I was in Helena on Friday for the radio show, and then went straight to the capitol for the March for Life...then it was off to the wrestling tournament in Missoula.

We were in Missoula for Nate Bargatze's comedy show Saturday night. If you have tickets for Sunday nights show in Billings- you are in for an INCREDIBLE show all around. The entire lineup along with the emcee were great. And just in case you guys were wondering- I did my own laundry to get ready for the big show. (Looks like some tickets may still be available on the Metra website anyway)

Cool sidebar: apparently Nate's appearance in Missoula last night was his first ever show in Montana...and Montana is officially the last of the 50 states that he has performed in. When Bargatze made the announcement, one guy shouted out- "The Last Best Place!"

My wife and I love watching Nate Bargatze's comedy. Every reel that catches my big dumb eyes on social media I have to stop and watch. There was a couple of his jokes Saturday night that I think I may have spotted on social media, but other than that I think I was laughing constantly for over an hour of his new material. I was laughing non stop for all of the intro acts too that I worried I was embarrassing my family and annoying the people sitting around me.

For those who aren't familiar with Nate Bargatze, here's what the Metra in Billings put out once it was announced that his show tour was coming to Montana:

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.

 

You can watch his comedy specials on Netflix, and he even has a movie coming out soon. "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."
