Comedian, Writer And Bread Aficionado Tom Papa Visits Boise

Instagram

Tom Papa’s resume is longer than a foot-long roll. He’s the head writer for NPR’s Live From Here, an author, has his own television show and is an accomplished baker. Papa came to Boise for a stand-up performance at the Egyptian Theater downtown.

Ahead of his debut at the Egyptian, Papa stopped by Boise State Public Radio. Everything from the thrill of appearing on stage to a crazy character he met in Cleveland to his love of quality bread was discussed. A short version of the interview appeared on air, but click below to hear the full conversation.
