On Saturday, May 1st, 2004 at 9pm, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long Island will host an evening of comedy and laughs with comedian extrordinaire PAULA POUNDSTONE.

Paula Poundstone is one of the most original and imaginative comedians in the country. Coming to prominence in the comedy-conscious 80’s, Paula’s candid, conversational style and endearing off-kilter views of the world have sustained her as one of the foremost comics today. Rather than fueling the usual gender-based topics of relationships, diet, men or sex, Paula engages her audience with her off beat interpretation of everyday life. No matter how large the venue, Paula has the unique ability to create with her audience what she calls, “a feeling of being in the living room with a bunch of friends”.

Poundstone has earned an American Comedy Awards nod as the country’s best female stand-up comic, as well as two CableACE awards for her HBO specials, “Cats, Cops and Stuff” and “Paula Poundstone Goes to Harvard”. There’s the long list of appearances that include the Emmy Awards, the Oscars, the first woman to headline the White House Correspondents Dinner, “ The Tonight Show”, “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and “Sesame Street”. She’s also appeared at Comic Relief benefits for the homeless. IMAC is thrilled to offer this unique experience with comedian Paula Poundstone.
