Media Raves About “Rare and Incredible”

Standup Sensation Bert Kreischer: 

“Gut-Bustingly Hilarious,” “Amazing,”

“Epic” and “Dyed-in-the-Wool” Storytelling

And “Crusher of Irreverent Comedy”   

 

“Massive Draw” Will Tape His Next Netflix Comedy Special 

At Omaha’s Orpheum Theatre on 11/18

 

(LOS ANGELES) Audiences that pack arenas, amphitheaters, minor league baseball stadiums and prestige theaters laugh heartily at the jokes and routines of red-hot comedic master Bert Kreischer. And the media is echoing their delight.

“Bert Kreischer tells ridiculous stories in gut-bustingly hilarious fashion,” hails Newsweek of his humor that draws from the absurdities and weirdness of everyday life, frequently his own with his wife and two daughters. Kreischer’s bond with his burgeoning multitude of followers, and his love for entertaining them, promptedMaxim to declare him “currently the Hardest Working Comedian in Show Business.” Rated 2020’s #1 live comedy draw by Pollstar, his ongoing Berty Boy Relapse Tour is enjoying such strong ticket demand that he’s adding multiple dates and two shows a night in many markets soon after the initial bookings go on sale.

The secret to his surging success – which, as Variety says, “is not a surprise” – is being “authentically himself” and “really hilarious,” noted “CBS Saturday Morning” in a recent segment on Kreischer. Or as the Buffalo Newsobserves, “Bert Kreischer delivers laughs with bare truth.”

Says Penn State’s COMMEDIA of a recent appearance at the university, “When Kreischer entered the arena, the fans erupted to the point where people would think that it was Penn State’s signature White Out game. Right off the bat, his shirt was gone and the crowd loved it. He fed into the audience’s energy and it was amazing. Throughout the show he continuously interacted with the crowd… it is great to see a genuine comedian be themselves on stage and care about his audience. It was an amazing show that will not soon be forgotten.”

In addition to being a “crusher of irreverent comedy and podcasts, master storyteller, and the king of all parties,” as High Times describes Kreischer, Bert is also commended by “CBS Saturday Morning” as a “master of media.” He enjoys appearing in numerous TV shows within a range of modes from starring to hosting to acting, and guesting on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “Conan,” and “Racheal Ray.” He hosts three top-rated podcasts: “Bertcast,” “2 Bears 1 Cave,” and “BillBert,” as well as his YouTube cooking show: “Something’s Burning.” He has published a book, released a comedy album, and will soon make his starring film debut in “The Machine,” costarring Mark Hamill of “Star Wars” fame, currently in post-production, and based on his routine of the same name that has racked up nearly 89 million combined views on YouTube and Facebook. He will tape his next comedy special at two shows on November 18 at Omaha, Nebraska’s elegant landmark Orpheum Theatre.

In live appearances, where the comedy rubber meets the road, he’s hailed by Variety as “a busy touring stand-up comedian, known for his unbridled enthusiasm and epic storytelling (usually while shirtless).” And as the Nashville Tennessean reports, he’s a “massive draw.” His recent second appearance at Denver’s legendary Red Rocks and all of the eight dates on his innovative sold-out Fully Loaded Comedy Festival that played such outdoor locales as baseball stadiums, amphitheaters, and an auto raceway grossed close to half-a-million dollars. Plans are already underway for an expanded slate of Fully Loaded dates this coming summer.

Praised by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for live performances in which “the execution was flawlessly hilarious,” Kreischer keeps winning new fans by being “lively and responsive to his enthusiastic audience,” notes the Albany Times Union. They enjoy how his comedy is both relatable while at the same time pushes the thematic envelope, as Interrobang notes: “Kreischer has that rare and incredible talent that only a handful of comedians possess – the ability to set up a joke with a premise that you are convinced goes too far, and you can’t possibly find it to be funny. Then he pulls your feet out from under you, and not only makes you laugh, but also makes you think that awful premise wasn’t even so terrible to begin with. Being a cringe comedian with real insight is one of the hardest things to do, and Bert has done it.”

Another source of his surging appeal is how audiences sense how Kreischer “is a great big open heart, the sweetest guy in the world,” raves “CBS Saturday Morning” correspondent Jamie Wax. Being exactly who he is as a comic is the potent fuel that powers what Yellow Scene Magazine describes as a “comedic comet ride.” For as Kreischer notes, “I started telling stories that are authentic to who I am. That’s when I started hitting my stride.”
