Beloved Stand-up Comedian Coming To Worcester

WORCESTER, MA — A popular stand-up comedian is coming to Worcester this fall.

Comedian Bert Kreischer is bringing his "Permission to Party World Tour" to Central Massachusetts, with a stop at The Hanover Theatre. The show, which is set for Nov. 14 at 7 p.m., is part of newly added dates extending the tour through the end of 2026.

Kreischer, who first gained national attention as Rolling Stone’s “Number One Partier in the Nation,” has since become one of the highest-grossing stand-up comedians in the world. He continues to do stand-up, alongside film, television and podcasts.

He was named by Forbes as “one of the best storytellers of his generation.”

His Netflix special "Lucky" was released in Mar. 2025. He also starred in the Sony Pictures film “The Machine,” based on his stand-up story, and recently launched the Netflix scripted series “Free Bert,” which debuted in 2026 and was quickly renewed for a second season.

Tickets for the Worcester show are on sale now through The Hanover Theatre box office.
