No shirt required, for comedy star, at upcoming performance in Columbia
Comedy star Bert Kreischer is coming to Columbia for a performance in 2024.
The comedian known for his shirtless antics will bring his “Tops Off World Tour” to Colonial Life Arena, promoters said Tuesday in a news release.
The show is scheduled for April 11, 2024, at the arena in downtown Columbia.
It’s the only tour stop currently planned for South Carolina. Kreischer is scheduled to perform in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on April 28, 2024.
Tickets will go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, and will be available on ticketmaster.com. Various presale events will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Any tickets that are still available after Friday can be purchased at the Colonial Life Arena box office on Oct. 17.
Ticket prices range from $39 to $125-plus, according to the Ticketmaster website.
Kreischer’s career has evolved from being “Rolling Stone” magazine’s 1997 “Number One Partier in the Nation,” to one of the top grossing stand-up comics, and most recently, star of the movie “The Machine.”
Kreischer has been called, “one of the best storytellers of his generation, seamlessly and sincerely sharing anecdotes about his family and fatherhood while proving that there’s a way to take his (party-boy) antics into middle-age,” Forbes magazine reported.
In March, Kreischer released “Razzle Dazzle,” his fifth stand-up special on streaming giant Netflix. His other performances available online include “Secret Time,” “The Machine,” and “Hey Big Boy.”
In addition to being named “one of the US’s top stand-ups over the past decade” by The Guardian, Kreischer is also a popular podcaster hosting “Bertcast,” with over 500 episodes, and “2 Bears 1 Cave” with fellow stand-up comedian Tom Segura.
