Big Dumb Eyes: Stories from a Simpler Mind by Nate BargatzeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was provided an ALC via Netgally, all opinions are my own.
Nate Bargatze is one of my favorite comics. I love that he practices clean comedy, and his almost deadpan delivery style really speaks to me. I also find him really relatable in the way he tells stories about his life and family. His George Washington skit on SNL about the weights and measures is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, no matter how many times my husband and I watch it we are in tears laughing.
I've never had the pleasure of seeing him live, so this is probably the closest I'll get in the near future but this book had me cracking up. I've seen several of his specials and this brings alot of material I've not heard before or expands on material he's used in shows. I'm a big audiobook listener so this wasn't the most words, and I was able to listen to it in a day while doing chores around the house this weekend. I loved getting to know Nate and his family just like I would in one of his specials but in an expanded way. If you are a fan of his comedic style this biography is filled with his comedic delivery with tales of his community, parents, siblings, friends and wife that you wouldn't normally hear in one of his shows.
I really enjoyed this and look forward to the day I can see Nate live in person. The final audiobook has a PDF with pictures that he describes, but they weren't available with the audio arc. I will be checking out the book once it publishes so I can get the full effect.
