Hailed as “The Nicest Man in Stand-Up,” by The Atlantic Magazine, and “One of the Funniest People,” by CBS Mornings, Grammy & Emmy-nominated comedian, NY Times #1 bestselling author, podcaster, director and producer Nate Bargatze is selling out shows and breaking venue attendance records with more than 1.2 million tickets sold in 2024. He is currently the #1 earning comedian in the world according to Pollstar’s recent report, and #12 in overall live tour tickets sales, putting him in the company of Coldplay, Madonna and U2. Billboard recently announced that Bargatze set a new record for the biggest one-year gross by a comedy performer in history. He is currently on his 2025 Big Dumb Eyes World Tour and continuing to break venue attendance and ticket records. Most recently, Nate will be hosting the Primetime Emmy Awards on September 14th on CBS. Bargatze recently published his highly anticipated first book, Big Dumb Eyes: Stories From A Simpler Mind, from Grand Central Publishing which instantly became the New York Times #1 best-selling book. It remained on the New York Times Best-Sellers list for 11 weeks. Bargatze hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time last fall, to rave reviews, with Vulture.com asking the question, "Has Nate Bargatze Cracked The SNL code?" Last December, Nate co-produced a holiday variety special, Nate Bargatze’s Nashville Christmas, with Lorne Michaels for CBS. On the silver screen, Bargatze will soon star in the family-friendly comedy, The Breadwinner, for TriStar Pictures which he co-wrote with Dan Lagana. He will also serve as an executive producer. The film will co-star Mandy Moore, Colin Jost, Will Forte, and Kumail Nanjiani and will be directed by Emmy winner Eric Appel. In 2023, Bargatze broke the attendance record at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The next month, he also broke the record for tickets sold at The Delta Center in Salt Lake City – the highest amount ever sold by a comedian at the venue. In 2024 he broke 20 total arena records. He also recently performed two sold-out shows at The Hollywood Bowl with Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan, and Sebastian Maniscalco. Nate’s first solo one-hour Netflix special, The Tennessee Kid, premiered globally with rave reviews in 2019. In 2021, he released his critically acclaimed second Netflix special, The Greatest Average American, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. In 2023, Nate released his third one-hour special, Nate Bargatze: Hello World, on Amazon Prime which now holds the record as Amazon’s most-streamed original comedy special in its first 28 days of viewership. In 2024, it was announced that Bargatze will return to Netflix with a two stand-up special deal. The first of the two specials, Your Friend, Nate Bargatze, premiered globally on Netflix December 24th, 2024, and was in the top 10 most watched shows globally for two weeks. Continuing into spring 2025, it was the most watched standup special on Netflix in the past 52 weeks. His previous Netflix specials, The Tennessee Kid (2019) and The Greatest Average American (2021) were listed at #16 and #14 on the 52-week chart, even though they premiered 6 and 4 years ago, respectively. Bargatze was recently signed to Universal Music Group Nashville as their flagship comedian under their new Capitol Comedy label. Bargatze’s comedy is both clean and relatable, evident in his 15 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the most appearances by any comedian. He also appeared on Conan four times and has appeared on Seth Meyers and James Corden’s respective late-night shows. When he hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time in 2023, he earned rave reviews and secured high ratings for the program, with Vanity Fair calling him, “A Great Saturday Night Live Host,” and Entertainment Weekly exclaiming, “A frighteningly funny Halloween episode.” In 2023, Bargatze unveiled Nateland Entertainment, a family-friendly content company where he produces standup comedy specials, showcases, sketches, and scripted episodic content for film, television, podcasts, music and more.
