Bert Kreischer at Texas Trust CU Theatre

American stand-up comedian, reality television host and actor Bert Kreischer whose path to stand-up comedy has been an unusual one. In 1997, whilst in his sixth year at Florida State University, Kreischer was the subject of an article for Rolling Stone, who named him "the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country." This, in turn, was the basis for the 2002 film National Lampoon's Van Wilder starring Ryan Reynolds. Whilst living in Florida, Kreischer began performing stand-up, and later relocated to New York to pursue it as a career. Over the years, he has hosted several television shows, including Hurt Bert on FX, and Bert the Conqueror and Trip Flip on Travel Channel. He also produces and hosts Bertcast, a weekly comedy podcast on the All Things Comedy network.
