This 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.
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.
Tom was great, he mixed in several new bits that was not on his current album.
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.
Vary funny and entertaining. Great with the audience.
Been to a few comedy shows and I enjoyed Tom Papa's the best. I went with friends and we all loved him he made us all laugh so hard will see him again when he comes to town.
I 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!
Tom Papa was really funny. Great material and handles the crowd well. I'd definitely come out and see him again the next time he's around.
Just a great show ! The opening act was very funny as well.
Tom Papa was his usual funny self-- very laid back and natural on stage. He did a good mix of some stuff that I had already seen on his Comedy Central special as well as some bits I haven't heard from him before. There was an 11 year old kid in the front row and he had a blast running jokes about him being out late and how the kid's grandfather was falling asleep right next to him. The local comedian who opened for him was also quite funny- mixing in some general humor with more local topics.
