Comedy Night: THE BEST OF IDA - THE FUNNIEST WOMAN IN MAINE

Comedy Night: THE BEST OF IDA - THE FUNNIEST WOMAN IN MAINE

Poolyle Productions and Deertrees Theatre present Susan Poulin in THE BEST OF IDA Thursday, July 16, at 7:30 PM. Ida LeClair, star of Ida: Woman Who Runs With the Moose!, Ida's Havin' a Yard Sale!, I Married an Alien!, The Moose in Me, the Moose in You and A Very Ida Christmas, has been called "the funniest woman in Maine." Now is your chance to find out why.

THE BEST OF IDA is a show chuck-a full of Ida's favorite stories. She'll crack you up with her insights into love, sex and the Pine Tree State of mind. Guaranteed to put you in touch with your "innah Mainah," Ida has Moxie, and she's not afraid to drink it!

"Me and my girlfriends saw THE BEST OF IDA in Ogunquit last fall," reports Sally Hughes of Cape Neddick, Maine, "and we're goin' back for a second time. 'Cause honestly, we were laughing so hard, we missed half the jokes."

Doris Plourde of York, ME agrees. "I thought I'd split a gut when she started talking about that Cabbage Soup Diet! They really should have Depends by the door for some of us!"

Ida is the brain child of writer/performer Susan Poulin. Selected by Portland Magazine as one of the "Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine," Susan has been creating and touring her original theatrical productions since 1992. She was a featured performer in The Mirth of Venus and The Mirth Canal at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, The Maine Festival, the Minneapolis Fringe Theater Festival and Portland, Maine's Cassandra Project. Her work has been supported by the NH State Council on the Arts, the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Humanities Council. Susan is also a popular keynote speaker, and has brought her humor and insight to presentations for a wide variety of organizations. As her alter-ego Ida, Susan writes the popular Maine humor blog and podcast, Just Ask Ida, and is the author of Finding Your Inner Moose: Ida LeClair's Guide to Living the Good Life, published by Islandport Press.
