Stand-up Comedy
While at Eastern Washington University, Nate was dared by one of his friends to enter a comedy contest. Not backing down, Nate entered and the rest is history. That was the start of how Nate became a comedian.
After graduating from Eastern, Nate moved to Hollywood to pursue comedy even further. When he moved back to Tacoma, he ran comedy rooms around the greater Puget Sound area and eventually started “Super Funny Comedy Show” in 2010.
Nate has done college tours, USO tours, and national tours. He’s been all around the globe, has been to every U.S. state twice and major cities more times than he can count.
