Bert Kreischer: Tops Off World Tour
Sep 17 @ 7:00 pm
Bon Secours Wellness Arena

Renowned comedian, actor, host, and author Bert Kreischer announced he’ll be extending his Tops Off World Tour with 31 new dates this fall. 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 TimeThe 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.

“Lady ADHD” Comedy Show
Oct 20 @ 7:00 pm
Alchemy Comedy Theatre

“LADY ADHD”: Observations from a Hyperfocused Mind

“LADY ADHD” leaps from the perpetual-motion mind of comedian, quirky genius, and overall rather loud person, Blaire Postman.

Part Stand Up, part Ted Talk, the show is an unexpected, high-energy tour of her neurodivergent brain, her signature flip-chart stand-up comedy pieces, and unexpected clarity she’s received about the world and herself where they overlap.

Imagine if all the open tabs on your computer from a weekend of spiraling down Wikipedia rabbit holes were then woven into a cogent and brutally funny theory about the brain, art, Americana, the boxes we try to force ourselves and others into, and the humor and self-appreciation that can help us break free of them.

On the heels of its packed January 2023 performance, and just in time to kick off ADHD Awareness month, “LADY ADHD” comes to Alchemy Comedy Theatre on Friday, October 20, 2023 and Saturday October 21, 2023 at 7PM.

Some of “LADY ADHD”’s accomplishments, notice & kudos include:
2023 Finalist, Yes And Laughter Lab (entertainment industry comedy incubator)
Official selection to be part of the 20th SF Sketchfest (2023)
Featured run at Caveat theater in New York (June-Sept 2022)
Guest on notable podcasts to discuss “LADY ADHD” and Blaire’s journey embracing her neurodiversity, including Slate Magazine’s “The Waves”; “Just Between Us” and “A Super Bloom with Candice King”
Selected as the closing event at the International ADHD Convention (Virtual Nov. 2021)

Blaire has been a stand-up comedian for nearly 10 years, and has a previous background in improv comedy. As a stand-up, she headlines indy clubs and alt rooms, and features for world-renown comedians in nationally branded clubs around the country.

She also performs regularly in New York at clubs and particularly in respected alt venues on shows such as “Butter Boy” at Littlefield and “Good God” at Union Hall; has been featured on “PBS NewsHour” and on podcasts for her stand-up including “The Jackie & Laurie Show” (named “Comic of the Week”), “The Dork Forest” and many more.

Her stand up landed her spots in comedy festivals including 10,000 Laughs (named “Best of the Fest”), SF Sketchfest, Asheville Comedy Festival, Limestone Comedy Festival and many more.

Also, cats.
