Prepare for a surge of endorphins when stand-up comedian Tom Papa brings his stand-up to the Vilar Performing Arts Center on Jan. 19.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Papa <\/strong>lands at the <strong>Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) <\/strong>on <strong>Sunday, Jan. 19 <\/strong>at <strong>7 p.m.<\/strong> <strong>Tickets are $48. <\/strong>Tickets are available now at the <strong>VPAC box office (970-845-8497; <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vilarpac.org\"><strong>www.vilarpac.org<\/strong><\/a><strong>)<\/strong>.
