Nate Bargatze has been quietly building something beyond his own career. Nateland Presents: The Showcase is where he and the Nateland crew put their credibility behind a rotating cast of up-and-coming comedians, filming live sets at Zanies Comedy Club in Nashville and releasing them on YouTube for anyone to watch. The result is a growing library of clean, relatable stand-up from comics Bargatze personally vouches for.
These comedians are available to book for corporate events, holiday parties, conventions, and more through Funny Business Agency. Below, you’ll find a selection of our favorites from the Showcase, each with a clip from their set so you can see them in action before you reach out.
Kira Soltanovich
Kira Soltanovich is a Russian-American comedian with nine years of Tonight Show correspondent credits and a sharp, self-deprecating voice that’s been refined on stages across the country. Her material draws from marriage, family, and the particular chaos of everyday life — delivered with speed and specificity that keeps corporate audiences locked in.
Her Season 3 Showcase set is a strong sample of what she brings to a live room.

Maggie Hughes DePalo
Maggie Hughes DePalo is a Chicago comedian whose deadpan delivery and sarcastic takes on marriage and motherhood have earned her a devoted social following — 150K+ followers and over 40 million views across Instagram and TikTok. In 2026, she became the first female comedian to feature on Nate Bargatze’s arena tour. Her Nateland Showcase set is exactly what it looks like when someone earns that kind of recognition.

The numbers reflect what’s easy to see in the room: he connects.
