Comedian Nate Bargatze describes what he does for a living as “saying dumb stuff in front of large groups.” And he’s very good at it.
On this bonus episode of The Last Laugh podcast, Bargatze talks about making the jump from Netflix to Amazon for his latest special Hello World, which premieres on Jan. 31 and finds him grappling with the everyday challenges of parenthood and middle age as only he can. We also get into the pros and cons of being a “clean” comedian, the one joke that caused a sex worker to call him out for being insensitive, and his biggest comedy goals moving forward.
When I point out to Bargatze that he’s the first three-time guest on The Last Laugh, he replies, “I love that. Record-breaking, that’s all I’m going for.” He’s just returned home to Nashville after flying to New York to appear on The Tonight Show, where he has now officially graduated from doing five-minute stand-up spots to sitting on the couch next to host Jimmy Fallon.
