Midwest Comedian Berens Brings Laughter and Charm to New Special

Comedian Charlie Berens is bringing his unique brand of Midwest charm and humor to his latest stand-up special, filmed last month at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, Wisconsin. The hour-long special, which follows up his 2023 special "Midwest Goodbye," features Berens' signature storytelling about growing up as one of 12 children, sneaking a beer into church, gambling with his grandmother, and sharing "Midwest Cheap Hacks."

Berens, a multi-talented entertainer with over 10 million social media followers, has found success across various mediums. In 2021, he became a New York Times bestselling author with "The Midwest Survival Guide," and in 2020, he hit #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart with his music/comedy album "Unthawed." The comedian has also won an Emmy award for his work as a journalist.

Currently on his "The Lost & Found Tour," Berens has sold over 350,000 tickets in 113 cities since 2022. His Midwest-focused content, including his popular sketch series "The Manitowoc Minute" and the podcasts "Bellied Up" and "The Cripescast," has attracted a loyal following and major brand partnerships with companies like Chevy, PepsiCo, and Target.
