The perpetually shirtless stand-up comedian plays a version of himself in the six-episode show, which finds Bert in a sticky situation after his daughters enroll in an elite Beverly Hills private school and his “unbridled antics turn his family into outcasts.” In order to fit in, Bert decides to finally put on a shirt (both literally and metaphorically, we presume) and suppress his true self.
