My lady and I thoroughly enjoyed the two Tom Papa stand-up specials on NF

If y'all haven't watched Tom Papa's comedy specials on Netflix, you definitely should. The dude is hilarious. They're called 'You're Doing Great' (2020) and 'What a Day!' (2022).

He's like Gaffigan in that he's funny with just normal observations, it's all super-clean, like you could watch with your grandma pretty much.

But still hilarious. Hadn't heard of him before, now I'm a big fan

1. Yep, I've seen both, great shows.

Edit to add: Other clean comedians' shows I like are Ryan Hamilton's Happy Face and anything by Nate Bargatze. And John Mulaney of course.

2. Oh, we love John Mulaney too! He's not quite as clean as Tom Papa

But it's not too over the top. We thoroughly enjoyed his shows too.

It's not like we only like comedy that's inoffensive, we aren't uptight at all, but it's fun when people can pull it off without it.

I'll put Happy Face and Nate Bargatze in the queue, thanks!

3. Mulaney's latest was edgy without feeling Edgelord

His frankness talking about his addictions was great.

5. Agree, it was just making jokes outta some very real shit

Hell, I don't even wanna tell ya how well I knew it was real

11. Mulaney is my favorite active comedian these days...

His humor is most like my own.

Gaffigan, Seinfeld and Bargatze are really good, too. Almost as good as Kathleen Madigan!

I have a guilty pleasure comedian. Were I to disclose him here, I'd probably have my account canceled! Really funny; he just has a few misogynistic bits. I listen to him only in my own company!

4. I discovered Tom Papa on Chris Thile's Live From Here

He did a "Traveling America" monologue every episode. They were hilarious.
That whole show was great - much better than Prairie Home Companion in it's later years.

6. Tom Papa has been a host and guest on NPRs Wait! Wait! Don't tell me.

The news/comedy show on weekends.

He's good.

7. I've met Tom Papa and he's brilliant

He comes up with jokes on the fly. I don't know how comedians do it. They just have different brains, and can see the humor in every situation.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. You can tell that in the You're Doing Great special when he interacts with audience members

And comes up with really funny impromptu stuff. Definitely a special talent.

I'm sure I'd love to hang out with that guy.

9. Seeing him in person soon! n/t

10. We saw him last fall and really enjoyed it.
