"In 37 short essays comedian Tom Papa reminds listeners that life's absurdities are here to stay and that everyone is doing the best they can. His tone and delivery are comforting, heartwarming, even therapeutic."- AudioFile

Stand-up is all well and good, but observational humor that’s funny and warm may work best in books. And Tom Papa, whose loyal audiences are packed with “date night” couples of all ages, has perfected the form. In We're All In This Together, Papa’s thirty-seven short essays tackle these universal American topics, among others:

–Love for Your First Car (“To Buy or Lease”)
–The Truth about Personal Hygiene (“How You Know When It’s Time to Go”)
–Date Nights (“Will You Go Out with Me?”)
–Unfamiliar Hotel Rooms (“Why Nothing Works”)
–Pets (“Cats–Ancient Menace”)
–Drinking (“There’s no Cure for a Hangover”)
–Ducking your Family, even Though you Love Them (“The Lesson of Mark Twain’s Cigars”)

Tom Papa’s books make readers laugh, but–crucially–feel better about themselves while doing it. And while there’s thematic overlap with Papa’s stand-up, with a couple of exceptions, all the writing here is fresh for our book.

Critic reviews

"Tom Papa isn’t just one of our most hilarious comic minds, he is also a big-hearted observer of the human condition. The world would be a much better place if it were filled with nothing but millions of Tom Papa clones. Okay, not clones, I went too far there— but people who are kind of like him!" — Judd Apatow

"I've told you to read Tom's books before, but he just keeps writing more! Either he has something to prove or you just like hearing from me. Thankfully, he's still very funny." — Jim Gaffigan

“Humorous, sympathetic, and humane … Papa’s latest book is sure to appeal to his fans as well as anyone who appreciates understated humor that probes the nature of the human condition.” — Kirkus

Awesome as usual!

I love all things Tom Papa! He’s hilarious, a great story teller and his voice is smooth. He never disappoints!

loved it!

I've been a fan of Tom Papa's stand-up for years and I enjoyed this so much! my only regret? not reading his books sooner. His comedy genius was really meant for this format!

So good

I’m already re-listening to it. Equal parts humor, common sense, and observations that we all miss. Best of all is Tom’s soothing tone.

Funny

TomPapa narrated his book very good. It was laugh out loud funny at times and entertaining through the whole book.

Thank you Tom

“We’re All in This Together” is quintessential Tom Papa. The content is fun and thoughtful and so poignant. Tom is a wonderful storyteller, and this collection of stories, narrated by the author has left me feeling significant in my ordinariness, like we are, indeed, all in this together.
Thank you Tom!
