Renowned comedian Bert Kreischer stops at the newly transformed XL Center on November 13th with his brand new tour, PERMISSION TO PARTY!
Bert Kreischer’s career has evolved from Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Number One Partier in the Nation” to one of the top grossing stand-up comics in the business, movie star, leading podcaster and entrepreneur. 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 2024, Kreischer had the #6 highest grossing comedy tour worldwide, a huge accomplishment as he only toured 6 months, from January to June.
Following a 140-city international arena tour, Kreischer shot his 6th stand-up special in his hometown of Tampa, FL and all six shows sold out within a day. Kreischer will release his newly awaited special, Lucky, on Netflix on March 18th, 2025.
In March of 2023, Kreischer premiered his highly anticipated Netflix stand-up special, Razzle Dazzle, the follow up to his previous stand-up specials; Hey Big Boy (Netflix), Secret Time (Netflix), The Machine (Showtime/Netflix) and Comfortably Dumb (Showtime).
Razzle Dazzle was a hit for the streamer, garnering critical praise and reaching their top 10 most watched list with over 8.3 million global views in its debut.
Also in 2023, Kreischer starred in and produced the Sony Pictures film, The Machine, based on his signature stand-up set recounting his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. After a theatrical release, The Machine immediately launched into Netflix’s Global Top 10 Films list upon its premiere on-platform later that year.
