Nate Bargatze: Hello World

I've heard this dude many times on Sirius FM, but I've never seen him live or on TV for an entire routine. I was pleasantly surprised. Even if every joke wasn't laugh out loud funny, there was a smile on my face the entire time. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments as well. Most good comedians are relatable but this guy is the most relatable I've ever heard. The jokes all come from real stuff, which is always the funniest stuff. It was 100% an added bonus that he doesn't need foul language or risque jokes to be funny. It's so much harder to keep a crowd laughing when you can't resort to the lowest common denominator, or so it seems with most comedians these days.

It's really so much more a display of talent to be able to make people laugh without getting crude. Hey, the crude stuff is also funny, but it's really refreshing when you can watch something like this without having an F bomb constantly thrown at you or having every other joke be about sex. I have actually only ever heard his clips across streaming radio comedy channels. This was my first full stand-up set from him, and from other reviews, I see there's some Netflix material as well. I'm sure several of those are where the clips came from, but I am looking forward to watching those full sets as well.

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.

I had never heard of Nate Bargatze until 2020. I am so glad my wife found clips of him on YouTube and then we found his specials on Netflix. When we heard he was dropping a new special on Amazon Prime, we both got so excited. Nate is extremely talented and is fun for the whole family. Not many stand up comedians can be for the whole family but Nate definitely is. The only negative I would put for this stand up is we wanted more than an hour. If you are reading this and have never seen Nate Bargatze, give him a chance and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Also check out his nateland podcast.

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.
