The Bert the Nerd Thrill Show!
Laughs! Thrills! Danger! Bert the Nerd really sets his crowd on fire -- in a good way!
Bert performs amazing feats of skill, daring stunts and incredible magic -- and then he opens his suitcase!
Whether perched atop a unicycle flinging around knives and torches, or simply smashing crackers with a sledgehammer, Bert manages to command the force of gravity but gets mystified by his necktie.
On Late Night with David Letterman, Dave called him, "Inspirational," and Paul Shaffer was impressed by his brush with danger. Bert's powerful performance fills the stage with amazing skill, hard-hitting comedy, audience participation, and refreshing spontaneity. Since touring for 3 years with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (in the USA and in Japan), Bert has been blowing away audiences -- in a good way -- the world over.
He's been spotted at corporate parties, colleges, Renaissance festivals, tourist spots, amusement parks, on TV on 3 continents ... even at the U.S. Vice Presidential Mansion!
Rich Potter, the man behind Bert, left art school in 1986 and literally ran away with the circus ... because he wanted to make a living. Clown College, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, Renaissance festivals, street performing.
In the following years, he has brought his wacky brand of humor to the stage in over 25 different countries (Luxembourg counts!), and in 2006, while studying with Avner (the Eccentric) Eisenberg, Bert the Nerd was born.
