Charlie Berens Releases New Full Length Comedy Special “Neighborly” on YouTube

Comedian and New York Times best selling author Charlie Berens has released a new stand up special titled “Neighborly”, now available to watch for free on YouTube. The hour long set highlights his signature Midwest Nice humor, blending personal history with sharp observational storytelling.

In the special, Berens dives into his life as one of twelve children, giving audiences a look at the chaos, warmth, and characters that shaped his upbringing. He walks viewers through moments like sneaking a beer into church as a teenager and spending time at the card table with his grandmother, who had a competitive streak of her own. (She even makes a cameo to offer some important life advice.)

He also reflects on the role the Green Bay Packers played in his childhood. According to Berens, his father’s devotion to the team acted as a kind of emotional barometer for the whole household. The result is a set filled with stories that feel both personal and familiar to anyone who grew up in a midwest family.

Alongside the family stories, Berens includes material that touches on his experience with ADHD and how it unexpectedly helped him understand the logic and quirks of artificial intelligence. The topic gives the special a current angle while maintaining the wry tone he is known for.

“Neighborly” was filmed in Appleton, Wisconsin, a location choice that reinforces Berens’ ongoing connection to the region that inspires much of his work. The live audience setting adds energy to the performance while keeping the environment familiar to longtime fans of his comedy.

Available Now on YouTube

The full special is accessible on his official channel. With its blend of family humor, personal reflection, and regional charm, “Neighborly” offers a complete hour of material that highlights Berens’ continued growth as a storyteller and performer.
