Bert Kreischer
Stand-up comedian and actor Bert Kreischer weaves his characteristic party-boy antics with sincere yet humorous anecdotes about family and fatherhood.

The latter, which features cameos from stars like Caitlyn Jenner, Tom Segura, Joey Diaz, and Kaley Cuoco, shot to the platform’s top 10 just 24 hours after premiering. For his latest project, The Machine, Kreischer partnered with Legendary Entertainment — the creator of The Hangover, Jurassic World, and Straight Outta Compton — to turn his infamous story about robbing a train with the Russian Mafia into a movie.
