Comedian Nate Bargatze — a Titans fan — playing 2 sold-out shows in Jacksonville

There's one thing you really ought to know about comedian Nate Bargatze before you head out to one of his sold-out shows in Jacksonville.

He's a Tennessee Titans fan.

To be fair, Bargatze comes by his fandom honestly, being a Nashville native. Last month, one of his shows in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena drew 19,365 fans, a record for the venue.

What kind of comedy does Nate Bargatze do?

Bargatze stands out from the crowd of stand-up comics by keeping his shows clean, which he credits to his Christian upbringing. He's more of a storyteller than a joke-teller.

Where do I know Nate Bargatze from?

Bargatze's televised stand-up shows are largely responsible for his popularity. "Full Time Magic" came out on Comedy Central in 2015, followed by an episode of "The Stand-ups" on Netflix in 2017, "The Tennessee Kid" on Netflix in 2019, "The Greatest Average American" on Netflix in 2021 and "Hello World" on Prime Video earlier this year. He's also a regular on "The Tonight Show" and has performed for troops in Iraq and Kuwait.

Where else can I see Nate Bargatze?

Bargatze has almost no time off this year — he has 66 dates booked in 2023 after the Jacksonville shows. His Be Funny Tour takes him to Australia, the Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado, the Greek Theater in Los Angeles and Radio City Music Hall in New York. He doesn't return to Florida until a December date in Tampa, but he has Georgia dates in Savannah, Atlanta and Evans later this year.
