Even our revered Mark Twain used the deadpan delivery, when he was doing his “lectures”,…. and when the audience would laugh, he’d look hurt,….. like he was serious,….. :)
Love Bargatze and Gary Gulman - they're my two favorite funny men at the moment, yet, on the surface, they couldn't be more different. If you look a little deeper, however, they have a lot in common; truly hilarious routines that look for ways to make us laugh without punching down...or up...or even straight. In fact, sometimes great comedy doesn't need to punch at anything at all to work.
I agree John, Nate B. is the best comedian out there right now. No vulgarity, nothing risqué. It makes you think, just a little. That SNL skit went right to one of their top 10!
Bargatze is wonderful. Dumb humor? We all need it sometimes
I recently attended a comedy show with my grown daughter and son. Yikes, it got uncomfortable.
I love Nate and really respect comedians that can be funny without going into sexually explicit, f-bomb laden rants.
