Bert Kreischer, a comedian and Tampa native, has announced a benefit show for victims of Hurricane Helene at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Kreischer will be joined by Mike Calta, a local on-air personality, during the BERT AID show on Saturday, Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. Other surprise guests will be announced later. I was born in St. Petersburg, raised in Tampa, and went to school in Tallahassee, Kreischer said. Anything that happens to the state of Florida, I always feel like happens to me. I think all Floridians feel this way. Florida defined me, and the Bay area is family. I will do anything to help family.All proceeds from the show will go to Metropolitan Ministries to aid relief of hurricane victims. Kreischer recently filmed his sixth Netflix stand-up special at the Mahaffey Theatre in St. Petersburg. His other specials, "Secret Time," "The Machine," and "Hey Big Boy," are all streaming. He also co-hosts the comedy podcasts "Bertcast" and "Two Bears One Cave," with Tom Segura.Tickets for BERT AID go on sale Friday, Oct. 4, at 12 p.m. Click here for more information.
