by Robbase6 on 1/16/13Cobb's Comedy Club - San FranciscoI thought Tom Papa was hilarious before the show. I like him even better now. The group of 4 that I was with were laughing pretty much the entire time. The opening comedian was good also, though I can't remember his name.
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 1/16/13Cobb's Comedy Club - San Francisco Can't believe this is the first time I've seen Tom Papa in stand-up. He was fantastic - such a professional. He had control of the entire room the instant he came on stage - and created an intimate club experience. Very funny and interesting - found myself still laughing as the next bits kept coming.

by MarkfromBezerkly on 1/15/13Cobb's Comedy Club - San FranciscoGood show if you have a group or limited on choices. The other comedians were not the greatest and was a little slow until Tom Papa took over. As soon as he started the entire place lit up. Doormen are rude and the seating is a little cramped, but the waitresses are super nice (and attractive:) and serve good drinks. PROS: Tom Pappa Waitresses Nice theater setting CONS: Rude doormen Cramped seating Average opening comedians

by Mam52 on 1/31/12Wilbur Theatre - BostonExcellent show! Laughed so hard I was crying. Surpassed our expectations and was something different to do on a Saturday night! The opener comedian was great too!

by Lou1029 on 1/30/12Wilbur Theatre - BostonIt was a good show once Tom Papa finally came on. It started at least 15 minutes late and the warm-up left quite a bit to be desired. We did enjoy Tom Papa since we went to see him because he was always Jerry Seinfeld's warm up and we always looked forward to him. I thought, perhaps, he would have come out for an encore, but he walked off the stage never to be seen again. Would I see him again....probably. I hope he builds his following up a bit since the Wilbur was a bit empty. Too bad since people did miss a good show.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Tom Papa is one of the greats!
by opinz on 1/30/12Wilbur Theatre - BostonWe saw Tom Papa at the Wilbur Theater on January 28th. He is brilliant! I attend a lot of comedy shows, and I'm a tough audience, but I laughed so hard and so long during this show that I felt like I had worked out at the gym for an hour. He has intelligent but very relatable wit, and he's also very quick when he riffs with the audience. He has a natural delivery with a sharp wit, and he's really likable. I will make it a point to see Tom Papa every time he's in the area. Great, great show!

Rating: 4 out of 5 Tom Papa good. Graig Murphy just as good!
by Gio1 on 1/30/12Wilbur Theatre - BostonThis was my first time seeing Tom Papa live and found his comedy pretty good! Good rapport with the audience and content was good. Opener Graig Murphy was terrific! He might be just as good. A longer set might tell.
Rating: 5 out of 5by PDel1970 on 1/30/12Wilbur Theatre - Boston I have not laughed that hard in a very long time. Tom Papa was non stop laughs with most of his jokes about being a parent/father/dude in his 40's.

Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 1/30/12Wilbur Theatre - Boston My fiance and I saw the last few minutes of a Tom Papa Comedy Central special on TV and both laughed hysterically. I immediately googled him to see when he would be touring again. We booked this event and were not disappointed. The end of his skit was pretty identical to the comedy central bit but since we hadn't seen the beginning it felt new to us. Very Funny , Very Relate-able.

by AaroninBoston on 1/30/12Wilbur Theatre - BostonI wasn't expecting a lot after seeing Tom not do so hot on Conan. I was pleasantly surprised though as you watch Tom more and more his humor wears on you and he gets more likeable throughout the show. When the show was over I didn't want it to end. Usually by the end of a comic's set (especially when it is 60 mins+ , like Tom's was) I am ready to call it a night. Tom does a lot of relationship humor and does a decent amount of interaction with the audience. We found his jokes to be very insightful. His presentation is excellent which helps make him a great comic. Most of his humor is PG-13, with a little bit bordering on R. Another reason why he is one a kind. Go see Tom Papa, you will not be disappointed!
