A collection of outrageous stories by the standup comic, TV host, and inspiration for the movie National Lampoon’s Van Wilder.
“Bert Kresicher is as fearless on the page as he is on the stage. Bert admits things in Life of the Party that most of us wouldn’t even admit to ourselves. Open to page one and let Bert Kreischer take you on a magical ride.” —Mick Foley, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Foley Is Good
Bert Kreischer doesn’t know how to say “no.” If he did, he wouldn’t have gotten himself mixed up with a group of Russian mobsters on a class trip to Moscow, earning him his nickname, “The Machine.” He wouldn’t have wrestled with a bear or swum with sharks on national television. He wouldn’t have (possibly) smoked PCP with a star of Saturday Night Live. And he wouldn’t have been named the Number One Partier in the Nation by Rolling Stone, inspired the movie National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, or have become one of the most in-demand touring comedians in the world, performing to sellout crowds across the country.
The stories Kreischer shares in Life of the Party are a guidebook on how not to grow up. From his fraternity days at Florida State University to his rise as a stand-up to his marriage and first brushes with fatherhood, Kreischer shows you a path that may not lead you to maturity or personal growth. But it will lead you to a shitload of fun.
“[Kreischer’s] affability and self-deprecation only lead to his charm, and the result is a genuinely hilarious look at life in the fast lane.” —Publishers Weekly
