Each show in the Fully Loaded Festival's tour features a wide range of comedians from road comics to household names, aligning it perfectly with Bert’s impactful support of Comedy Gives Back.

Bert’s wife and COO of Berty Boy Productions LeeAnn Kreischer explained the connection during her interview with Comedy Gives Back on her Wife of the Party Podcast. “Comedy Gives Back does a wonderful job of supporting comics in need. So, when Bert and I started Fully Loaded Festival last year, it was very important for us that it be a give. Part of our give is to give back to the community of comics, so again this year, we are supporting Comedy Gives Back.”

ABOUT BERT KREISCHER
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.
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).
In March, 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 Time, The Machine, and Hey Big Boy are currently streaming on Netflix, as well.
As if that wasn’t enough, Kreischer started this summer off as the star and producer of the Legendary/Sony Pictures film, The Machine, which premiered exclusively in theatres across the country on May 26th. The film, based on his signature stand-up set, recounts his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip.
Additionally, Bert is taking Fully Loaded to sea in the fall with the Fully Loaded at Sea Cruise October 27th-31st from Miami with stops in Great Stirrup Cay and Nassau, Bahamas. The highly anticipated event is already sold-out. Kreischer will continue his Tops Off World Tour on September 14th at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC and continue through December.
In addition to a successful stand-up career, Kreischer is a world-renowned top podcaster hosting Bertcast, where he shares his wisdom and life with fans and has recorded over 500 episodes. He also co-hosts Two Bears One Cave with Tom Segura, which consistently charts in the top 10 comedy podcasts worldwide. Bert also hosts the YouTube cooking show, Something’s Burning, which has gathered close to 10 million views.
In 2022, Bert founded Berty Boy Productions, the production home to the entire video and podcast solar system that orbits Bert Kreischer, his friends and colleagues, and the Fully Loaded Comedy Festival. Berty Boy provides a platform for podcasts specializing in the worlds of stand-up comedy and live comedy entertainment, and was distinctly created to provide production services, publicity, and support to Bertcast, Wife of The Party, Something’s Burning, and many more to come.
