I just want to go back and do my stand-up for a little bit.

I like the restrictions just because I think its fun to write with [them].

If youre looking for edgy or topical material, Bargatze says, hes not the guy for you.

Stand-ups a good thing for them.

The experience shooting this hour was a welcome one, following a mid-pandemic taping for his last special.

The comic may be operating just in his own little lane with Nateland for now.
