Bert Kreischer: Permission To Party

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. In 2024, he landed the #6 highest-grossing comedy tour worldwide—despite performing only six months out of the year. His sixth Netflix special, Lucky, filmed in his hometown of Tampa, FL, sold out all six shows within 24 hours of the on-sale and premiered in Netflix’s Top 10 Most Watched TV Shows in March 2025. Kreischer’s 2023 special Razzle Dazzle reached over 8.3 million views in its debut week, continuing the success of his previous specials: Hey Big Boy, Secret Time, The Machine, and Comfortably Dumb. 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 extensive podcast and digital media universe—including Bertcast, Wife of the Party, Something’s Burning, and the massive Fully Loaded Comedy Festival. Bertcast has become the flagship of Kreischer’s media presence. Known for its unfiltered, longform conversations, the show regularly features high-profile guests from the worlds of entertainment and sports.

The festival features top-tier comics and surprise guests like Jelly Roll and Marcus King—and even broke Kid Rock’s long-held record for alcohol sales at sea. In May 2025, Kreischer and Segura hosted their second annual 2 Bears 5K fan event at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, joined by special co-host Jelly Roll. The event drew over 7,200 participants—including Jason Kelce, members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Jelly Roll’s band—and sold out of both drinks and merchandise, thanks to sponsors Garage Beer and Por Osos. During the event, Kreischer won a stein-holding contest against several Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This followed the success of the inaugural 2B5K, held at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena in conjunction with the Netflix is a Joke Festival, which also attracted thousands of runners, including Travis Barker of Blink-182.
