On April 22, comedians Tom Papa and Jon Fisch performed at The Paramount in Huntington on Long Island, and they were both superb.
Jon Fisch was able to warm up the stage for Papa with his clever and hilarious opening set that was warm and relatable, which included jokes about family and COVID.
With more than 20 years as a stand-up comedian, Tom Papa is one of the top comedic voices in the country finding success as an author, in film, TV, radio, and podcasts as well as on the live stage.
He recently 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,” making “Summer Must-Read” lists from Parade Magazine to The New York Post. He is also a contributing writer to the New Yorker Magazine.
When he took The Paramount stage, he was greeted with a standing ovation from the Long Island audience. He shared that he flew from Los Angeles this morning to Long Island and this marked his first flight with no mask on, so the first thing he smelled was Long Island.
Papa went on to poke fun at his wife and family members, as well as pugs, and other witty jokes pertaining to the COVID pandemic. Papa had the Long Island audience with him every step of the way, and he is highly recommended seeing live when he comes to town. Along with Jon Fisch, they were both absolutely incredible at The Paramount in Huntington, New York.
