     [IMAGE]POUNDSTONE BACK ON COMEDY CIRCUIT     [IMAGE]  [IMAGE] PAULA POUNDSTONE   Paula Poundstone is back on the comedy track after a stint in jail and drug rehab. She completed a court-ordered 180-day stay at a live-in rehab facility, and is currently on track for a comeback.   The 41-year-old comedienne performed at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, California last Friday, poking fun at herself and her situation in classic Poundstone style.   "It's kind of strange to see this many seats not in a circle," she joked, alluding to the time she spent at the Promises rehabilitation facility in Malibu.    "This is my first night performing since I've been a criminal," said Poundstone. "Jail is just like the cop shows. I got one phone call, and I called Dick Van Dyke."   Poundstone pleaded no contest to felony child endangerment and a misdemeanor charge of inflicting injury on a child on September 12. Three counts of lewd acts upon a child were dropped by prosecutors in return for the plea.   According to Poundstone's attorney, she will be allowed monitored visitation with her three adopted children until a decision is made in family court.
