From one of the hottest stand-up comedians, Nate Bargatze brings his everyman comedy to the page in this hilarious collection of personal stories, opinions, and confessions.Â
Nate Bargatze used to be a genius. That is, until the summer after seventh grade when he slipped, fell off a cliff, hit his head on a rock, and âmy skull got, like, dented or something.â Before this accident, he dreamed of being âan electric engineer, or a doctor that does brain stuff, or a math teacher who teaches the hardest math on earth.â Afterwards, all he could do was stand-up comedy.* But the âbrain stuffâ industryâs loss is everyone elseâs gain because Nate went on to become one of todayâs top-grossing comedians, breaking both attendance and streaming records.Â
In his highly anticipated first book, Nate talks about life as a non-genius. From stories about his first car (named Old Blue, a clunky Mazda with a tennis ball stick shift) and his travels as a Southerner (Northerners like to ask if he believes in dinosaurs), to tales of his first apartment where he was almost devoured by rats and his many debates with his wife over his chores, his diet, and even his definition of âshopping.â He also reflects on such heady topics as his irrational passion for Vandy football and the mysterious origins of sushi (how can a California roll come from old-time Japan?).Â
BIG DUMB EYES is full of heart. It will make readers laugh out loud and nod in recognition, but it probably wonât make them think too much.
*Nateâs family disputes this entire story.Â
