Bargatze has been considered a “rising star” in the comedy world, breaking through as part of Netflix’s “The Standups” in 2017. His 2021 special “The Greatest Average American” was nominated for a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. His latest one-hour special, “Nate Bargatze: Hello World,” set a 28-day record as the Amazon’s most-streamed original comedy special.
Bargatze has also made several appearances on late-night shows, including appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and “Conan.” He hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live” last fall.
The Tennessee native also hosts a podcast called “Nateland” that releases episodes each Wednesday on YouTube and other podcast platforms.
The comedian had stopped in Michigan earlier on his tour, performing two shows at the Kalamazoo State Theatre in April 2023.
Tickets for the June 5 show go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through the Van Andel Arena box office. Limited tickets still remain for the June 14 performance.
