Bert Kreischer’s Drive-In Comedy Tour Revolutionizes Stand-Up Amidst Pandemic
Comedian Bert Kreischer ingeniously reimagined live comedy in the face of COVID-19 with his Hot Summer Nights Tour, a first-of-its-kind drive-in stand-up tour. Overcoming the challenges imposed by the pandemic, Kreischer transformed drive-in theaters and spacious outdoor venues across America into stages for his comedy shows, allowing audiences to enjoy the live experience from the safety of their cars.
Socially-distanced Comedy
Embracing his role as a trailblazer, Kreischer extended the wildly successful tour into the fall with additional dates. Maintaining a commitment to safety, the shows followed rigorous social distancing protocols in line with CDC guidelines, while managing to bring in impressive attendance figures and a warm reception from critics and fans alike.
