About this event

“Poundstone epitomizes what is great and special about stand-up comedy.” — Los Angeles Times Paula Poundstone has been making audiences laugh for decades — and making them think just as hard. Known for her smart observational humor and spontaneous wit, Poundstone has built one of the most distinctive and durable careers in American comedy. She is a regular panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!, host of the weekly podcast Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone, and the voice of Forgetter Paula in Pixar’s Inside Out and Inside Out 2. She has starred in multiple HBO specials, including Cats, Cops and Stuff, which won the CableACE Award for Best Comedy Special, and made history as the first female comic to host the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Her second book, The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness, was a semifinalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor; the audiobook was a finalist for the Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year. After all this time, a Poundstone show still feels like something happening in real time — sharp, unpredictable, and completely alive.

Cyrille AiméeFrom $65

Cyrille Aimée

Emelin Theatre · Mamaroneck

“A sweet, girlish voice that she controls with a sniper’s precision.” — The New York Times GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Cyrille Aimée has earned international acclaim for her fearless improvisation, radiant stage presence, and genre-crossing approach to jazz. Winner of the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Aimée has performed with Roy Hargrove, appeared at the Apollo Theater, and starred alongside Bernadette Peters in a Stephen Sondheim tribute at New York City Center with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Her reimagining of Sondheim’s “Marry Me a Little” earned a GRAMMY nomination, and her performance in the New York City Center tribute was hailed by the New York Daily News as “a revelation.” Aimée’s music is shaped by a life lived across cultures. Raised in Samois-sur-Seine, France—home of the Django Reinhardt Festival—she grew up in a multilingual household filled with music, dance, and the Afro-Caribbean rhythms of her Dominican heritage. As a teenager, she would sneak out at night to join the gypsy jazz musicians gathered nearby, an experience that helped shape her unmistakable sense of rhythm, spontaneity, and musical freedom. Her 2024 album, À Fleur de Peau, reveals a more personal side of her artistry, blending jazz, pop, Caribbean rhythm, and storytelling into music that feels intimate, open, and alive. For audiences, a Cyrille Aimée concert is a chance to hear a vocalist who brings precision, warmth, and improvisational joy to every song—music that moves easily across borders while staying deeply connected to the moment.
