The business of being funny is a rough one. It's obviously ironic that comedy is such a pain in the ass to break into and succeed at. And for the ladies, it's even more of a serious challenge.

Maybe that's why Paula Poundstone often wears a suit and tie. She's toying with the brains of the business and winning the game. She's been a popular funny woman for decades, and most recently, has been hamming it up on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me, which you and your mama both listen to. She's got a new CD out, I Heart Jokes: Paula Tells Them in Boston, and earlier this year, appeared with Whoopi Goldberg and Joan Rivers in Showtime's Why We Laugh Too: Women of Comedy.

This December 5, she'll be appearing at the Bailey Concert Hall at Broward College in Davie and we've got two tickets with your name on 'em. Click on for deets.
