I literally said to someone after, “Grab a recording of that, that’s how I write this story.” Then she goes, “Mom solved the whole thing and then that old lady scared the shit outta Papa,” and the place just explodes. Georgia was just like, “We only brought you there to watch Papa loose his shit and you have a panic attack, Dad.” And I was like, “Oh that’s right.” She was like, “Don’t you remember, Papa threw Nana into a steamer trunk? You were probably too busy shitting your pants.” And the place is falling apart, just crying laughing listening to her say this stuff. I did the escape room with her and I had actually tried it on stage, but I was so far off from what really happened and why it was funny. The one that you tell in the special, I assume? She goes, “Dad, did you talk about the escape room?” Then she told the story on stage. I was stumped one night on stage, and Georgia called me randomly and I answered the call from stage, and the place went nuts. And when Georgia knew it was funny, then I knew it was funny. Suddenly, I was having a hard time coming up with material and I kept being like, “Why am I stumped?” And what it was was that Georgia and I would watch LeeAnn and Ila interact with us, and Georgia would highlight the stuff that was really, really funny. And I didn’t even realize it until she left for college. It’s so funny, baby.” And she goes, “Nah, I don’t like it.” This is the funniest thing anyone’s ever said in the fucking world.” I mean, there was a joke in the special that I pulled out that I offered her $10,000 for. ![]() But there were other parts of her growing up that she wasn’t comfortable with and she’d say to me, “This doesn’t go on stage.” I remember one time going, “I’ll give you $1,000. I mean, some of the funniest things she’s ever said, about her growing up, she was cool enough to let me talk about. And with that one, she went, “That’s a secret.” She’s always had the ability to say that to me. ” In the end, if I’m not mistaken, she only took out one. I said, “Let me tell ’em, if you don’t like ’em, we’ll take them out. I didn’t think it through, and so she definitely had final edit of that special and the jokes. Well, Ila Grace has become hyper-aware of making sure she’s represented the way she wants to be represented. Your whole family features prominently in the hour, and I’m curious to what extent they have input, and what those conversations were like before you go out on stage? And so I felt like I needed to find ways to show that and to show the fact that they bully me now. But what had happened was by the time I recorded it, Georgia was in college and Ila was driving. At first, I couldn’t figure out why I was running into such a roadblock with the hour. It’s funny, I’d started writing the material in January 2020 and then they grew up so much during the pandemic. I don’t know if I totally accomplished it, but that’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to give my girls a bit of a voice. ![]() You’re about to release your fifth special. He talked at length (and shirtless) about his daughters’ input as well as his comedy aspirations and his experiences in Hollywood. ![]() The Jax-produced special, his third for Netflix, is directed by Jeff Tomsic and executive produced by Kreischer, along with his wife LeeAnn, who also features prominently in his material, Tony Hernandez, John Skidmore and Judi Marmel.Īnna Lambe to Star in Untitled Netflix/CBC Arctic-Set Comedy Kreischer’s new set, which he’s titled “Razzle Dazzle,” has him making comedy hay of such subjects as bodily emissions, being bullied by his teen daughters, Georgia and Ila, and the explosive end to his family’s escape room outing. “It’s so my comfort zone,” he explains over the phone. It’s not so much a gimmick, he says, as it is the way he feels most at ease. After all, the married dad of two has been performing bare-chested for as long as he can remember. The move is met with thunderous applause in Omaha’s Orpheum Theater, where he shot the hour that’s dropping globally March 14 - though you get the sense that that’s the response wherever Kreischer goes. Less than a minute into Bert Kreischer’s latest special, he rips his shirt off.
