WORDS WITH PAULA: Are you a frequent KERA listener? (Of course you are.) Then you’re familiar with Paula Poundstone, a regular on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me. On Friday, you can see her in person at the Majestic Theatre, where she’ll be performing her stand-up routine. At this point, she’s known for the give and take she has with the audience. “When I first started doing open mic nights, I would try so hard to memorize my five minutes of jokes, and invariably within seconds, I could be distracted — even before I’d said my first word,” she tells dfw.com. “At first I thought this was just the worst thing that could happen, that it was a lack of professionalism.. But somewhere along the way, I realized, well that was the really, really fun part.”
