Nate Bargatze breaks comedy tour record and launches new production company

Comedian Nate Bargatze has set a Guinness World Record for the most tickets sold on a stand-up comedy tour. His ‘Big Dumb Eyes World Tour’ sold 2,045,040 tickets across 129 venues between April 2025 and August 16, surpassing the previous record held by Jeff Dunham.

Following this achievement, Bargatze is expanding his business ventures through his production banner, Nateland Entertainment. He has announced the launch of ‘No Pictures’, a new company focused on producing film and television content for older audiences and edgier genres.

To lead these efforts, Bargatze has hired industry veteran Lawrence Grey as Chief Content Officer. Grey will oversee both No Pictures and Nateland Entertainment, bringing experience from his own banner, Grey Matter Productions, to help scale the comedian’s media presence.
