Nate Bargatze regularly sells out arenas, he’s still a joke craftsman at heart.“Right now I don’t have a new hour,” the 45-year-old told the New York Post in an exclusive interview. “So in these final shows on my ‘Be Funny Tour,’ I’m adding a few new things.”The workhorse comic doesn’t have a full hour at the moment because he’s churning out specials at a breakneck pace.His last hour “Hello World” hit Amazon Prime in January 2023; the next one that he recorded in early 2024 is due out sometime later this year, hence the need for new material.And, while other comedians may not enjoy the process, Bargatze revels in it.“The fun part is when you get done taping, you’re like ‘oh my God, what else is there to talk about’ but then you find stuff and get laughs on new jokes.

I have one I like about DoorDash that I came up with right after the special.”If you want to see Bargatze work out new material — and what this brand-new DoorDash bit is all about — now’s your chance.On Friday, Aug.

2, the “Saturday Night Live” host is scheduled to headline two shows at Atlantic City, NJ’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at 7 p.m.

and 10:30 p.m.“We’re going to clean Atlantic City up,” Bargatze joked. “There’s enough language on the casino floor already.
