TAMPA — Comedian Bert Kreischer will bring his “Permission to Party World Tour” to the Tampa Bay area for a show on Friday, Jan. 30, 7:30 p.m., at Benchmark International Arena, 401 Channelside Drive, Tampa.
Tickets start at $40.31. Visit www.ticketmaster.com.
Kreischer’s career has evolved from Rolling Stone’s infamous “Number One Partier in the Nation” to one of the top-grossing stand-up comedians in the world — and a powerhouse entrepreneur, content creator and entertainment brand. Named by Forbes as “one of the best storytellers of his generation,” Kreischer has parlayed his signature comedy and authenticity into a dynamic media empire. In 2024, he landed the No. 6 highest-grossing comedy tour worldwide, despite performing only six months out of the year.
His sixth Netflix special, “Lucky,” filmed in his hometown of Tampa, sold out all six shows within 24 hours of the on sale and premiered in Netflix’s Top 10 Most Watched TV Shows in March 2025.
Kreischer’s 2023 special “Razzle Dazzle” reached over 8.3 million views in its debut week, continuing the success of his previous specials: “Hey Big Boy,” “Secret Time,” “The Machine” and “Comfortably Dumb.”
As an entrepreneur, Kreischer has built an impressive portfolio of ventures. In 2022, he and LeeAnn Kreischer launched Berty Boy Productions, the content hub behind his extensive podcast and digital media universe — including “Bertcast,” “Wife of the Party,” “Something’s Burning” and the massive “Fully Loaded Comedy Festival.”
“Bertcast” has become the flagship of Kreischer’s media presence. Known for its unfiltered, longform conversations, the show regularly features high-profile guests from the worlds of entertainment and sports. With hundreds of episodes and millions of downloads, “Bertcast” continues to attract fans for its humor, honesty and behind-the-scenes stories. His YouTube series “Something’s Burning” has surpassed 54.76 million views, while his other podcast “2 Bears, 1 Cave” — co-hosted with Tom Segura — consistently ranks in the top 10 globally. Across platforms, Kreischer commands over 16.8 million fans, with 4.4 billion impressions and 343.2 million views on YouTube.
