Not many standups get the opportunity to appear in a prestige picture with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas, but Tom Papa did just that in 2013 with his supporting role in Behind the Candelabra. But Papa’s experience with the serious hasn’t affected his humor — his “clean but cutting” wit has never been sharper, and there’s a reason he got his break as Jerry Seinfeld’s handpicked opener. With Mike Stanley, Reena Calm. ALSO: Saturday, Dec. 12, 8 & 10:30 pm.
