Life as a Non-Genius: A Comedic Memoir
Before he was a comedian, Nate Bargatze was convinced he was a genius—until a seventh-grade cliff-diving accident "dented his skull" and derailed his dreams of becoming a brain surgeon, an electrical engineer, or the world’s hardest math teacher. Instead, he found his true calling in stand-up comedy, where he’s now breaking records and selling out arenas.
In this hilarious first book, Bargatze reflects on:
✔ His first car, "Old Blue" – a Mazda with a tennis-ball stick shift
✔ Growing up Southern – and why Northerners always ask if he believes in dinosaurs
✔ Surviving his first apartment – where he was almost eaten by rats
✔ Marriage debates – covering chores, diet choices, and his questionable definition of "shopping"
✔ His obsession with Vanderbilt football & sushi conspiracy theories
Perfect For Fans Of:
✔ Comedians like Jim Gaffigan, John Mulaney & Tom Segura
✔ Relatable humor & laugh-out-loud storytelling
✔ Books like Dad Is Fat & Born a Crime
✔ Stand-up comedy lovers & casual readers looking for a fun, lighthearted escape
😂 Packed with wit, charm, and heart, Big Dumb Eyes is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud—just don’t expect it to make you any smarter.
