Bert Kreischer's career has evolved from being Rolling Stone's 1997 "Number One Partier in the Nation," to one of the top grossing stand-up comics in the business, and most recently, star of a major motion picture. 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 March, Kreischer released his highly anticipated 5th stand-up special, Razzle Dazzle and his stand-up specials, Secret Time, The Machine, and Hey Big Boy are currently streaming on Netflix, as well. Razzle Dazzle has charted in the top 5 standup specials on Netflix and has been accompanied by at least one of his other three specials in the top 20 since its debut. Kreischer starred in and produced the film, The Machine, which premiered in the spring of 2023, based on his signature stand-up set recounting his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. The Machine has been in the top 10 on Netflix since its release on the platform on September 23rd. Additionally, Kreischer wrapped the second annual Fully Loaded Comedy Festival that hit sixteen of the most iconic ballparks and arenas across the country this summer. Bert is taking Fully Loaded to sea in the fall with the Fully Loaded at Sea Cruise this October and the highly anticipated event sold out in just a few days. Kreischer is currently on the second leg of his Tops Off World Tour ranging from the US and Canada to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. 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 top podcaster hosting Bertcast, with over 500 episodes, and 2 Bears 1 Cave with Tom Segura, which consistently charts in the top 10 comedy podcasts worldwide. Bert also created, hosts, and produces the YouTube cooking show, Something's Burning, which has gathered over 18.2 million views. On social media, Kreischer boasts impressive numbers, totaling 12.2M fans across all platforms, and 205.7 million total views on his YouTube channel alone. In 2022, Bert 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.
The best comedy show I’ve ever been to!! I laughed so hard the entire time my face hurt all night! Can’t wait to see him again.
Bert did NOT disappoint!! He was as funny as always with great material.
Great show with great openers. Non stop laughs and even a couple tears. Would go back again and again to see him.
Wow just go! I knew I was going to be entertained I already enjoyed his performances on other platforms but the live version was exponentially better! The jokes, the showmanship, and the collaboration were amazing!
Bert was incredible but we were also pleasantly surprised with the 3 opening comedians. I laughed so hard I cried all my makeup off.
We had fantastic floor seats and the huge screens on the stage were great. The pre show pictures were really funny. Before the show started there were guys taking their shirts off and dancing to the intro music which was hysterical. By the time the first comedian left the stage I already had a headache from laughing so much! Every intro comedian was funnier than the previous. Then Bert came on stage wearing a Columbus Blue Jacket jersey and the entire crowd was standing up and cheering. Then he took off his top and the roof came off!!! He was fantastic! Every story was sincere and hilarious. By the end of the show he was visibly emotional and sincerely humbled and thankful for Columbus, Ohio! I don't think he wanted to leave. Then he thanked every comedian who performed and reintroduced them individually. Truly memorable! Very humble! AWESOME PERSON!!!
Bert was flat out hilarious from start to finish. He is an amazing comedian and my wife and I have never laughed that hard. The show overall was great and the opening acts set the tone for the evening. If you have not seen Bert live, you need to put it on your bucket list. The man is a master.
We have seen Bert every time he has come to Columbus for years. It was absolutely incredible to see him at Nationwide for this show, 14,000 people cheering and laughing with a comedian that we used to just see at the FunnyBone. He truly just gets funnier and funnier every time we see him. I cried laughing from this show. Can’t wait for the next time!
The way that arena is set up the only way it can be done is with center stage. But they did it end stage which made it hard to see from some angles and the sound was terrible. The show was great though. Still worth it.
We laughed so hard ! He put on an amazing show ! We will definitely be going again !
The show was awesome. His jokes were the perfect mix of dark raunchy humor and emotional Dad material. Regardless of who you are, he is relatable.
First comedy show I've ever been to and loved every part of it! Can't wait for the next one!
I had never heard of Bert until my son asked me if I would take him to see him. He was so funny I could t stop laughing. I am glad I got to see him.
Bert's 2 hr set did not dissappoint! Great material, loved the Columbus roots shout out. Definitely worth sitting on the floor. Can't wait for his next return trip through Cbus!!
The show started out great and only got better. I laughed, I cried, and right back to laughing. Bert killed it.
i have never heard of bert before and my wife and i always going to the funny bone over the last 20 years. this was the absolute funniest comedian i have ever seen my face hurt all the next day from laughing . absolutely worth the money and will pay again
Bert is absolutely amazing! Loved that he could be emotional and grateful for Columbus, but yet still did his thing! My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard!
Had an absolute blast. The 3 comedians starting for Bert were funny, and Bert was absolutely amazing. Definitely would recommend seeing him. It's a lot more than just the Netflix specials.
It was a great show would recommend it to anyone Seats were alittle expensive and not a lot of food and drink choices
Great show! Fun to hear/see Bert history with Columbus O-H-I-O! Only negative, Nationwide Arena has added lights to isles. I was on isle side facing stage. Many times, light was on my eyes/distraction from show. I hope venue finds ways to alleviate this distraction.
