TAMPA — Coming off a big year and the success of his 2024 “The Be Funny Tour,” comedian Nate Bargatze announced a 66-date schedule for his 2025 “Big Dumb Eyes World Tour” that includes a show on Friday, Nov. 14, 7 p.m., at Benchmark International Arena, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa.
Tickets start at $39.75. Visit www.ticketmaster.com.
The Grammy nominated comedian, podcaster, director and producer is selling out shows and breaking venue attendance records with more than 1.2 million tickets sold on his 2024 tour. Bargatze is currently the No. 1 earning comedian in the world according to Pollstar’s recent report, and No. 12 in overall live tour tickets sales, putting him in the company of Coldplay, Madonna and U2.
Bargatze recently hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the second time in one year, to rave reviews. He hosted SNL for the first time in 2023, securing high ratings for the program.
Last fall, Bargatze co-produced a holiday variety special with Lorne Michaels. His new book from Grand Central Publishing, “Big Dumb Eyes: Stories From A Simpler Mind,” was published in May.
In 2023, Bargatze broke the attendance record at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The next month, he also broke the record for tickets sold at The Delta Center in Salt Lake City — the highest amount ever sold by a comedian at
the venue. In 2024 he broke 20 total arena records.
Bargatze’s comedy is both clean and relatable, evident in his 13 appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the most appearances by any comedian. He also appeared on Conan four times and has appeared on Seth Meyers and James Corden’s respective late-night shows.
In 2023, Bargatze unveiled Nateland Entertainment, a family friendly content company where he produces standup comedy specials, showcases, sketches, and scripted episodic content for film, television, podcasts, music and more.
