OT: Nate Bargatze

Nate's dad Stephen has been a friend of mine for 25 years. I watched Nate grow up -- his comedic sense definitely comes from his father, who has always been hysterical. All the magic stuff about his dad that you hear in Nate's comedy is real.
Stephen often opens for his son -- if he performed in Tupelo, you saw one of my best friends in magic.
One of the funniest things he talked about was his dad doing a magic show at a fair next to where they had donkeys diving into a pool. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
To add:
When he was still an up and comer, he was the opener in Hattiesburg for Tig Notaro at Laughs for Life. That was my first exposure to him and he had us rolling in his 15 minute set.
He then came back and was the headliner in 2021. I didnt get to go that year.
The main reason I'm mentioning that is to say this. If you're into comedy, you need to keep up with Laughs for Life in Hattiesburg and support it and go, if possible. They have had some great comedians come in since they began and it raises money for a great cause.

If anyone who likes him hasn’t, check out his Nateland podcast. It’s very entertaining.
Hey Bear!
The funniest episode I've heard so far was when Greg Warren was on talking about working for Jiff. I was in tears.
Is he walking from Jackson to tupelo or just stopping in every spot along the drive? If so, when will he perform in noxapater?
I saw him in Hattiesburg opening for the tig notaro chick. He was much better than she was. Her act was awful until she started engaging with a man in the front. He killed it though.
While true, you also have to know that that is Tig’s schtick. Very dry and can be great but can definitely miss.
She’s from Mississippi though and I will always support her for that. Shes a good actress and writer too
