Dystopia Tonight With John Poveromo

Tom Papa is the most effortlessly positive comedian I've ever seen. Nothing is more evident of that than his last special "Tom Papa: You're Doing Great." 

Talking to him for an hour on my show was no different. Easy going, and super funny, we talk about his early days in stand-up, hanging with Greg Giraldo and Jim Gaffigan, his love of bread making and calling out faux celeb bread makers, the Jersey Shore in the summer, the pandemic, and what advice he'd give to his younger self. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for listening. If you can please remember to like, subscribe, and review the podcast to help keep us going!
