For its 10th headliner of 2024, the Wisconsin State Fair has booked Wisconsin's unofficial comedy ambassador.

Fresh off a four-show run at the Riverside Theater last month and an appearance on the current Wisconsin-set season of "Top Chef," Charlie Berens has booked a Wisconsin State Fair Main Stage show for Aug. 8.

It will be Berens' second State Fair appearance, after performing for one of the largest audiences of his career at the fair's main stage in 2022.

Tickets, at $35 to $45, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at wistatefair.com and will include fair admission for Aug. 8.

Comedian Charlie Berens performs at the Green Bay Packers Titletown District watch party for the regular season opener against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 12, 2021, in Ashwaubenon, Wis.
