The Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls, South Dakota welcomes comedian Paula Poundstone on Friday, October 16th.

Thirty two years ago Paula Poundstone climbed on a Greyhound bus and traveled across the country -- stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went.  A high school drop-out, she went on to become one of the great humorists of our time.

Paula provided her distinctive voice to the character “Forgetter Paula” in the new Disney Pixar film “Inside Out” about a young girl Riley who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job.

Paula's interchanges with the audience are never mean or done at a person’s expense. She even manages to handle politics without provoking the pall of disapproval less artful comics have received. She has starred in comedy specials on HBO and BRAVO, won an Emmy Award, and served as "official correspondent" for The Tonight Show during the 1992 Presidential race.

Showtime: 8:00 P.M. on Friday, October 16th / Tickets: $32.50 - $47.50 / Call: 605-367-6000

The Washington Pavilion is located at 301 S. Main Ave. Sioux Falls, SD 57104
