Drive-In Comedy

Among the many businesses effected by Covid-19, comedy clubs nationwide immediately shutdown in March and largely stayed closed throughout the pandemic. Headliner Bert Kreischer, the popular shirtless comedian, best known as β€œThe Machine,” found a way to return his act to the road using an American tradition: the drive-in movie theatre. Across the country Bert brought his tour bus and a mobile stage and played a string of historic drive-ins and parking lots to sell out crowds full of socially-distanced and thankful fans excited to be anywhere but isolated at home.
