For the Love of Funny: Tom Papa

About this sermon

We’re knee-deep in our “For the Love of Funny” series, celebrating all things hilarious and witty. Jen’s been a long-time fan and amateur participant in the world of comedy, and our guest today explores one of her tip-top favorite genres of comedy. He's a master of observational humor, turning even the most mundane moments of life into pure comedy gold. Our guest, Tom Papa, is not just a comedian—he's a whirlwind of talent with a remarkable career spanning two decades. From his uproarious Netflix specials "What A Day" and "You're Doing Great," to his writing and stand-up projects in comedy clubs and for shows like NPR’s "Live From Here," to his acting roles, Tom has done it all. He and Jen discuss the common theme of mining gold from your family to create some of your best comedy material (but avoiding presenting that said material to them, because family can be brutal critics). They also discuss Tom’s new passion–baking, and how between writing, doing comedy and various shows, he’s in the kitchen tending to all the processes involved with producing amazing bread and other baked goods. To that end, Tom also hosts his own podcast called "Breaking Bread with Tom Papa," where he invites guests for lively discussions over meals. Like a lot of comedians, Tom is more than just funny—he's a thoughtful, insightful individual who gives you something to think about between all the laughs. * * * Thank you to our sponsors! ➤ Jen Hatmaker BookClub | Visit https://jenhatmakerbookclub.com and use code READ at checkout $5 off your purchase! ➤ ABLE | Visit https://www.ableclothing.com/ and use code JEN to save at checkout ➤ BetterHelp | Visit https://betterhelp.com/forthelove to save 10% on your first month! #ForTheLove #ForTheLovePodcast #JenHatmaker _________ CHECK OUT Resources Mentioned in This Episode: ➤ The Comedy Store - https://thecomedystore.com/ ➤ Comedy Cellar - https://www.comedycellar.com/ ➤ Gary Gulman - https://garygulman.com/ ➤ Ryan Hamilton - https://www.ryanhamiltonlive.com/ ➤ Maria Bamford - https://www.mariabamford.com/ ➤ Colin Quinn - https://colinquinn.com/ ➤ Mateo Lane - https://matteolanecomedy.com/ ➤ Ali Wong - https://www.aliwong.com/ ➤ Live From Here - https://www.livefromhere.org/people/tom-papa/ ➤ A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor - https://www.prairiehome.org/ ➤ Come to Papa - https://lostmediawiki.com/Come_to_Papa_(partially_found_NBC_sitcom;_2004) ➤ Chris Thile - https://www.christhile.com/ ➤ The Fitzgerald Theater - https://first-avenue.com/venue/the-fitzgerald-theater/ ➤ Daily Rituals by Mason Currey - https://www.masoncurrey.com/daily-rituals ➤ Getting Baked with Tom Papa // The Best Italian Ciambella Ever! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMpSVaHDK2I ➤ Getting Baked with Tom Papa // How To Start Baking Sourdough - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w05ce5aKr-0 CONNECT with Our Guest! ➤ Website: https://tompapa.com/ ➤ Facebook: http://facebook.com/comediantompapa ➤ Instagram: http://instagram.com/tompapa ➤ Twitter: http://twitter.com/tompapa ➤ YouTube :https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzOidAJzuiZ8GnVxie-C-sw ___ ➤ JEN HATMAKER BOOK CLUB - Join the sisterhood! https://jenhatmakerbookclub.com ___ WATCH more videos from Jen: ➤ For the Love of Small Wins series: https://bit.ly/FTLsmallwins ➤ For the Love of The Enneagram series: https://bit.ly/FTLenneagram ➤ Happy Hour: http://bit.ly/JensHappyHour ➤ Monday Mornings with Jen: http://bit.ly/MondayMorningsJen ___ CONNECT with Jen! ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenhatmaker ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ ➤ LIKE Jen on Facebook: https://facebook.com/jenhatmaker ➤ SUBSCRIBE NOW on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker?sub_confirmation=1 ➤ VISIT: http://jenhatmaker.com/ ___ For more “For the Love” . . . ➤ SUBSCRIBE on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastApple ➤ LISTEN on Spotify: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastSpotify ➤ HEAR IT on Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastStitcher ➤ LISTEN on iHeartRadio: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastiHeart
