Tom has four hour-long stand-up specials. The latest, “Tom Papa: You’re Doing Great!” was a successful Netflix Original. His other critically acclaimed specials include “Human Mule, Freaked Out” and “Tom Papa Live in New York City,” two of which were directed by Rob Zombie.
He is a regular guest on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. Papa also has his own podcast, “Breaking Bread with Tom Papa” features Papa and his guest for an hour while they eat, drink and enjoy life. Listeners are invited to take a seat at the table as Tom and his guests celebrate the true meaning of breaking bread with insightful, revealing and always funny conversations, the release says.
