Nate Bargatze has sold more tickets than any stand-up comedian in history.
Guinness World Records presented him with the certificate onstage at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Aug. 15. Ahead of the show, his “Big Dumb Eyes” world tour had sold approximately 2,016,254 tickets, passing the 1,981,720 Jeff Dunham sold on his “Spark of Insanity” tour.
He does all of it without cursing.
“It’s the internet,” Bargatze told RELEVANT. “There are no restrictions anymore, so if you’re getting into comedy — or anything, really — there’s probably going to be a lot of cursing in the mix. Everybody can do whatever they want, but there aren’t many outlets where people can watch something and trust they won’t have a weird conversation with their kid later — or feel awkward watching it with their parents.”
“That’s why I do what I do,” he said. “I want you to be able to sit there with your family and have fun and not be worried. I’m just trying to entertain you. I’m trying to give you a break. Everybody has stressful lives, and you really need an outlet — and I can be that for you.”
