Comedian Nate Bargatze breaks Elton John's attendance record in Duluth
Comedian Nate Bargatze kicked off his U.S. tour in Duluth Thursday night, breaking a long-held ticket sale record in the process. Bargatze performed at Duluth's AMSOIL Arena on Thursday, marking the start of the U.S. leg of his "Big Dumb Eyes" tour. The venue reported it had sold 7,840 tickets to Bargatze's show, breaking a record of 7,600 set by Elton John in 2011. "Nate Bargatze was just in Dublin and now he's in Duluth, Minnesota, shattering a 14-year attendance record of Sir Elton John," Daniel Hartman, executive director of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center, said in a statement. "It was a fantastic night at AMSOIL Arena!" Bargatze, who received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album in 2023, has gained widespread recognition for his Netflix specials and his Nateland podcast. Bargatze will also make stops in St. Paul and Rochester during his tour. He'll perform at the Xcel Energy Center on July 26 and 27 and at the Mayo Civic Center on Sep. 17.

Bert Kreischer will bring his shirtless comedy to St. Paul, Duluth this fall
Frequently shirtless comedian Bert Kreischer is bringing his "Permission to Party" tour to Minnesota. The comedian, who will release a Netflix special titled Lucky on March 18, will head to the Xcel Energy Center on Sep. 20, which will be followed on Sep. 21 with a show at AMSOIL Arena in Duluth. While Kreischer made his name on a reputation for bits about partying, he's risen to become a major draw through his storytelling, often weaving details about the transition from "party-boy" to fatherhood into his jokes. Tickets to see the Tampa-born comedian and podcast host in St. Paul and Duluth are on sale today.
