So, the other day, I was trying to figure out what this comedian Nate Bargatze’s deal was with politics. I mean, I’ve seen his stand-up, and he’s hilarious, but he never really dives into the political stuff. So, I went on a little internet deep dive.
First, I watched a bunch of his stand-up specials. Like, I binged them. He’s got this whole “clean comedian” vibe, you know? No cussing, no dirty jokes, just good, wholesome humor about everyday life. He talks about his family, growing up in Nashville, just regular stuff. Definitely no mention of who he voted for or anything like that.
Then, I started digging through articles and interviews. I read a few pieces where people were talking about how refreshing it is that he doesn’t get into the whole political mess. Apparently, he wants his comedy to be something everyone can enjoy, no matter what their political beliefs are. He even said somewhere that he aims for a PG rating, maybe PG-13 if someone can talk him into it. It’s like, he wants to be the Switzerland of comedy!
Found some stuff about his personal life too. Seems like a pretty normal dude. He’s from Tennessee, married, got a kid. Nothing too wild or controversial there. I did notice that a few people on reddit and other social media discussing his clean style.
- Some folks say he’s doing it on purpose, that he sees a gap in the comedy world for that kind of humor, which makes sense.
- Others were just happy to have a comedian they can watch with their kids without worrying about what he might say.
I even stumbled upon his podcast, “Nateland.” He talks about his comedy philosophy there, and it all seems to line up. He’s all about being relatable and avoiding stuff that might alienate people. He calls himself a clean comedian on purpose and that it is a conscious decision.
So, after all this digging, here’s what I figured out about Nate Bargatze and politics: He just doesn’t go there. He’s carved out this niche for himself as a clean, non-controversial comedian, and it’s clearly working for him. He’s like the comfort food of comedy—no matter what’s going on in the world, you can always count on him for a good, clean laugh.
