Paul Thomas is one of those people.  We worked together in the same office for awhile and I have some great memories from that time.  He had to move on (just too big for the room) and went to Chicago to craft his comedy.  Self-described as a &#8220;jackass of all comedy trades,&#8221; Paul&#8217;s resume is full of a variety of performances.  When I think of him, I think funny.  But it&#8217;s not white bread funny.  For me, Paul dances on the edge of cringe comedy.  He&#8217;s provocative, while he retains his Midwestern soul.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nCheck out the video below with Paul on piano (Alert: men in underwear) and here are Paul&#8217;s links, including his new band, Lola Balatro.
