Tampa Jesuit graduate Bert Kreischer is pretty damn famous these days. He recently appeared on Netflix’s “Roast of Tom Brady,” and on July 3 kicks off a multi-night taping for the streaming giant in St. Petersburg.

The 51-year-old who inspired the movie “Van Wilder” will be in town for six performances over four nights (including double headers next Friday-Saturday, July 5-6) at the Sunshine City’s historic Mahaffey Theater.

In a statement, Bill Edwards, CEO of Bill Edwards Foundation for the Arts and Big3 Entertainment, said he was thrilled to bring the comedian, podcaster and author to his room, adding that, “After considering all the theaters in the area, the Mahaffey was selected to be the venue for this incredible series of shows.”

Kreischer—who was Grand Marshall of Gasparilla 2024—shares the love, adding, “I am so proud to call Tampa Bay my hometown, proud that you treat me like family when I come back.” The venue just released seats in the orchestra section, too.

A few $83.25 orchestra tickets remain for Bert Kreischer’s four-night stand at Duke Energy Center for the Arts at Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg happening July 3 and July 5-6.
