Bert Kreischer had a Sunday he will want to forget. The comedian, who is currently on tour, watched his tour bus go up in flames. He shared a picture of the charred remains of his bus on social media.

"We are all safe but my bus is gone -- God works in mysterious ways," Bert wrote in the caption.
Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Bert still had tickets on sale for his show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! Later on Sunday.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown. When looking at the picture that Bert shared, the majority of the damage appears to be at the front end of the bus. As such, it's fair to assume there may have been an engine problem.
"Notably, the luggage compartment on the outside of the bus just behind the driver's seat was left open, suggesting passengers may have had time to pull their luggage off," The Daily Mail noted.
Even though losing his tour bus was a setback, Bert will be back on the road in the coming days. The next date of his tour is scheduled for March 19, and will take place in Saginaw, MI. The next night, he will need to whizz over to Pittsburgh, PA to play at the PPG Paints Arena.
The final date on Bert's tour will be June 5 in Duluth, GA.
Bert Kreischer Will Also Headline Lake Comedy Festival in May
Bert Kreischer's tour will also see him take a slight detour. The Netflix comedian is part of a powerhouse lineup for the 'Laughing on the Lake Comedy Festival' which will run for the first time ever on May 16. The laugh-a-thon will take place at the Ozarks Amphitheater.
"Kathleen Madigan, a two-time American Comedy Award winner, joins the festival as a major featured performer," Artthreat noted when sharing the full line of comedians who will be at the event. "Rory Scovel and Chris Porter round out the core headliners, while Shane Torres completes the main roster. The lineup also includes Whitney Cummings, Big Jay Oakerson, Ralph Barbosa, Dan Soder, and Matt McCusker."
Hopefully, by then, Bert will have a new tour bus. Otherwise, he's going to find getting around extremely difficult.
