Nate Bargatze: Hello World

I saw several of Nate Bargatze's clips on Facebook a few months back so I looked him up. When I found him on Netflix, I watched both specials immediately, and then this special as soon as it released. I love this guy's comedy. I love that his material is so relatable, and Lord help me, I love that it's so wholesome. His bit about birth order is spot on, and it's hilarious.

I came home in a bad mood today and thought, "I bet watching some Nate Bargatze will lighten up my mood" and yup, sure enough, it did. (When I want to sit and stew in it, I watch Tom Segura, but that's a review for another day.)

Usually, when I hear that a comic does clean material, I immediately think it's not going to be very good. That's generally been my experience, unfortunately. But this guy is great.

A lot of comics pretend that they are talking about real life in general, and even theirs specifically. Most of the time, you'd never believe they-or anyone-actually had the experiences they are relating. Bargatze, on the other hand, is telling stories and thoughts that are believable and hit home as true. (With some license and exaggeration, of course.)

So, here we have a rarity: stand-up comedy that is family friendly AND good.

My spouse and I laughed the whole time. I laughed until tears were literally spilling down my face. I love myself some dark and raunchy comedy but this special was refreshing in a way. I think it takes a unique talent to be this funny without being crass or dissecting a current or hot button social issue. I love his delivery, too.

Idk what more I can say about it but apparently i have to in order to be able to submit a review. I do not get how this man is not more famous. I am definitely anticipating future work from him. He is really good at telling a story, descriptive without bogging it down and his timing is impeccable.

After seeing a bunch of clips on instagram I sought this out on Amazon Prime and I thought it was really good indeed!... I thoroughly enjoyed it! Nate is very funny and as a 45 year only family man I found it highly relatable with a good range of stories and anecdotes. I particular loved his stories from his childhood with 1980's references. I really like Nate's delivery style and cadence... it's easy going and methodical and brilliantly deadpan. I do appreciate the fact that it's clean and look forward to showing this to my teenage sons as I know they will find it really funny too. Highly recommended!

Nate Bargatze doesn't yell, shout, or curse - AND, here's something novel: He's actually funny! And SMART about it too!

In the past several month's I have gone through "comics" like cheap toilet paper - tearing them up and tossing them out when they don't work. I will give a comic 5 - 10 minutes to make me smile or laugh out loud - and if they are not funny to me, I stop watching. My time is too important to waste on people who think that by talking LOUDLY or degrading others for what they call humor, that we are going to buy it.

He respects his fans - that's refreshing ('cause I am one).

What is funny as hell, I mean heck, is that his zip code is 37138. Now THAT is funny!

Keep up the great work, Nate!!! We appreciate you!
