Welcome to Litsy!

From one of the hottest stand-up comedians, Nate Bargatze brings his everyman comedy to the page in this hilarious collection of personal stories, opinions, and confessions. Nate Bargatze used to be a genius. That is, until the summer after seventh grade when he slipped, fell off a cliff, hit his head on a rock, and �my brain got, like, dented or something.� Before this accident, he dreamed of being �an electric engineer, or a brain doctor, or maybe a math person who does like, math things for a living.� Afterwards, a voice in his head told him, �It�s okay. You�re dumb now. All you got is standup.�* But Nate went on to become one of today�s top-grossing , record-breaking comedians. In Big Dumb Eyes, Nate talks about life as a non-genius. From stories about his first car (named Old Blue, a clunky Mazda with a tennis ball for a stick shift), life as a Southerner, and his first apartment where a rat chewed a hole right through the wall, to how his wife keeps him in line�and so much more. He also reflects on Vandy football and the origins of sushi (how can a Philadelphia roll be from old-time Japan!?). Nate�s book is full of heart and will make readers laugh out loud�but it probably won�t make them think too much. *Nate�s family disputes this entire story.
