

They have selected a perfect chair for you!

Nice chair! Hope it is as comfortable as it looks!

We're waiting for you Paula!!!

Interesting chair! Hope it goes well!

Love Ithaca and will love you

The handiwork of apprentice upholstery.

A chair you deserve!!!

That chair wants to be a princess so bad. ๐Ÿ‘ธโ˜บ๏ธ

Someone was nervous on the left side

When are you coming to Kansas City?

Love Ithaca!!

Fancy.

One of the few towns that was founded by someone with a lisp.

Now THAT there is a classy chair! One might even say it's gorges! Makes me proud of ol' Ithaca!

If I can’t sell it, I’m gonna sit down on it. Why should I give it away?

Beautiful chair ๐ŸŒฟ

YOU TELL ‘EM PAULA!

Get em

Oooh fancy chair!

Its really sad that you even have to say this to anyone, much less a world leader.

I totally count! Thank you!

He showed us tHat years ago when he mocked a gentleman with disabilities.

Absolutely and he won't admitt he's got rectus opticus. Every thing he sees and touches turns shitty.

It’s all too much BS. Glad many of us can still think for ourselves and spread love and care. Can’t wait to see you tonight! Grateful that you’re providing some much needed laughter therapy these days. Thank you, PAULA POUNDSTONE! ๐Ÿ™

He's a monster, and insane

He doesn’t give a shit about humanity, period.

I'm disabled and I COUNT!

He has a major disability

People with disabilities and the elderly are dispensable

They count. And they vote.

Yeah; they vote, too.

Who is giving โค๏ธ to this!!! What is wrong with you!

And he is one

Have you seen Donald walk recently? It may feel uncomfortably close for him to consider people with physical disabilities. And obviously he’s not exactly good at self reflection. Or thinking in general. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผ‍โ™€๏ธ

Keep tellin' them my friend

Of course!

He and a walker will meet someday…

Wait. You're on bluesky?? Following!

He really isn't a World Leader, just the USA president.

They do.

I know I try Paula and i think a lot more will

Dang it. I can’t with you sometimes. This is too funny Paula. On a different note. Can I ever please have your voice on my answering machine. Ever?

You knew that when he made fun of that reporter, prior to the First Infestation.

Donald Trump is attacking America from the inside like the goddamned worm in RFK Jr.'s brain. ... See MoreSee Less

Comment on Facebook

A profoundly spot on analogy

Sadly, yes. It’s disgusting to watch.

Laugh cry get angry.

I believe the worm had more compassion, empathy, intelligence, integrity ... and was better at his job

Or a launched space x rocket

“The enemy within” — they always describe themselves when they’re insulting someone else. A worm and a traitor.

Yep. And I don't see any action being taken to try to impeach him and remove his sorry a$$ from office. Sometimes I wonder if ladies like Elizabeth Warren are the only ones in the Senate with the cajones to cause some Righteous Trouble.

It’s depressing, dehumanizing, bigoted, and hateful, but it’s not surprising. It’s who he is.

Sadly, only the worm has died.

Did you watch the Daily Show wrestling analogy? Jon Stewart somehow delivered the scariest information through humor.

it absolutely deserves it

I saw a direct parallel between Musk's rockets and what Trump is doing to America. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Absolutely.

It's horrible what this guy is doing to our country!

If the president of the United States was a Russian asset, this is exactly what he would do. Just saying

An unvaccinated worm that contracted measles and spread encephalopathy to the host

Disagree. He's doing exactly what he said he would do and what the American people elected him to do. Pay attention. There's nothing surprising here. Remember when Biden said he was doing all he could do to enforce our southern boarder? I imagine you believed him. Ever wonder where the personal wealth of our congressman and senators came from? Stay tuned, you're about to find out and won't you be surprised....

I heard that a worm tried to eat Trump’s brain but starved to death.

๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

If ever there was a time to take it to the streets, now is the time. Stand up, speak out and take action. Don't just complain, take action!

You don’t suppose DuhDonald IS the worm in RFK Jr’s brain?

I remember my dad telling me about this when I was a kid โ˜น๏ธ

The Donald is 5 star General!

It's the upside down world , and safety checks are contaminated.

Truth.
