Biography

Papa grew up in New Jersey and first realized he wanted to be a comedian when he heard Steve Martin's comedy album, "Let's Get Small". Comedy became an addiction for Tom. He perfected his act by performing in clubs throughout New York City.

After about four years, Papa got his first big break. He was given a half-hour special for Comedy Central and was hand-picked by well-known comedian Jerry Seinfeld as an opening act on his tour which is still touring today.

Papa lives in New York and Los Angeles with his wife and family.
