Social Media Star, Charlie Berens, To Perform In Rochester
Charlie Berens is an Emmy-award-winning journalist, a standup comedian, he’s been a Television host, but you probably know him from his hilarious Facebook videos. Berens blew up on social media a few years ago when he launched a weekly Facebook series called the “Manitowoc Minute”. His videos cover topics that are near and dear to people living in the upper Midwest and his unique takes on topics ranging from fish fries to Fleet Farm are hilarious.
Berens has over half a million followers on Facebook and his videos have been watched millions of times. He tours the United States performing live shows in front of capacity crowds and will soon be making a stop in Rochester for a special show at the Mayo Civic Center.
Wisconsin s own Charlie Berens has now officially made it. He showed off his new bobblehead in his likeness on social media. The bobblehead features a hat saying Ope, on top of Charlie in his signature duck hunting jacket, standing on a platform of Wisconsin with Keep Er Moving written on it.
Shortly after posting the photo Charlie commented on his own post saying cheese n rice, forgot this and linked to where you can purchase a bobblehead yourself. According to the website the bobbleheads cost $25 and are originally numbered to a limited 2,021 bobbleheads.

Food influencing has morphed from flat-lay latte shots into something extreme: the relentless promotion of “must-try” items that offer little in the way of taste or soul. Influencers travel in packs, battling it out for primo Instagram Explore placement: health-conscious content creators who contort desserts into no-bake, gluten-free, sugar-free monstrosities; oddly sinister Disney adults who rate novelty doughnut sandwiches; maximalist “bucket listers” who create stress-inducing milkshake bucket lists and never actually eat the gut-busting food they post. To today’s food Instagrammers, food is a prop much of it haphazardly stitched together in a Frankenstein-esque array of sushi burritos and peanut butter cheeseburgers. And it’s terrible. It’s all terrible.
