With more than 30 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. The comedian has had six highly rated stand-up specials including his most recent Netflix stand-up special, Home Free, which premiered on Oct. 29, 2024. 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. This fall Papa will film his upcoming stand-up special for Netflix.

In 2023, Papa 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. 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. Papa is also a contributing writer to the New Yorker Magazine. Papa is the host of the weekly podcast, “Breaking Bread with Tom Papa,” which features Papa 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” on Sirius XM Channel 93 and the monthly show, “Come To Papa Live” on Channel 94.

Papa has starred in many fan-favorite films including “Paper Spiders” where he stared opposite Lily Taylor, “The Informant” opposite Matt Damon, “Analyze That” opposite Robert DeNiro, and “The Haunted World of El Superbeasto” opposite Paul Giamatti, where Tom played the voice of El Superbeasto. 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.

On TV, Tom hosted the NBC series, The Marriage Ref, which ran for two seasons and had a recurring role opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the CBS series “The New Adventures of Old Christine.”
