About Bert Kreischer
Bert Kreischer’s career has evolved from Rolling Stone Magazine’s "Number One Partier in the Nation” to one of the top grossing stand-up comics in the business, movie star, leading podcaster and entrepreneur. According to Forbes, Kreischer has been hailed as, “one of the best storytellers of his generation, seamlessly and sincerely sharing anecdotes about his family and fatherhood while proving that there’s a way to take his [party-boy] antics into middle-age.” In 2024, Kreischer had the #6 highest grossing comedy tour worldwide, a huge accomplishment as he only toured 6 months, from January to June.
Following a 140-city international arena tour, Kreischer shot his 6th stand-up special in his hometown of Tampa, FL and all six shows sold out within a day. Kreischer will release his newly awaited special, Lucky, on Netflix on March 18th, 2025.
In March of 2023, Kreischer premiered his highly anticipated Netflix stand-up special, Razzle Dazzle, the follow up to his previous stand-up specials; Hey Big Boy (Netflix), Secret Time (Netflix), The Machine (Showtime/Netflix) and Comfortably Dumb (Showtime).
Razzle Dazzle was a hit for the streamer, garnering critical praise and reaching their top 10 most watched list with over 8.3 million global views in its debut.
Also in 2023, Kreischer starred in and produced the Sony Pictures film, The Machine, based on his signature stand-up set recounting his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. After a theatrical release, The Machine immediately launched into Netflix’s Global Top 10 Films list upon its premiere on-platform later that year.
During the summer of 2024, Kreischer wrapped his third annual iteration of the Fully Loaded Comedy Festival, which hit twelve of the most iconic ballparks, arenas, and amphitheaters across the country to sold out crowds. Fully Loaded featured Bert, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Tiffany Haddish, Shane Gillis, Nikki Glaser, Whitney Cummings and many more - including special drop-in guests like Jelly Roll and Marcus King. In October of 2023, Kreischer took his festival to sea with the Fully Loaded at Sea Cruise. The event sold out in just a few days and broke the long-standing record for alcohol sales previously held by Kid Rock.
In addition to being named, “one of the US’s top stand-ups over the past decade,” by The Guardian, Kreischer is a world-renowned podcaster, hosting Bertcast, with over 600 episodes, and 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura, which consistently charts in the top 10 comedy podcasts worldwide. Kreischer also created, hosts, and produces his YouTube cooking show, Something’s Burning, which has earned over 45.3M views to date. On social media, Kreischer boasts impressive numbers totaling 13.4M fans across all platforms, and 280M total views on his YouTube channel alone.
This coming May, the 2 Bears, 1 Cave duo is hosting their second annual “2 Bears 5K” fan event with special guest Jelly Roll. The inaugural “2B5K,” was held at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena with thousands of runners participating. For 2025, the second 2B5K will take place in Tampa, FL at Raymond James Stadium.
Last year, Kreischer and Segura launched their own vodka company, Por Osos, which has rapidly become one of the most sought-after spirits in the industry.
In 2022, Bert and LeeAnn Kreischer founded Berty Boy Productions, the production home to the entire video and podcast solar system that orbits Kreischer, his friends and colleagues, and the Fully Loaded comedy brand.

Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, Bert Kreischer first gained national attention while attending Florida State University, where Rolling Stone famously dubbed him “the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country.”3 That notoriety was a launchpad for his comedy career and inspired the 2002 film National Lampoon’s Van Wilder.3
Kreischer’s first stand-up set was at Potbelly’s in Tallahassee.4 Encouraged by the experience, he sent a recording of the set to Jason Steinberg, a New York agent and his only industry contact.

Immersed in the city’s thriving stand-up scene, Kreischer found his voice as a performer and started honing his craft.
