• As we recently reported, the YEA Networks-syndicated The Bert Show is adding a 4th co-host, and they’re giving listeners a sneak preview of this mystery dude on stage before they hear him on the radio. Tomorrow, May 1, the show is hosting a comedy night at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, featuring sets from several comics, including Davi Crimmins, who was recently promoted from Asst. Producer to fulltime co-host of The Bert Show, alongside Bert Weiss and Kristin Klingshirn. Following Davi’s set — and she kills — the show’s new mystery 4th mic co-host will be introduced to the attendees.
UPDATE: Bert Weiss checks in Monday morning to inform us that the show sold out in just four hours! All proceeds from ticket sales will support the work of Bert’s Big Adventure, a nonprofit organization that provides a magical, all-expenses-paid, five-day journey to Walt Disney World® for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

Jackie succeeds Milli Rodriguez, who recently announced her decision to leave the show to focus on her senior year of college.
