Bert Kreischer’s career has evolved from Rolling Stone’s infamous “Number One Partier in the Nation” to one of the top-grossing stand-up comedians in the world—and a powerhouse entrepreneur, content creator, and entertainment brand. Named by Forbes as “one of the best storytellers of his generation,” Kreischer has parlayed his signature comedy and authenticity into a dynamic media empire.
Bert grew up in Tampa, FL and headed to Florida State University in 1990. It was here where he experienced some of his most famous tales, including his epic MACHINE story. After 6 and a half years at FSU, he headed to NYC to hone his standup skills at the Boston Comedy Club before making the move to LA in 1999.
Bert has released six hit Netflix specials and starred in Netflix’s The Cabin with Bert Kreischer, further expanding his signature mix of comedy and chaos into the streaming world.
He also produced and starred in Sony Pictures’ The Machine — a feature film adaptation of his legendary stand-up story that brought one of his most iconic bits to the big screen.
Most recently, Kreischer co-created, executive produced, and starred in Netflix’s six-episode comedy series Free Bert, which debuted in January 2026 and quickly broke into Netflix’s U.S. and global Top 10.
The momentum is only building: Free Bert has officially been renewed for Season 2, marking the next chapter for a series that expands Bert’s world beyond stand-up and into scripted comedy.
As an entrepreneur, Kreischer has built an impressive portfolio of ventures. In 2022, he and LeeAnn Kreischer launched Berty Boy Productions, the content hub behind his expanding podcast and digital media universe—including Bertcast, Wife of the Party, Something’s Burning, and the massive Fully Loaded Comedy Festival + Fully Loaded at Sea.
Across stand-up, streaming, podcasting, and digital media, Kreischer has built one of the most far-reaching comedy brands in entertainment.

Stand-up is Bert’s first love — and it shows in a career defined by sold-out shows and massive live audiences.
From his unprecedented Covid-friendly Hot Summer Nights Tour at drive-in movie theaters across the country to his current Permission to Party World Tour , Kreischer has entertained hundreds of thousands of fans around the world.
He also founded the Fully Loaded Comedy Festival , a touring juggernaut that has hit ballparks, arenas, and even the high seas with Fully Loaded at Sea.
Alongside fellow comedian and best friend Tom Segura, the 2 Bears 1 Cave brand has expanded from a Top Ten comedy podcast into a broader cultural phenomenon — including the annual 2Bears5K fan event, the hit podcast available through 2 Bears 1 Cave, and their vodka brand Por Osos (“For Bears”).
But ask him, and Bert Kreischer will be the first to tell you his proudest accomplishments might actually be his athletic antics, which have become a defining part of his public persona. From bench pressing 325 pounds in front of Jason Kelce — on a bet with Taylor Lewan and Will Compton of Bussin’ With The Boys — to body-slamming Austin Theory during his unforgettable appearance on WWE Raw, and even winning a hand-slap contest against Tyreek Hill during his Super Bowl weekend show, Kreischer has further cemented his status as a fan-favorite entertainer who effortlessly blurs the line between comedy, sports, and chaos.
