Ok folks, some friends and i are at a stand still. When I play tibalt and use his 1st ability for +1 (draw a card, then discard a card at random), am I able to stop the clock / pause time or whatever you want to call it and play the instant card that is drawn? Or would I have to put it with the rest of the cards to discard at random? It doesn't specifically specify that you can't play it so any help would be apppreciated.

It doesn't specifically state that you can't, but magic rules do. The entire ability has to finish happening, or resolving, before you can do anything else. The only other option is to play something in response to the ability used.
As Rinexe stated, you have to perform the entirety of the ability's text before it's finished resolving. You can't do anything with the card you draw until after you've discarded a card at random first.

TLDR; No, you have to discard first.
