Nate Bargatze: The Greatest Average American

He's got some good lines, and the humor is timely. Clean, too. But: TERRIBLY ANNOYING ersatz laughter from the time he walks on stage. Such obvious, repetitive phony laughs. Didn't finish; too hard to endure the "laughter".

Pretty decent show, Nate's character definitely adds a nice touch to the whole show, good jokes here and there but the first 10 minutes are staged in an awful way where everyone is laughing before he even talks which didn't feel like it was the actual crowd on stage, push through that and it'll get better.

Never heard of this guy and decide to tune in due to the ratings. Glad I did. Very enjoyable hour with dog laughs, and nary a sexual or bodily-function joke. Both my wife and I laughed many times. Will keep my eye on him.

I had high hopes and they were surpassed. I watch a lot of comedy and it's something rare to be surprised by jokes. This is a great showcase of what being actually funny is. I think, especially if you're into stand-up comedy, you might forget what funny is, and start looking for the wrong reason. This is fun, funny, feel good and I didn't ask for it.

I probably would have given this a high score, but I could not take the audience laughter. I had to shut it off after 10 minutes. I don't know if the laughter came from a real live audience, but it sounds exactly like canned laughter. I couldn't concentrate on the comedian because it was so distracting, which is too bad because the comedian seemed pretty funny and I think I would have enjoyed his routine.
