Nate Bargatze's New Orleans announcement concerned the Be Funny Tour at the Smoothie King Center on May 30, 2024. The venue's archived event page lists a 7 p.m. start and describes a show with new material. This was a specific stand-up booking in a particular tour cycle, rather than a general announcement about an actor arriving in the city.
Contemporary local coverage said Bargatze had added the New Orleans stop to the tour. Its presale code and quoted price range described the announcement period, not a standing offer. That sales information was tied to the May 2024 engagement. The name of the tour, the arena and the date remain the more durable record of what was advertised.
The Smoothie King Center listing also stated that photography, video and audio recording were not allowed from any device, including mobile phones. That is a rule preserved on the 2024 event page, not a blanket statement about every Bargatze performance or every event at the arena. Keeping the rule attached to its source and date avoids turning one show's instructions into an unsupported permanent venue policy.
This New Orleans booking should not be blended with the later Big Dumb Eyes World Tour. Tour names, dates and advertised material can change even when an artist returns to the same city or arena. The Be Funny name is therefore more than decoration: it tells readers which announcement they have found and helps distinguish an archived page from a listing for another run.
