Just announced: Bert Kreischer extends tour with 2024 dates, including January stop in Amarillo

Notoriously shirtless comedian, podcast host, actor and author Bert Kreischer is extending his Tops Off World Tour to an additional 34 cities across the U.S., kicking off in January, including a Jan. 21 performance at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex.

According to a show announcement, the artist presale for tickets began Tuesday, Oct. 10, and tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. online at panhandletickets.com. Tickets will be available at 12 p.m. at the Amarillo Civic Center box office, by phone at (806) 378-3096 and on site at area United Supermarkets.

Kreischer starred in and produced the film, "The Machine," which has been in the top 10 on Netflix since its release on the platform on Sept. 23. The film premiered in the spring of 2023 and is based on his signature stand-up set recounting his experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip.

"Following an incredibly successful global stint throughout 2023, where Kreischer brought his shirtless antics everywhere from an impressive four sold out shows at the Mullett Arena in Tempe to a sold out TD Garden in Boston, Kreischer insisted on keeping the party going," a news release says. "In 2024, Kreischer will take the Tops Off World Tour everywhere from the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, to the Chase Center in San Francisco, all the way to the United Center in Chicago, and closing out in his home away from home, Austin, TX in May."

Kreischer’s career has evolved from being Rolling Stone’s 1997 "Number One Partier in the Nation," to one of the top grossing stand-up comics in the business, the release says. According to Forbes, Kreischer has been hailed as “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.”

In March, Kreischer released his fifth stand-up special, "Razzle Dazzle," and his stand-up specials, "Secret Time," "The Machine" and "Hey Big Boy" are currently streaming on Netflix as well. "Razzle Dazzle" has charted in the top five standup specials on Netflix and has been accompanied by at least one of his other three specials in the top 20 since its debut.

Additionally, Kreischer wrapped the second annual Fully Loaded Comedy Festival that hit 16 of the most iconic ballparks and arenas across the country this summer and is taking Fully Loaded to a sea cruise this fall. He is currently on the second leg of his Tops Off World Tour ranging from the U.S. and Canada to Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

In the podcast realm, Kreischer hosts Bertcast, with more than 500 episodes, and 2 Bears 1 Cave with Tom Segura, and his YouTube cooking show, Something’s Burning, has gathered more than 18.2 million views. In 2022, Bert founded Berty Boy Productions.
