From one of today’s hottest stand-up comedians, Nate Bargatze brings his everyman humor to the page in this hilarious collection of personal stories, opinions, and confessions—now available in paperback!
Nate Bargatze used to be a genius—or so he claims—until the summer after seventh grade when he fell off a cliff and hit his head. Before that, he dreamed of being “an electric engineer, or a doctor that does brain stuff, or a math teacher who teaches the hardest math on earth.” Afterward, he found his calling in stand-up comedy.* Luckily for us, Nate’s loss of genius gave rise to one of today’s top-grossing comedians, breaking attendance and streaming records worldwide.
In his highly anticipated first book, Nate reflects on life as a self-proclaimed “non-genius.” He shares laugh-out-loud stories about his first car (a clunky Mazda named Old Blue), his encounters as a Southerner traveling up North (where people ask if he believes in dinosaurs), and his first apartment (complete with rat roommates). He also dives into his married life misadventures—debating chores, diet choices, and even the definition of “shopping.”
With his signature deadpan humor and subtle wit, Nate tackles big topics like his love for Vandy football and his confusion about the origins of sushi (“How can a California roll come from old-time Japan?”).
BIG DUMB EYES is heartfelt, hilarious, and relatable—it’ll make you laugh out loud, nod in agreement, and appreciate the absurdity of everyday life.
*Nate’s family disputes this entire story.
