To anybody unfamiliar with Nate's comedy, please don't be turned off by the "clean" or "family friendly" characterizations. They are true, mind you, but don't take that to mean that his comedy is somehow dumbed down or 'for kids' or something. His comedic style is every bit as clever and 'grown up' as any other comic. He just happens to deliver his jokes in a way in which you won't be blushing if your parents or children also happen to be in the room.

[@djstarsign]

It’s true. Years ago, after I heard him on Maron’s podcast, I got Yelled at by a Clown (his cd) and it was hilarious. I played it for a friend, especially the Davey street bit about the “serial killer”. We were on the verge of tears. It was the first bit I introduced him to. Then I pointed out that he’s a clean comic, which made it more impressive since it’s not something you even notice because the comedy is so strong it doesn’t depend on it. My other favorite bits are being worse off if he time travelled, the John and Jane Doe bit, getting a Transformer for his birthday and the text messages between he and his wife. So glad he’s been getting more popular.

[@BnaBreaker]

@@djstarsign Exactly! That's a damn good point actually... it kind of makes it more impressive that he's able to do that while doing it clean... and yeah, people have this image of a "clean" comic like all his material is about potatoes and jesus, or something. Not true! In this case at least. haha

[@iamkathyjones]

He's hilarious.

[@lightninsal77]

He's so, so funny. Totally love him & I'm cool with rated R, humor, too, but this is kinda even better. My 22 year old loves him as well.

[@sarahflaherty4449]

He's amazing. I had that same observation when I first got into him, like wow, comedy can be clever and doesn't have to always be so vulgar all the time, makes it way more funny and refreshing too ❤🎉

[@billthecat666]

I’m so happy for him. He deserves all of his success. He’s a class act.

[@jjgreen5206]

He’s the opposite of that

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

💯💯💯

[@kathimoore6527]

It’s his delivery that is so darn funny. And his jokes are so clever. He’s one of my favorite comics

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Same!

[@jillgarrison1917]

This morning I saw an old clown picture of Nate's dad. He was the clown/magician at my son's 2nd birthday party in Nashville 1990. Nate is hilarious.

[@miriamgreen3973]

Like a clean Mitch Headberg right?

[@sharonjack8582]

Yes, Nate has a comedic gift. I love it that he is so wholesome. Very funny man.

[@raygreeko]

There’s honestly no need to categorize Nate as “clean” comic. The dude is a killer and you almost don’t realize that his material is “clean” until it’s pointed out. He’s just that good. And honestly it’s epic how much he rose up threw comedy in the past 5 or so years

[@MaidenHelll]

There is nothing wrong with being categorized as clean

[@Beefeater911]

Yea, he was running on flat ground for the first 10 or so years, then just took off like a rocket in the last 5 years. Getting an episode on Netflix “Stand Ups” introduced him to a huge audience, and it all took off from there. I became a huge fan of him a year, or to before that, when I would heart him on Pandora. I was so excited when I first heard he was going to be on Stand Ups!

[@IndelibleAndy]

This is perfectly said. Nate is fresh and original. When I first heard him I had no preconceived opinion. Watched him on Netflix I think, and I absolutely adored it. I started to notice halfway through the show, that he didn't "swear" and he certainly wasn't another "dick-joke-comedian".

[@jenblied9193]

100%. He is a talented comedian, period.

[@petermello55]

Yeah, I kind of just realized the same thing. It’s more he doesn’t need to.

[@shanemontgomery8846]

…you’re pronouncing his name wrong… maybe… or not, idk… he doesn’t know… nobody knows… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AleahKCH]

Lol did you leave the vowel out on purpose? 😂

[@jjgreen5206]

Nate only talks about his family, and gives long, drawn out stories about himself and his childhood. He is the opposite of funny. He’s likely on the spectrum and if challenged he unravels

[@imamiddleagedgoofygoober]

​@@jjgreen5206you should listen to some stuff off 'full time magic'

[@davidshepack2484]

Nate's delivery is such a pleasant blend of sincerity, relatability, sarcasm, dryness, niceness...I never realized he was clean.

[@candacesmith8254]

I love his comedy. It's lighthearted, his delivery is everything, and it's not mean spirited.

[@jjgreen5206]

It’s all about him. Have you not picked up on that? He’s so inexperienced and arrogant his humor is childish and about him and his family.

[@dennischiapello3879]

He’s usually the butt of his own jokes.

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Are you daft? They’re jokes. He’s smart and rich and makes bank living in Nashville @@jjgreen5206

[@tiffinid8961]

I watch Nate's specials over and over because his delivery is so on point, I know the lines but I still laugh. I'm a bit of a comedy snob and I like who I like, and man, I really love Nate. He seems like a really good, down to earth guy. Don't change Nate, you're right where you need to be.

[@triciamack7758]

I watch Nate whenever I have the chance because he is so entertaining. You can hear the same jokes repeatedly because his delivery is so excellent. He has had a long career, starting in NYC and after he went back to Tennessee he just rocketed. Congrats, Nate. America loves comedic talent and you got it!

[@robyngarfish]

Saw him in FL New Years Eve. My husband and I literally laughed for an hour plus straight. EVERYTHING he said was hysterically funny. EVERYTHING.

[@JimimIsMyJamot7]

I saw him at the Greek Theatre this past August and not only is Nate hilarious but his dad!!! His dad kicked things off and man it was great!! Congrats Nate.

[@charlespatt]

Nate's jokes are like that voice that's been inside my head that I could never hear quite right, but he says it loud and clear.

[@jjgreen5206]

Nate’s jokes are like that person who wants to get the girl so he tries really hard to be funny but isn’t

[@armc2468]

Nate Bargatze always cracks me up endlessly. Love him and glad to see he is doing well for himself.

[@SkyroofNova72]

His clean routine is what makes his comedy standout. It’s worth the watch. Very relatable humor.

[@virginiagroff5191]

The reason he’s so successful is because he’s so clean and it’s so refreshing!!! I’ve often wondered why some comedians think foul language and topics is funny!

[@jbn9029]

"You can watch it with anyone" Exactly 💯

[@madnessbydesign1415]

His standup has real staying power. I've watched many of his clips over and over, and they're still hilarious. I hope he continues to get the success he deserves... :)

[@Atttt381]

Nate is my favorite comedian of all time! One fell swoop routine is hilarious 😂 I think he’s a genius because he’s so relatable

[@Maxbps88]

"I don't think you understand what 'one fell swoop' means." "We have the same last name, I can't have you have you out there in a 'one fell swoop' conversation."

[@Maxbps88]

And the hidden absolute gem of that bit, coming from a child of double divorce, is the line, "They divorced because of her, not me"!!! That is an instant, massive classic that only kids whose parents divorced will truly understand.

[@Atttt381]

@@Maxbps88 absolutely! I’m from a divorced family and my husband is not so he has always had to deal with two or three different households just during our marriage 😂😂😂

[@jjgreen5206]

He’s really lame

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Love it! Wanna go to Starbucks and get the legendary drink? Lol

[@someguyontheinternet2714]

SO happy to see his success. I remember listening to him for the first time 5 or 6 years ago, listening to 'Laughed at by a clown' and what a fantastic record that is. And now he's playing arenas and breaking attendance records. Amazing to see.

[@NotOldGreyWolf]

And just yesterday he found out he’s gonna be hosting SNL. Started following Nate a couple years ago after his dad, who is a magician and comedian, did stuff for my old churches men’s conference. I’ve been able to watch Nate’s rise and all this could not be happening to a better, more humble dude

[@chert2380]

Proof that clean comedy is still great comedy. Stumbled across him in Amazon Prime and thoroughly loved his show.

[@amymiller8964]

He is the funniest current comedian. My stomach hurts after watching him and I’m crying from laughing. Even thou he’s a “clean” comic he’s worth a watch.

[@cinedd4783]

I absolutely cannot get enough of this man's comedy. Ever since the 1st time I watched him, I was completely enamored. His delivery is unmatched (in my opinion) to anyone else out there today. Anyone who's not seen his stand-up, please do yourselves a BIG favor and seek some out now. Laughter is the best medicine and this gentleman knows how to deliver. Bless you Nate, keep up the GREAT work.

[@chrissiebawn9357]

Nate? You ALWAYS make me smile! 😀 Thank you for being you. 🙏❤🕊🌍😀 I just wanted you to know that .🖖

[@MamboKing215]

Bargatze's comedy is sarcasm w/ genuine sincerity; hilariously put together

[@jjgreen5206]

No it’s narcissism mixed with nihilism and he doesn’t even reach sarcasm. I’m not sure he could even define what sarcasm means

[@MamboKing215]

@@jjgreen5206 Huh? He's the epitome of dry sarcasm; most of his bits involve a mockery of experiences where he felt ridiculed & turned them into his routine (common among their profession). He does show shades of nihilism by being over-it-all. If you feel he wouldn't be able to define sarcasm, then his humor is victorious.

[@wuguay5526]

@@MamboKing215I think this jjgreen guy has some personal resentment towards Nate as he writes sooooo many anti Nate comments everywhere.

[@russellandrews4999]

Finally a comedian the entire family can watch and enjoy together! He is too funny!😂

[@Steves_view]

I first saw Nate 2019 and instantly loved him. He was playing locally in 2020. I got tickets in January for a April show. Unfortunately Covid got in the way I watched his specials everything over and over and overall through Covid and then in April 2022, my original tickets were honored. my tickets were VIP tickets where I could meet him after I did this in the beginning because he was not this famous and I thought it would be fun to meet someone on their way up. After the concert I met him just to tell him thank you for making me laugh all through Covid. I have to tell you he’s as nice as you think he is he was so much fun regular person I wasn’t asking for an autograph or anything and he says, come on take a picture with me and he hugs me because he was so happy that I was happy that he made me happy. He’s special.

[@nancyzimmerman7740]

I just found Nate about a year ago and can’t get enough of this thoughtful, extremely funny guy. My dad was from Nashville which drew me to him- his humor has me watching over and over again, awaiting new material. Congratulations on a fantastic monologue and the great performances in the skits from Saturday Night Live. I’m a fan for life. ♥️

[@heartnsoul9093]

I love Nate ! He's hilarious! I love his stories, like he's just a story teller, but a comedy genius storyteller!

Just saw Nate in SLC. Family friendly, hilarious, clean. What a concept. Thanks Nate!!

[@coconut5818]

I’m so excited how his career has taken off. I’ve been listening to him for about 5 years and I couldn’t believe he wasn’t well known then. He had had me with the snake bite joke and ever since then I’ve been a fan 🤩

[@PursuingHeaven]

I adore his comedy-he is clean, keeps things real, doesn't have to go political and he loves his family and just jokes about real life. I want MORE like this, but I watch EVERYTHING that Nate does. I hope he can continue for a very long time.

[@marcdowns8347]

It's all about real life and just so easy to relate to. You can see yourself or your family in every joke.

Nate Bargatze deserves all this recognition. I’ve been a fan for years. And although I don’t need a comedian to be clean to enjoy, it’s nice that there’s a comedian I feel comfortable recommending to my mom

[@idiotsloveboxes]

What I notice is how different Jimmy Fallon is around comedians vs non-comedian guests. With big name actors or musicians or politicians, Jimmy is a perfectly fine late night host. But with stand up comics, he seems genuinely enthusiastic & much quicker to laugh & just cheerier. I think he really connects with fellow comics, especially those whose careers are growing. Maybe it’s my imagination.

[@marydillonsalai8985]

Fallon usually is sucking up and laughing too hard at the celebrities. He is so oily. Wait, oil has substance, he is so foamy.

[@Kinsey6King]

His Nateland podcast is also fantastic. He deserves every bit of the success he's earned. I don't mind filthy comics, but there's something super refreshing about someone who can tell a damn funny story without adding curse words as a crtuch. Kinda has a Bob Newhart vibe in his matter-of-fact delivery. 💯% the funniest guy on the planet right now.
