Nate Bargatze recently celebrated his 20th year as a successful clean Christian comedian. The 43-year-old comic, who has been dubbed the "nicest man in stand-up" debuted his Amazon Prime Video special "Hello World" last month after rising to fame with two hit Netflix specials, 2019's "The Tennessee Kid" and 2021's Grammy Award-nominated "The Great Average American." In an interview with Fox News Digital, Bargatze explained that he chose a career in clean comedy — a family-friendly genre that is free of swearing, crude material or sexual references — largely because he felt that he couldn't tell dirty jokes in front of his parents. "I think I still feel I will get in trouble," the Nashville native admitted.
He continued, "I'll get in trouble and I will disappoint them. I don't want to disappoint my parents." In addition, Bargatze wanted to set a good example since he was his parents Stephen and Carole's firstborn child.
He explained that he would feel "mortified" and "very uncomfortable" telling dirty jokes in front of them. "I just can't imagine cursing in front of your parents," he said. "Still, even now, I'm 43-years-old and I still just couldn't do that.
So that's how I write. I think I write my comedy to — a lot of it is to make my parents laugh. I want them to be proud and be like, ‘Oh, come watch my son do comedy,’ and not be offended by it.
