Charlie Berens Brings GOOD OLD FASHIONED COMEDY SPECIAL To Fox Cities P.A.C.

The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center has announced NiteLite Presents: Charlie Berens "Good Old Fashioned Comedy Special" on Saturday, February 22, 2025.

Wisconsin's own Charlie Berens will be taping his much-anticipated second one hour comedy special of brand-new material on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Thrivent Hall in Appleton, WI for two shows at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. This show will be the follow up to his 2023 debut comedy special, “Midwest Goodbye.”

Charlie's return to the Fox Cities will be one of the most anticipated stops on his “Good Old Fashioned Tour,” which by the end will have lasted 589 days, playing 127 shows in 88 cities. “My first stand up show ever was in Appleton at Skyline Comedy Club back in 2017 shortly after the Manitowoc Minute took off,” says Berens, “So for this stand up special, I wanted to bring it back to the city that was kind enough to first welcome me on stage. Also, Appleton's real close to my favorite Lake Winnebago ice fishing spot. I'm just praying for good ice, so I'm not doin' my set for an audience of walleyes.”

Tickets for the 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. performances in Thrivent Hall start at $41.43 and go on sale Friday, November 15, 2024 at 12:00 p.m.
