Bert Kreischer 'Permission to Party' Tour 2026: 33 Shows and Tickets
Bert Kreischer has 33 shows on the Permission to Party Tour. The run opens Saturday, August 8 with a two-show night in Jamestown, NY, where he headlines the National Comedy Center's Lucille Ball Comedy Festival on a 2026 lineup that also features Jerry Seinfeld and Seth Meyers. It wraps up Saturday, December 12 at Sangamon Auditorium in Springfield, IL.
The routing moves through three distinct phases: September is outdoor season — Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham, Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Vina Robles in Paso Robles, and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles — October and November work through historic theaters like the Chicago Theatre, The Met in Philadelphia, and the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, and December finishes with an upper-Midwest arena run through Sioux Falls, Council Bluffs, and La Crosse.

What to Expect
The Machine has never been busier. Beyond the tour, Kreischer keeps expanding the empire he built on the strength of his podcasts and Netflix specials: his Fully Loaded Comedy Festival brand is still rolling, he's been on Fox News talking up a new festival venture, and Deadline reports he'll co-host CBS's "New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash" with country star Hardy to close out the year. Expect the shirt to come off.
If you're picking a night: the September amphitheater dates are the biggest rooms with the easiest tickets — the Greek in LA is the marquee stop. The fall theater run is where seats will go fastest; the Chicago Theatre and the Capitol in Port Chester are the collector's-item venues. The December arena swing through smaller Midwest markets is the sleeper pick if you're driving distance from Sioux Falls, Council Bluffs, or La Crosse. And the festival opener in Jamestown pairs the show with the National Comedy Center itself, the country's official comedy museum.
