COMEDY

5. Bert Kreischer

Bert Kreischer (MGM Resorts International)

Who pops their tops in January? Bert Kreischer, that’s who. The winter chill can’t stop the burly comic from going shirtless at his shows. Why does he do it? Because it matches his comedy, where Kreischer lays himself bare in stories that chronicle his journey from party-hard frat dude to doting dad in candid, frequently self-lacerating fashion. Basically, he’s the comedian everyone wants to have a beer with. See why at 8 p.m. Friday at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, 4455 Paradise Road. Tickets start at $49; axs.com.
