Best of the Bus: Nate Bargatze On Going From Tire Recycler To Touring With Chris Rock
Description
On this episode of Best of the Bus, the boys were joined by Nashville legend and comedian Nate Bargatze — and things get rolling quick.
Nate looks back on some of the questionable jobs he had growing up (including one so bad it ended up on Dirty Jobs). From there, the boys dive into his comedy journey — starting in Chicago before making the leap to New York, grinding through the chaos of thousands of comedians trying to find stage time, and figuring out his voice in one of the toughest comedy scenes in the world.
Nate shares stories about early run-ins with other comics (including getting roasted by Louis CK after a set), how he bounced back, and the advice he now gives younger comedians coming up behind him.
The boys close it out talking about why Nate chose the clean-comedian route, his decision to stop drinking, and — somehow — how good Scientology is at recruiting people.
Nate is truly one of the boys and tells some unreal stories you don’t want to miss.
Enjoy, fellas.
