About Nathan
Nathan Timmel has been making audiences laugh for over 20 years, traveling coast-to-coast with his signature blend of sharp wit and authentic storytelling.
A veteran headliner, Nathan’s comedy dives deep into the messy, hilarious side of everyday life—parenting fails, personal screw-ups, and even the grim realities of prison overcrowding. His material is equal parts smart and irreverent, earning him spots on SiriusXM and multiple national tours. Nathan’s easygoing, self-aware stage presence turns even the most cringe-worthy truths into cathartic, can’t-stop-laughing moments.
bio
Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Nathan started his comedy career in the Big Cheese State. After graduating from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a degree in English, Nathan realized he was unemployable. One open mic later and a career in the business of laughter began.
Nathan has recorded six albums (and receives regular airplay on Sirius/XM radio), been a guest on the Bob & Tom Show, and traveled overseas to perform for American troops—including stops in Iraq and Afghanistan. He performs at comedy clubs around the country, from Buffalo to Albuquerque and Colorado Springs to Baltimore.
When one of my doormen has to leave the showroom because he’s laughing so hard, I know I’ve got a good comedian on stage.
