Tom Papa's returning to Netflix at the end of this month with his new comedy special Home Free, his third special overall for the streaming giant following his previous specials What A Day & You're Doing Great. And today, we've got a first look at the upcoming special with a newly released trailer.


In Home Free, "Papa holds nothing back as his kids are finally out of the house and it's just him, his wife and a bunch of animals ready to return to their glory days. Tom has seen a lot over the years from close calls with a pachinko ball to late night 7-Eleven runs and he's sharing all his thoughts as he parties on into the next stage of life."


In the trailer, Papa details his experience dropping off his youngest daughter at college & now embracing the empty nester life. "And they're all gone now, and nobody tells you how hard it's gonna be pretending to be sad" he jokes as he shares his personal relief having a child-free home again.


Papa taped the hour this summer at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., & directing the new hour is Troy Miller, who most recently directed Marlon Wayans' latest special Good Grief on Prime Video & Katt Williams' live special Woke Foke on Netflix as part of this year's Netflix Is A Joke Fest.
