Comedian Bert Kreischer has a new series streaming on Netflix
One of the most popular comedians around finally has their own series on Netflix.
Bert Kreischer already has nearly half a dozen stand-up comedy specials streaming on the platform. He also has a reality series where he takes out fellow comedians to a cabin for some self-care.
Now, he’s offering up to viewers a six-part series that offers plenty of his raunchy and goofy style of humour he’s famous for. Not only that but his signature shirtless look is a huge part of the plot as well.
According to the synopsis provided by Netflix, Bert Kreischer, shirtless comedian, party legend, perpetual wildcard, finds himself in uncharted territory when his daughters are accepted to an elite Beverly Hills private school. When his unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts, he decides to “put on a shirt” and stifle his true nature to better fit in.
While comedic in nature the show should also offer some intrigue and unexpected turns deserving of a binge worthy Netflix series. Like a lot of his material, Bert has taken strong inspiration from his family life for the series.
So who is in the cast? And who plays versions of his relatives in the show? Here is all you need to know.
