Event Details
With more than 20 years as a stand-up comedian, Tom Papa is one of the top comedic voices in the country, finding success as an actor, host, and author in film, TV, radio, and podcasts, as well as on the live stage.
Tom has 6 highly rated stand-up specials, including his most recent Netflix special, Home Free, which premiered on October 24, 2024. Filmed at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., Tom holds nothing back, as his kids are finally out of the house and it's just him, his wife, and a bunch of animals ready to return to their glory days. Tom has seen a lot over the years, from close calls with pachinko ball to late-night 7-Eleven runs, and he's sharing all his thoughts as he parties on into the next stage of life. Papa's other specials include What A Day!, You're Doing Great!, Human Mule, Freaked Out, and Tom Papa Live in New York City, two of which were directed by Rob Zombie.
He has starred in many fan-favorite films, including Paper Spiders, where he starred opposite Lily Taylor; The Informant opposite Matt Damon; Analyze That opposite Robert DeNiro; and The Haunted World of El Superbeasto opposite Paul Giamatti. He can also be seen alongside Michael Douglas and Matt Damon in the HBO film Behind the Candelabra, which was directed by Steven Soderbergh and won 11 Emmys.
Tom is the host of the weekly podcast, Breaking Bread with Tom Papa, which features Tom and his guest eating, drinking, and celebrating the true meaning of breaking bread with insightful, revealing, and always funny conversations. He also hosts the popular daily Netflix radio show, What A Joke with Papa and Fortune, and the monthly show, Come to Papa Live.
In 2023, Tom released his highly anticipated third book, We're All In This Together...So Make Some Room. The book compiles comedic essays that aim to unite us through our stupidity. His second book, You're Doing Great! - And Other Reasons to Stay Alive, the follow-up to Your Dad Stole My Rake: And Other Family Dilemmas, made "Summer Must Read" lists from Parade Magazine to The New York Post. Tom is also a contributing writer for The New Yorker.
