On this episode of GoodOnePodcast, natebargatze discusses being a southern comedian, not cursing, and the story behind his incredible dead horse joke
Nate Bargatze Photo: Vulture and Getty Images Great jokes — like great jokes — are often about something, like street harassment or parenthood, but a lot of time they are just about the comedian. They are stories that capture everything that is funny and captivating and peculiar about this person onstage. For Nate Bargatze, it’s his joke about seeing a dead horse.
You just end up saying words differently. Sometimes, I don’t know what words you’re supposed to say. So whatever comes out first is just the one I’ll end up going with, and then if it works and I just keep saying it that way. I say “real good” a lot. No one says real good. By not cursing, I’m having to do a word that maybe is longer than a quick curse word. It changes the whole rhythm of that sentence and then it affects the entire way you tell the joke.
Though you started in Chicago and New York, you live in Nashville now. What does it mean to you to be a southern comedian?
