Comedian Bert Kreischer is sticking with Netflix, signing with the streamer to film two more stand-up comedy specials. This reps the fourth and fifth specials for Kreischer at Netflix, following “Razzle Dazzle” (2023), “Hey Big Boy” (2020), and “Secret Time” (2018).
The first of the two specials will be filmed by Kreischer at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg, Fla., on July 6. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Kreischer, who grew up in nearby Tampa (where he most recently sold out the Amalie Arena in February 2023). Kreischer’s Florida bonafides include attending Florida State University, where he was infamously dubbed the “Number One Partier in the Nation” by Rolling Stone in 1997.
Kreischer will exec produce the new specials along with LeeAnn Kreischer, Judi Marmel, Tony Hernandez, Jeff Tomsic and Jordan Levy. Tomsic is also the director, while Kreischer’s Berty Boy Prods. is behind the specials.
The comedian is currently on the road with his “Tops Off World Tour,” hitting the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Kreischer’s other credits include starring in Sony Pictures’ “The Machine,” which was released last year and was based on the stand-up’s routine about encountering Russian mobsters on a trip. The story became his signature bit, forming the basis of his special “The Machine” (2016). Both the special and the film are streaming on Netflix.
Kreischer’s second annual “Fully Loaded Comedy Festival” took place at 16 ballparks and arenas across the country this past summer, while his “Fully Loaded at Sea Cruise” was sold out. Kreischer hosts podcasts including “Bertcast” and “2 Bears 1 Cave with Tom Segura.” He also created, hosts and produces the YouTube cooking show “Something’s Burning.” He founded Berty Boy Productions in 2022.
Over the years, Kreischer — who received Variety’s Creative Impact in Comedy Award in 2021 — also published his book “Life of the Party: Stories of a Perpetual Man-Child” in 2014 and hosted several shows for Travel Channel.
