Comedian Paula Poundstone Announces Return to Missoula in 2025
Legendary comedian and podcaster Paula Poundstone will take the stage at The Wilma in Missoula for a night of standup comedy on December 4, 2025.
Her storied career dates back to the 1980s when she was awarded the American Comedy Award for Best Female Stand-Up Comic in 1989. A year later, she made history by becoming the first woman to win a CableACE Award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special with her HBO special Cats, Cops and Stuff.
