It’s hard being a person, especially in a family, and no one knows that better than stand-up comedian, family man, and Live from Here head writer and performer, Tom Papa.

How do you deal with a life filled with a whole host of characters and their bizarre, inescapable behavior? Especially when you’re related to them? Tom Papa is here to help you make sense of it all. Your Dad Stole My Rake is a hilarious and warm audiobook that saws deep into every branch of the family tree and uncovers the most bizarre and surprisingly meaningful aspects of our lives. He exposes everyone, from crazy aunts with mustaches, grandparents who communicate by yelling, and uncles who use marijuana as a condiment.

Critic reviews

"I have been a close friend of Tom Papa for 17 years. His lack of ability to perceive even the most basic principles of human functioning have made him an invaluable asset to me as a friend and colleague.... I would definitely recommend whatever the name of this book is, because I know it comes from a place of pure nonsense without any knowledge of anything. He is really one of my favorite people." (Jerry Seinfeld, comedian and author of SeinLanguage)

"Finally a funny book about parenting. Great observations. Great writing. Actually funny. I've always known Tom was hysterical, now I know he is a great writer and a fantastic storyteller. Can Tom Papa write all books?" (Jim Gaffigan, comedian and author of Dad Is Fat)

"Papa's warm tone and varied timing will draw listeners into the book and enable them to see that, as is the case with most good comedy, there's truth that supports the jokes." (AudioFile Magazine)

After listening to Tom on Joe Rogan’s podcast (of which I have to use earbuds) I decided to give this book a go. I’ve been rather low in mood as of late and this had me laughing aloud repeatedly. I was also able to listen to it in front of my 7 & 14 year old while cooking. Mr.Papa is a charming and “normal” type personality that had tears rolling down my cheeks from laughter. I loved it and even listened to it a second time so I made sure I caught all of his jokes. Many thanks to the author. As an aside, I listen to a lot of books and podcasts every month and this stands out among supposed “all stars”.

I loved listening to this book. Hearing Tom Papa's voices and inflections made the stories all the more funny! His stories aren't just funny, but they are at time very wise and sweet. Have fun listening to this book and eat some bread!

As a fan of Tom Papa, I was excited to learn about this book. In a way, its like hours of a comedy routine. Tom papa does an excellent narration. On a deeper level, his story is sure to connect to many families, and make you reflect on your own parents, siblings and life.

funny, yet reflective of papa life, and ones own.

This book as well as his others are treasures! I first saw Tom Papa on his comedy special ‘Human Mule’ which left me literally in tears laughing and gasping for breath! His wit, his humor and moments of self debasement will leave you rolling. It’s just so wonderful to laugh, I had forgotten. Tom Papa is well worth the credit!
