Book Nate Bargatze
Nate Bargatze, the comic and actor, is celebrated for clean, deadpan storytelling delivered in a slow, unhurried drawl. He was the top-grossing stand-up comic of 2024, selling a million tickets across his shows. He won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for Your Friend, Nate Bargatze, one of his two Grammy nominations. Bargatze hosted Saturday Night Live in 2023 and hosted the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2025. His path to the top was a long grind: he started in comedy in 2002, studied briefly at The Second City in Chicago before switching to stand-up at Jim Rauth's Comedy College, and played fill-in sets at Zanies. Inspired by the Jerry Seinfeld documentary Comedian, he moved to New York in 2004, handing out flyers for the Boston Comedy Club in exchange for late-night stage time while working as a dog walker and FedEx driver. His breakout came in 2008 with appearances on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, and he also toured with the USO entertaining American troops overseas. Bargatze delivers relatable, family-friendly laughs that land with every kind of audience.
