His name is Bert Kreischer and he is one of the few comedians, if there is anyone else, who can tell a true story about wrestling a bear. He is one of the few comedians who can tell a true story about partying with the russian mob. He is probably one of the best story tellers I have ever heard. Rolling Stone called him the greatest party animal. Van Wilder is loosely based on his time at Florida State. I cannot recommend Bert Kreischer highly enough as a comedian. Shame I'd have to go to America to see him live but if anyone could make me fly to america just to see some live comedy - he's the man...
...well Mitch Hedberg but that involves timetravel so Bert is easier.
