If Bert Kreischer is coming to your city, he’s bringing a party with him.
Most likely he’ll be doing it without a shirt too.
Kreischer, the man who inspired the 2002 film “Van Wilder” as well as the upcoming “The Machine” is midway through his ongoing “Tops Off World Tour” that will take his shirtless self to cities all over North America up until April 8.
Amazingly some last-minute tickets can still be scooped up for as low as $34 before fees on Vivid Seats.
After that, the raucous comic will head overseas for a string of shows in Europe, New Zealand and Australia from April 17-29 with a final international show at Sydney’s Aware Super Theater.
Then, to close the year, the “2 Bears 1 Cave” podcast host has plans to host a cruise of his own that he’s calling “Fully Loaded At Sea.”
Until then though, we’ve got the scoop on when and where you can see Bert in the good, ol’ U.S. of A as part of his never-ending party, this winter and spring.
All prices are subject to fluctuation.

Bert Kreischer podcasts
Kreischer is a busy fellow. In addition to touring, he also hosts not one, not two, but three podcasts.
The 50-year-old Florida native is the driving force behind his solo “BertCast.” Now 556 episodes deep at the time of publication, Kreischer cracks wise with big name comics like David Spade, Natasha Leggero, Tom Papa, Fortune Feimster, Steve O and many more.
He’s also known for his long-running show with fellow comedian Tom Segura “2 Bears, 1 Cave” where the two friends/co-hosts make each other and their guests laugh on a weekly basis. Recent guests include Tony Hawk, Kumail Nanjiani, Quentin Tarantino, Neal Brennan and Whitney Cummings.
Finally, “The Machine” teams up with Bill Burr on their “Bill Bert Podcast.” Although the podcast has been defunct since June 2021, you can check out their archive which has episodes featuring Doug Stanhope, George Lopez and Nate Bargatze as well as recently deceased comics Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried here.
