Bargatze uses everyday occurrences to fuel his comedy. He makes real-life observations and doesn't use much embellishment. Bargatze is considered a clean comedian because he does not use profanity, but he does often delve into the darker sides of life in his act. He does not venture into politics.
Although Nate Bargatze does not use profane language or much objectionable material in his act, the comedy environment is not often a place for children, and almost all clubs or theaters have a minimum age for entrance. Additionally, the other acts on the bill may not be appropriate for children.
Though Bargatze is a unique performer, there are other comedians that fans of his comedy may enjoy.

Nate Bargatze's comedy style has been influenced by comedic legends
Jerry Seinfeld
and
Bob Newhart
. His deadpan delivery is very reminiscent of Newhart's style. Bargatze's earliest and perhaps biggest influence is his father, Stephen Bargatze. The elder Bargatze was a trained clown who turned into one of the country's best magicians. Nate watched much of his father's work and even began sharing the stage with him at a relatively young age. The two have performed together as adults as well. They entertained audiences as a pair at Las Vegas's
Wynn Encore Theater
in November 2019.
