Charlie Berens: The Lost and Found Tour

Charlie Berens brings The Lost and Found Tour to Clowes Memorial Hall on Sunday, January 24, 2027. He's Wisconsin's most popular stand-up, and the show is built around the same Midwest-focused comedy that's made him a name outside the state. If you've come across his work, you probably know him from The Manitowoc Minute, the local news series he built his following on, or from his podcasts Bellied Up and The Cripescast, which together have more than 12 million followers and 3 billion views. He's also a New York Times best-selling author, having written The Midwest Survival Guide.

His comedy comes from a very specific place: growing up in a family of twelve, ice fishing, and gambling with his grandma. It's that kind of storytelling—the kind that starts with a family story and ends up hitting on something a lot of people recognize—that's carried him from local news clips to a national touring act. Over the last few years, his tours have reached 113 cities across 32 states, with more than 400,000 tickets sold and nine arena shows in the past four years alone. He's also an Emmy-winning journalist and a Billboard-topping bluegrass musician, so there's a bit more to the guy than just the stand-up.

Beyond the stage, he's been the face of Wisconsin's Annual Food for the Holidays Campaign for the last four years, and he recently launched his own brandy, Berens Old Fashioned Brandy, which he named after his Grandpa Bob. The show is at Clowes Memorial Hall on Butler's campus, 4602 Sunset Ave. in the Broad Ripple area, starting at 7 PM on Sunday, January 24.
