From Rolling Stone’s “Number One Partier in the Nation” in 1997 to one of the highest-grossing stand-up comics and a major motion picture star, Bert Kreischer’s career has seen remarkable evolution. Forbes hails him as “one of the best storytellers of his generation,” seamlessly blending anecdotes about family and fatherhood with his signature party-boy humor.

In March 2023, Kreischer released his highly anticipated 5th stand-up special, “Razzle Dazzle,” joining his other specials, “Secret Time,” “The Machine,” and “Hey Big Boy” currently streaming on Netflix. “Razzle Dazzle” has consistently ranked in the top 5 standup specials on Netflix, with at least one of his other three specials accompanying it in the top 20 since its debut.
