Nate Bargatze was 2024 ’s most successful comedian, earning nearly $80 million in ticket sales.

He scored a viral “ Saturday Night Live ” sketch at a time when the NBC showcase rarely rocks the zeitgeist.

His self-effacing shtick scores with fans, and he's never more self-critical than when he describes his marriage.

His gentle brand of humor is just what we needed in troubled times.

Bargatze has been waiting to make his big-screen closeup on his terms.

He recently signed up to star and co-produce “The Breadwinner ,” a comedy with few details available at the moment.

There’s zero chance it’ll duplicate the bawdy antics of a “ Hangover ” or “Old School” style romp.
