About Bert Kreischer
Albert Charles Kreischer Jr. (born November 3, 1972), known as Bert Kreischer, is an American stand-up comedian, podcaster and actor. Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and raised in Tampa, he attended Jesuit High School of Tampa and then Florida State University, where he majored in English. In 1997, during his sixth year at FSU, he became the focus of a six-page Rolling Stone article that named him "the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country." The article served as inspiration for the 2002 film National Lampoon's Van Wilder, starring Ryan Reynolds.
Kreischer is known for performing stand-up while shirtless and for his storytelling, most famously the story of how he allegedly earned the nickname "The Machine." His first comedy special, Bert Kreischer: Comfortably Dumb, aired on Comedy Central in 2009, followed by Showtime's Bert Kreischer: The Machine (2016). Netflix subsequently produced four specials: Secret Time (2018), Hey Big Boy (2020), Razzle Dazzle (2023) and Lucky (2025). He starred in the comedy film The Machine (2023).
Through his production company, Berty Boy Productions, Kreischer produces and hosts the podcasts Bertcast and Open Tabs and the cooking show Something's Burning. He also co-hosts the podcast 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura. As a television host, he has fronted Hurt Bert on FX and Bert the Conqueror and Trip Flip on Travel Channel.
