Hot Summer Nights

While on the road for the 2020 Hot Summer Nights Tour , performing at drive-in venues amid the pandemic, Bert was struck by the allure of open-air comedy gigs. This new-found love was the catalyst for the Fully Loaded Comedy Festival . In the spirit of Lollapalooza , Bert envisioned a festival that would encapsulate all of his favorite elements: laughter, the great outdoors, conviviality, and enjoying drinks with friends, all meant to offer a shared experience that would resonate with fans long after.

The Fully Loaded Comedy Festival proudly supports Comedy Gives Back . They are an organization founded as a safety net for comics by providing them with financial crisis relief, mental health support and more to those that need help.  They are an incredible organization, and have already done so much for comedians.

Bert Kreischer Talks Going on His Dream Tour: The Fully Loaded Comedy Festival, One of the Year’s Top Touring Comedy Shows

Kreischer’s dream is now a reality, wrapping up last month after a 17-date tour across North America — including the Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, Alabama, and ending at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington. When the numbers are all reported to Billboard Boxscore, the tour is likely to come in at a more than $10 million gross, making it one of the top earning comedy tours of the year.

Headlined by Kreischer, who has seen his profile skyrocket in the last two years thanks to his films like 2023’s The Machine , comedy specials like Hey Big Boy and Razzle Dazzle and popular comedy podcasts including “2 Bears, 1 Cave” with fellow comedian Tom Segura , this year’s stacked lineup for Fully Loaded included  Mark Normand, Shane Gillis, Tiffany Haddish, Stavros Halkias, Fortune Feimster, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Jim Norton, Andrew Santino, Big Jay Oakerson, Jay Pharoah, Dan Soder, Chad Daniels, Ralph Barbosa, Rosebud Baker  and  Tammy Pescatelli .

“Bert selects all of the talent for the show — its not being picked by a promoter or a talent buyer,” says manager Judi Marmel , a partner at Levity Talent. “In a world where nothing is agnostic, the festival is the purest form of an artist executing their vision.”

“Our intention for creating Fully Loaded was to build a lifestyle brand that represents all of the aspects of life that Bert enjoys the most, that could then support multiple ventures and revenue streams for years to come,” says Marmel.

Kreischer says his wife LeeAnn convinced him to invest the first years earnings from the 2022 run back into the festival and worked with a team of friends to book excursions and activities for participating comedians.

“We wanted to make it the best experience a comic could ever have with extra tour buses and plenty of amenities to make it feel like a great gig,” Kreischer says — like a visit to Churchhill Downs or batting practice with the home team at the stadium they were playing.

For this year’s tour, Kreischer says his team booked activities for every day of the tour, which was split into four separate four-day runs — June 14-17 playing Forest Hills Stadium in New York, followed by CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, PNC Field in Moosic, Penn. and Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford; June 22-25 at Turtle Creek Stadium in Traverse City, Michigan, Parkview Field in Fort Wayne, Indiana Enterprise Center in St Louis, Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. The tour then took a two week break before returning for eight more July dates, including a July 6 show at Huntsville, Alabama’s new Orion Amphitheater, a July 8 show at AutoZone Park in Memphis, a July 12 show at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and the show closer July 15 at the Gorge.

Kreischer says organizing the festival wasn’t always easy, having to sometimes make tough decisions like like deciding each night’s lineup, curated to fit the venue and market and momentum of the overall tour.

“There are certain acts that other comedians have a hard time following,” Kreisher says. “Acts like Chad Daniels, who was simply amazing. And I also had Tiffany Haddish on the lineup, who no one could f–king follow either. Most promoters wouldn’t give a s–t and say ‘just find someone to follow them,’ but as a comic, I had to say, “No that’s not how it works,” and I’m able to talk to a comedian like Dan Soder and ask him to open — and he’ll do it because he understands, and the request is coming from a comedian.”

Kreischer adds, “And then I will take the bullet and close the show behind someone like Chad or Tiffany. Everyone there knows me — I just take my shirt off and people go crazy.”

“At the heart of [things],” Kreischer says, “I love comics, and I love being on the road with comics. And my daughters who I bring on tour with me love it too. During the tour, one of them told me, ‘I love this — you wake up in a different city every morning, you have breakfast ready and everyone you eat with is hilarious. This is amazing.'”

Bert Kreischer Extends Tops Off World Tour With 31 New Dates

BERT KREISCHER EXTENDS TOPS OFF WORLD TOUR WITH 31 NEW DATES Tickets go on sale Friday, May 5th at 10am (local time) 

LOS ANGELES (MAY 2, 2023) – Renowned comedian, actor, host, and author Bert Kreischer announced he’ll be extending  his Tops Off World Tour with 31 new dates this fall. Presale begins Wednesday, May 3rd at 10am local with code TOPSOFF  and tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, May 5th at 10am local. For more information and tickets, visit bertbertbert.com or follow @bertkreischer on social media.   Bert Kreischer’s career has evolved from earning Rolling Stone’s 1997 "Number One Partier in the Nation," to one of the top  grossing stand-up comics in the business. In 2022, Pollstar listed Bert as #4 in the “Top 10 Highest Grossing  Tours,” performing to sold-out arenas around the globe. He is currently on his 2023 Tops Off World Tour.  

As one of the best storytellers of his generation, Kreischer seamlessly and sincerely shares anecdotes about his family and  fatherhood while proving “that there’s a way to take his [party-boy] antics into middle-age,” (Forbes). 

On March 14th, Kreischer released his highly anticipated 5th stand-up special, Razzle Dazzle on Netflix. Shameless — and  shirtless — as ever, Bert spills on bodily emissions, being bullied by his kids, and the explosive end to his family's escape  room outing. His stand-up specials, Secret Time, The Machine, and Hey Big Boy are currently streaming on Netflix. 

As if that wasn’t enough, Kreischer tops off this summer as the star and producer in the Legendary/ Sony picture  film, The Machine, exclusively in theatres across the country on May 26th. Kreischer rose to fame as a stand-up comedian  known as The Machine, and in his signature set, he recounts his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze soaked college trip. Now, 23 years later, that trip has come back to haunt him as he and his estranged father (Mark Hamill)  are kidnapped back to Russia by the mob to atone for something they say he did. Together, Bert and his father must retrace  the steps of his younger self (Jimmy Tatro) in the midst of a war within a sociopathic crime family, all while attempting to  find common ground in their often-fraught relationship. 

On June 14th, Bert will kick-off the second annual Fully Loaded Comedy Festival at sixteen of the most iconic ballparks and  arenas across the country. The biggest comedy event of the year with a “Fully Loaded” line-up that includes Bert Kreischer,  Mark Normand, Shane Gillis, Tiffany Haddish, Stavros Halkias, Fortune Feimster, Dave Attell, Lewis Black, Jim Norton,  Andrew Santino, Big Jay Oakerson, Jay Pharoah, Dan Soder, Chad Daniels, Ralph Barbosa, Rosebud Baker and Tammy  Pescatelli. 

In addition to a successful stand-up career, Kreischer has made himself a world-renowned top podcaster with his popular  comedy podcasts. Bert hosts Bertcast where he shares his wisdom and life with fans and has recorded over 500 episodes.  He also co-hosts the podcast, Two Bears One Cave with Tom Segura, which is consistently charting in the top 10 comedy  podcasts in the world. In addition to the podcast, Bert is the host of the YouTube cooking show, Something’s Burning that  has gathered close to 10 million views.

Bert kreischer has shows all over the u.s. in 2023. some tickets are $34.

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.

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 .
