About Charlie Berens
A parody local newscast made Charlie Berens a Midwest favorite. He created the Manitowoc Minute in 2017, a weekly comic news update delivered in a thick Wisconsin accent, and it turned into podcasts, books and theater tours.
Berens grew up in Elm Grove and New Berlin, Wisconsin, and studied broadcast journalism at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He worked as a real reporter first, covering Wisconsin politics for MTV News in 2008 and winning a regional Emmy as a TV reporter in Texas before hosting comedy and sports shows on TV.
Once the Manitowoc Minute caught on, his first tour sold out theaters across Wisconsin, and his stand-up has since traveled well past state lines. His specials Midwest Goodbye (2023), filmed at Milwaukee's Riverside Theater, and Neighborly (2025) are both on YouTube. The humor is affectionate and rooted in Midwest life.
He wrote the New York Times best seller The Midwest Survival Guide (2021), launched The CripesCast podcast in 2020, and released Berens Old Fashioned Brandy in 2024.
