Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura are coming to The Hub in downtown Tampa this week

Bert Kreischer recently tried the dry life after going on blood thinners, but promises to get to the bottle this fall. In the meantime, he’s signing bottles for fans at liquor stores across the Bay area.

The 53-year-old standup comic and Jesuit High School alumni will be at The Hub in downtown Tampa this week along with fellow comedian Tom Segura, to promote the Por Osos Vodka named for their podcast “2 Bears, 1 Cave.”

Kreischer, who graduated from Jesuit in ‘91 before becoming the inspiration for Ryan Reynolds’ Van Wilder will be at the beloved dive’s package store at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 13 alongside Segura, 47, and it’s not their only stop in town.

Folks with access to MacDill Air Force can see the boys on Friday, Aug. 14 at 11 a.m. inside the MacDill Exchange, according to the @porososvodka social media account.

Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.
