Lied presents Poundstone By .Gerry Beta Senior Reporter Paula Poundstone, comedienne extraordinare, will bring her hyper hilarities to the Lied Center, 301 Q St., tomorrow night at 8. Poundstone has proven time and again that she is a multitalented individual. From stand-up comedy and CableACE awards, to writing and dramatic television, she has done just about everything. And she says that’sjust the way she likes it. “It’s great because I don’t get bored,” Poundstone said, “and as any investment banker will tell you, it’s good to diversify.” Her comedy act, which is never the same twice, also features inter action with audience members. But, she said, she doesn’t hold any se cret to what makes something funny. “If I knew that, I’d be so rich and famous, but it would take all of the guesswork out.” One thing she does not budge on is what she writes or what she thinks is tunny, and that must be a part of every agreement she signs, Pouridstone said. “My grammar is bad, and my punctuation is not quite what it should be,” she said, but it’s up to her to decide what’s funny. “It’s my butt hanging out there, my name on the paper, and I’ll be the one to decide if it is or is not funny. I’m the one that lives or dies by what occurs.” Part of this cautionary measure has come from watching bureau cracy at work behind the scenes of television, she said. “Someone might think of a silly joke for a show, like someone get ting hit in the face with a cream pie, and you get 30 people asking, ‘Should it be cream with banana or cream with yogurt?’” Poundstone’s concert is spon sored in part with Lincoln General Courtesy of The Frazier Co. Paula Poundstone brings her comedic act to the Lied Center for Performing Arts Saturday night. Hospital’s Outreach Program on Youth Violence, something she said is important to keep in mind. “I think it’s safe to say it is the No. 1 cause of death of youths to day,” she said. “It’s pretty bizarre.” Poundstone has also recently be come a foster mother, which has had its ups and downs, she said. “It’s been a real rollercoaster ride. ” Making it as a stand-up comic is difficult, she said, but added that she has been fortunate to be where she is today. She credits her audi ence for her sustained success. “I’m hardly a household name, but my following is full of intelli gent and nice people.” Another element of success in stand-up comedy is the venue it’s presented in, she said. “If you work in a nightclub, you j ust see who shows up. But working in a concert setting makes a big difference, because the people who go there are probably familiar with me. Edge sponsors music festival featuring 311 By Jeff Randall Senior Reporter If you couldn’t make the road trip to Lollapalooza this summer, and the H.O.R.D.E. tour didn’t quite sound like a good idea, you might want to check out a music festival a bit closer to home. Edgefest, a nine-band concert spon sored by Omaha/Lincoln radio station KGDE-FM (101.9) “The Edge,” kicks off at 1 p.m. Sat urday at Omaha’s Ak-Sar-Ben In field. Tickets are $12.50 in advance and $15 the day of the show, which will be a go rain or shine. KGDE promo tions director and on-air personality Kristy said Edgefest was put together for a number of reasons. “We wanted to thank our listeners for their support over the last six months, we wanted to throw an end of-summer celebration, and we just wanted to get a really good concert in Omaha,” she said. And local music fans have re sponded. More than 10,000 tickets had been sold as of Thursday, and Kristy said she expected a sellout by Saturday. The lineup for the event was largely determined by the input of employees at KGDE. Headlining band 311 had been the earliest concern for most, she said. “311 was our first and foremost priority, what with them being from Omaha and having just released a new album,” Kristy said. “They were the ones we absolutely had to get.” The other top band will be the Violent Femmes, a band that has gained a large following over its long running career. “We knew we had to get a band that was established and that everybody would know and love, especially for our older listeners, and the Violent Femmes were perfect for that,” she said. The remainder of the nationally known bands—God Lives Underwa ter, the Urge, the Nixons and Phunk Junkeez—were chosen by the KGDE staff by using slightly different crite ria. “We looked for bands that we thought were cool, but that hadn’t necessarily been heard by everybody,” Kristy said. The three remaining local acts — Heroes and Villains, Shovelhead and % Secret Skin—were chosen after they sent copies of their music to KGDE for “The Basement Tapes,” a weekly local music show. Kristy encouraged local music fans to come out few Edgefest and get in volved in the music they love. “This is an opportunity to do some thing'more with music than just turn a radio knob,” she said. “But it’s really all about the music and having a lot of fun with it.” Wong Foo Continued from Page 12 Each of the three undertakes a per sonal battle while waiting for the car to be repaired. Vida helps a woman being battered by her husband, Noxeema brings out a socially-re served woman who has a penchant for . old movie stars and Chi Chi deals with affairs of the heart. And they are beautiful, even if Chi Chi seems to be modeling her behav ior afW Rosie Perez. When Swayze kicks in a door, he does it so ... lady like. Overall a good film that handles delicate subject matter with both hu mor and sensitivity, “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar” is worth the money. 02 Appliances 05 Bicycles 10 Books 13 Clothing 16 Computers 20 Furniture 30 Jewelry 40 Misc.
