Tom Papa: Grateful Bread Tour
With over 20 years in comedy, Tom Papa is a celebrated comedian, actor, author, and host. Known for his Netflix specials, books, and podcast Breaking Bread, he’s a master of humor and storytelling.
Papa has had six highly rated stand-up specials including his most recent Netflix stand-up special, Home Free, which premiered on October 29. Filmed at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., Papa 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. Papa has seen a lot over the years, from close calls with a 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.
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. Every mistake has already been made, and this should bring us great comfort as we join together in our fight for survival, or at least in our attempt to get through the day. Whether we like it or not, we’re all in this together.
In 2020, he released his second book, You’re Doing Great! – And Other Reasons To Stay Alive, which was the follow-up to Your Dad Stole My Rake: And Other Family Dilemmas both released by St Martin’s Press, making “Summer Must Read” lists from Parade Magazine to The New York Post. Tom is also a contributing writer to the New Yorker.
