Mid-December isn't usually a great time to go shirtless in Sioux Falls, but there's always an exception to everything.

Comedian Bert Kreischer, who has made quite a name for himself telling jokes, is bringing his Permission to Party Tour to the Denny Sanford Premier Center, Thursday, December 10th.

Kreischer, a native of St. Petersburg, Florida, rose to fame in 1997 when he was a student at Florida State and was featured in a Rolling Stone magazine story which dubbed him 'the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country.' That story became the basis for the 2002 film National Lampoon's Van Wilder, starring Ryan Reynolds.

After getting standup experience in Florida, and later New York City and Boston, Kreischer was featured along with four other comedians on the DVD release National Lampoon Live: New Faces – Volume 2, in 2014.

Over the years he's appeared on all of the late night talk shows and released six comedy specials, most recently Lucky, in 2025.

Tickets for the Sioux Falls show go on sale Thursday (June 11) with a pre-sale (code: BK2026). General public tickets go on sale Friday (June 12).
