Tom Papa talks about every day things we can all relate to. He doesn't just tell jokes - he also uses his facial expressions and movements to make each joke funnier.
Tom Papa is one of the best stand-up comedians of our time! He kept me & my family laughing from the second he stepped on the stage to the second he stepped off.
Tom Papa was totally entertaining. He took everyday funny life occurrences and made us laugh for an hour and a half.
One of the rare comics that is awesome, PG rated and amazingly funny. We've seen his performances over and over, highly recommended! With so many comics that are crude and profanity ridden, Tom Papa's comedy is a hilarious, enjoyable show that deals with real issues and gives an individual a break from the pressure of life. That's about as crude as it gets. GREAT JOB!
A terrific show and a great all-around evening out on a Saturday night. Papa has to be one of the best "clean" stand-up comics there is today. It takes more intelligence and a rehearsed delivery to get laughs when you don't use expletives. He is not going to be politically correct, so be prepared for that. I was familiar with some of his lines from a show I saw on cable TV, but his slice-of-life storytelling seems to know no end. Again, a terrific show.
Tom Papa was great!! He was on stage for a very long and his material was fresh and funny!! We laughed the entire night! I would highly recommend him for a fun night out. A bonus for me was that his language was not bad ... just a few minor curse words but did say the F word 1 time!! That is refreshing to me!
We really enjoyed Tom Papa! His stand up routine was about 1 1/2 hours long. He is very funny and had material that we can all relate to in life!
Tom Papa was so funny! He can identify with any age group, hilarious!
It was our 16th anniversary and my wife never went to a comedy club before. It was great having tickets in hand prior and getting seated in the first row. The comedy was excellent from the acts especially Tom Papa! He was funny and we became part of the act and my wife was surprised and embarrassed at the same time but she laughed so much. Surprising for me because she never laughs at comedians :)
Tom Papa is funny, relevant, and keeps it pretty clean. We laughed and laughed and laughed.
Simply put...a fabulous comedian for age 18 up! Thank you for a fabulous show!
Tom Papa is a funny man. I have never been disappointing in his humor. I have seen Tom many times and always new material. The venue was pretty good too.
I wasn't sure what the show would be like but was extremely delighted with it. The show started within 15 minutes of the original plan. The first comic was good and entertaining. He introduced Tom Papa who was immediately funny and kept us laughing for his hour + set. I've seen many of the best comics and Tom is in the top tier. He also didn't use bad language to get laughs. He's a very talented man and we would see him again.
I bought the tickets because my husband loves Tom. Even though we were SURROUNDED by silver haired audience members the show was still enjoyable. We are a minority couple, & our guest are too. Tom Papa speaks about things everyone can relate towards. He needs to be a professor in comedy. It's not about race, penis size, or how old you are. It's about people, being people. TY Tom!!!!
What a show! Exceeded every expectation. Papa was on stage for more than 90 minutes and I would say about 80% of the show was completely ad-libbed. So impressive that he not only kept the attention of the audience for that long but had us in stitches the entire time. New respect for Tom Papa.
Such a great show! I discovered Tom Papa when I saw the marriage ref, the most hilarious show no one ever heard of. I wanted to see him for years and finally got to for my Valentine's present! He's hilarious and I highly recommend seeing him!
Tom Poppa was hilarious! He's got great timing, great material and his dry sarcasm just kills me. His quick wit keeps the crowd on edge and moves the show along nicely even when he's improvising.
Hilarious!!! Tom Papa can put on a great show.The opening acts were also very funny. The show and staff made for a fantastic weekend. Thank you!
Tom Papa is hilarious! I would go again to see him.
Tom Papa is amazing, absolutely hilarious! Would recommend his show to anyone.
