Bert Kreischer needed to cheer himself up 15 years ago during a stand-up show in Dayton, Ohio, so he took off his shirt as a goof. It killed. So he kept doing it. The shirt-off schtick fueled his fame and became a trademark of his.<\/p>\n

Think Gallagher and his watermelon or Carrot Top and his props. In his new Netflix scripted comedy \u201cFree Bert,\u201d which was shot in Atlanta, Kreischer plays a version of himself who wonders if this is necessarily a good thing. (And, yes, the less-than-flattering Gallagher and Carrot Top references are made during the show.)<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
