NPR listeners know that public radio holds more than just the charms of Ira Glass. On weekly quiz show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Paula Poundstone ups the hilarity quotient with her dry, quick wit and sharp commentary. Her standup routines, meanwhile, are beloved for her casual, stream-of-consciousness style and wacky sensibility. At this benefit for Death Penalty Focus, an advocacy group dedicated to the abolition of capital punishment, she's joined by a host of local comedic talent, including Aundre the Wonderwoman, Joe Klocek, and Brian Copeland — whose own incisive standup was the precursor to his über-successful solo show Not a Genuine Black Man.
