Paula Poundstone will be performing at University of California at Riverside in the University Theatre on October 17 at 8pm. Since that will be a scant two and a half weeks before Election Day, you can count on a performance that only comes along once every four years.

General admission tickets are $40 and student admission is $20. Parking in the garage closest to the theatre is an additional $5. The box office number is 915-827-4331.

While the University general address is perhaps pertinent [where: 900 University Ave., Riverside, CA 92521], you'll need to get deeper into the directions than that simple location can get you. So go here for more information.
