Been waiting to see Charlie for a long time due to Covid cancellations. Love his Manitowoc Wisconsin Minute. Nice to have a comedian with Midwest humor which we can understand being from the Minnesota/Wisconsin area. He seems down to earth and just a little irreverent.
We enjoyed Charlie at the Mayo Civic Center. The Civic Center is easy to get to and you can take the Skyway if the weather is bad. The seats and line of sight are excellent. The show was about 90 minutes with 20 plus for the opening act and about an hour for Charlie. The opening act, Andrew Roffe, was entertaining and best when when telling us his weight determined his ethnicity. It was a good bit that was nicely handled. Charlie was was the fun we needed during COVID. He makes a great connection with the audience. He jumped right into politics but he had a light touch as when he did religion near the end of the show. He succeeded in making us laugh because he wasn't looking for our approval. The crowd agreed. As we were in Minnesota he had to make fun of the Vikings; some place had enough room to hold all the Vikings' Super Bowl trophies. And his stories of being a newsreader in Dallas with a Wisconsin accent and vocabulary were great. Go see Charlie. You don't have to be from the midwest to enjoy him.
Check in kinda sucked because you had to wear a mask. But the show was amazing and would definitely come back to see Charlie again.
The show started nearly a half hour late, because it took so long to get everyone through security. When we got to our seats, it was extremely tight and clearly not designed for having a full house of adults. The seats were maybe 17" wide, but the average adult is definitely larger than that. We were packed in so tight, hip to hip and shoulders hunched forward, it was difficult to enjoy the show. The performance was about how I expected, entertaining and interactive. There were times when I think the audience response and the general atmosphere was impeded by the late start and uncomfortable seating.
My husband and I went to the Rochester MN show and it was amazing! Charlie is so funny my husband was laughing till he cried. The Midwest goodbye was probably the funniest because it was so true with my family. Would love to go see him again!
As someone who works in healthcare during these uncertain times… 90 minutes of pure laughter was EXACTLY what was needed. I have always wanted to see him in person, my wish came true on my 33rd wedding anniversary! Thanks for the laughter Charlie! It was much needed and appreciated!
Charlie had a nice chat with the crowd at the start of the show. He is talented with great improv. Then he got into the show and spoofed the Midwest accent and attitudes. So funny!! One of the spoofs was the remake of the movie Titanic with Jack voice dubbed with a more Midwestern voice. Hilarious!
Loved his performance and authenticity. Only negative was too many people coming and going to get drinks. It was very distracting.
Charlie was very funny and very good. The problem that I had were the ushers. They were very helpful finding seats, however, once the show started they were walking up and down the isle and were very distracting. I came to see Charlie not the ushers. I felt like I was being babysat. Like I said, Charlie was great, the venue was beautiful, the ushers need to relax.
Charlie Berens is absolutely hilarious! You will definitely not be disappointed when seeing his show! The Hoyt Sherman Place is also one of the most unique venues I’ve ever been to!
Hoyt Sherman is one of the best places in DSM to enjoy a performance! Charlie was an AWESOME show! Lots of laughs and was amazing to see him live!
Both acts were extremely funny and way worth the trip!
Charlie was hilarious with his midwest charm and Wisconsin humor. Wife and I, as well as the audience, were in tears rolling with laughter
Great show, great venue, great experience. Ticketmaster made it very easy to aquire the tickets and transfer to will call from print at home
Great show, no F-bombs. All clever. The non-Sconnie portion was good too, but his real strength is the real estate he occupies almost all by himself, a Manitowoc original.
