This was my first look at Tom Papa, and although he wasn't bust a gut funny, I do appreciate the poignant observations about everyday life that he characterizes in a humorous way. His main schtick in this comedy special was informing the audience that they were as good as they were ever going to get, and for all intents and purposes, that was great, hence the title of the show. I could see how some folks might get turned off by that message, but he massages it to the point that you don't consider it a downer. Filmed in New Jersey before a home town crowd, this didn't appear to be done in a major venue, as the audience is shown in a socially distanced setting at tables set the way they might be in a night club. The release date suggests it might have gotten in just under the pre-Covid wire but I'm just guessing. If you've had it with all the outrageous stand-ups throwing four letter words around in every sentence, you might give this guy a try. You'll be doing great.
