The Lerner Theatre welcomes Comedian Charlie Berens on November 22 for The Lost & Found Tour

Comedian, New York Times Best Selling Author, Emmy-winning journalist, musician Billboard-topping musician and creator of the viral sensation, The Manitowoc Minute, Charlie Berens has announced the addition of 18 new dates to The Lost & Found Tour across North America in 2026, with a stop at The Lerner Theatre on November 22. His previous Good Old Fashioned Tour played 127 shows in 88 cities and was shot for his latest stand up special, “Neighborly,” a follow-up to 2023’s “Midwest Goodbye.”

This string of success has led to his New York Times Best Seller The Midwest Survival Guide being optioned for TV development and three sold out nationwide stand-up comedy tours. In his free time, Charlie hosts the hilarious “Bellied Up” podcast w/ “Myles The You Betcha Guy” where the two of them belly up at a small-town bar every Thursday and take live calls from all over the Midwest and rest of the world.  He also hosts “The Cripescast” podcast where he has meaningful conversations with a wide range of guests, including musicians, headlining comedians, dairy farmers, groundbreaking scientists, government officials, world-renown chefs, artists, business leaders, sports Hall of Famers, explorers, Olympians, and creators about their story and connections to the Midwest. He has amassed over 10 million followers and over 3 billion views across his social channels thanks to his relatable comedic sensibility and while grounded in Midwest culture, Charlie’s material consistently lands on a national level.

Additionally, Charlie became a Billboard Chart-topper in 2020 when he hit #1 on the Bluegrass chart for his music/comedy album Unthawed and an Emmy winner in 2013 for his piece “The Cost of Water” at KDAF in Dallas. He also finds time for charitable causes and most notably has served as the ambassador for Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin for three years. If that wasn’t enough, he even launched his very own brandy, Berens Old Fashioned Brandy, which is in stores now across Wisconsin. Throughout all his work, Charlie aims to connect with people through comedy and authenticity.
