Date of birth: August 19, 1971
They had their first date on May 25th, 2001. LeeAnn and Bert dated for a short time and then she dumped him. The reason for such a decision was that Bert got drunk at a dinner party and started a conflict with her friend. To get his beloved woman back, the comedian decided to quit drinking and started visiting Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and focused his mind on new career projects. He asked God to give him LeeAnn back and promised to marry her and make her his only one.
At the same time, LeeAnn suddenly felt that she had to give Bert a second chance. They reconciled and got married on December 28, 2003.

For many years she channeled her energy to her husband and their 2 daughters. But in 2018 she felt so lost and uncreative. Her husband advised LeeAnn to start a podcast. Thus, she began hosting the “Wife of the Party Podcast”. In each episode, LeeAnn discusses with her guests everything she wants – money, parenting, relationships, etc. During 5 years of her podcast work, LeeAnn talked to various people, including her husband Bert, comedian Luis J Gomez and others.

But Bert didn’t attend his classes regularly and partied a lot.
Bert didn’t know, what to do after college, but becoming a standup comedian was one of his dreams. His too-relaxed lifestyle helped him to gain initial popularity. As a constantly partying student, Bert became the hero of the 6-page article in Rolling Stone magazine.
He used “the moment of glory” wisely to push his career as a standup comedian. He performed in Florida nightclubs and bars during his years in college. Later he moved to New York after being hired by the Boston Comedy Club. He easily made people laugh, and that opened his doors to the world of small screen shows.

During that period 3 seasons of the reality series were released. As a show host, Bert traveled around the USA to amusement parks and arranged extreme sports competitions for married couples there.
He also had a small role in the series “The Shield”, “The X-Show”, “Trip Flip” etc.
In 2023 he presented the new film “The Machine”, based on his life story. The Machine is another of Bert’s nicknames. In one of his standup monologues, Bert tells a story, of how he got that moniker (shortly, he was named The Machine in Russia for his skill to drink alcohol without limits). The video of Bert telling that monologue gathered 85 million views on YouTube. Such a success attracted the attention of a global entertainment company “Legendary”, which bought the rights to this story. After that, the film “The Machine”, starring Mark Hamill and Stephanie Kurtzuba, was shot. Bert acted as himself.
