THE BEGINNING . . . Jim Breuer, born on June 21, 1967 in Valley Stream, Long Island, has established himself as one of the most outrageous comedians in the U.S. through his incredible stand-up performances, charismatic stage antics and impressions, various television appearances, movie roles and his Sirius Satellite Radio show. A stand-up comedian since his high school days at Valley Stream Central High School in Valley Stream, New York, Jim worked in comedy clubs around the country for several years before deciding to become a regular on the New York comedy club circuit. After being in New York for only seven months, he landed a gig on the nationally syndicated show, "Uptown Comedy Club," where he spent two seasons. HITTING IT BIG . . . In 1995, Jim joined NBC's "Saturday Night Live," becoming best known for his original character "Goat Boy" and his impression of actor Joe Pesci, resulting in the recurring "Joe Pesci Show" sketch. Word of his uncanny imitation of Pesci spread to the actor himself, who later made a surprise appearance on "SNL" to confront the comedian - creating one of the most memorable skits in the show's history - which was later featured on the documentary, "101 Most Unforgettable Top SNL Moments." In 1998, after a four-year stint on "SNL," Jim starred in the movie "Half Baked," alongside of comedian Dave Chappelle. That summer, MTV also invited the comedian to be a host on the popular show "MTV's Beach House," which featured Jim strolling the New Jersey shore boardwalk with hidden cameras. Additional appearances include numerous stints on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," as well as roles in several movies, such as "Dick" (1999) and "Once in the Life" (2000), and in 2006, he made a cameo appearance in Artie Lange's movie "Beer League." Also in 2006, Jim was named as the new host of VH1's popular show "Web Junk 20," where he guides viewers through the top 20 viral clips of the week. ON THE ROAD . . . Jim Breuer pioneered the "heavy-metal comedy" revolution, combining his love of rock ‘n' roll with comedy. Backed by a full band, Jim continues to entertain packed crowds with his impressions of AC/DC's Brian Johnson doing "The Hokey Pokey" and Metallica singing "If You're Happy and You Know It." In July 2007, word of Breuer's uncanny impression of Brian Johnson spread to the rock god himself, who personally requested that Jim sing with him live onstage during a John Entwistle Foundation benefit concert at BB King's Blues Club in New York. The comedian joined Brian Johnson onstage to perform a hilarious duet of Breuer's classic version of "Hokey Pokey," followed by an encore performance of "Highway to Hell". Jim's "Heavy Metal Man" comedy tours also feature a mix of routines that have become cult favorites, such as "The Wizard," "Coming Home at 4 a.m." and "Party in the Stomach." This revolutionary style of stand-up comedy secured Jim a spot on Comedy Central's list of the "100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time." Following his hour special on Comedy Central, Jim was invited to be a special guest host on "MTV Icon: Metallica," VH1's "Rock Honors" and Comedy Central's "Roast of Denis Leary." Unlike other comedians, Jim also shows his fans a softer side with his "Family Man" show, where he brings hilarious anecdotes about being a family man to life through charismatic stage antics and impressions. Nothing is sacred, as Jim introduces the audience to his family, telling side-splitting stories about his Dad (a.k.a. "Shuffles"), going to tap dancing lessons and gymnastics with his daughters and more. Throughout the years, Jim has also supported various charities through his comedy, including the Chris Farley Foundation, VH1 MusiCares, his local police and fire departments and more. UNLEASHING ON FANS . . . In 2004, Jim began his career at Sirius Satellite Radio as the host of his own show "Breuer Unleashed" on RawDog 104. Along with co-hosts, comedian Pete Correale and his high school buddies Larry Schneidmuller and Jimmy "Shaka," "Breuer Unleashed" takes listeners through a wide array of topics from music to family and friends to baseball and more. A variety of guests have appeared on "Breuer Unleashed," ranging from legendary rock stars like AC/DC's Brian Johnson, Metallica's James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, Rob Zombie and Willie Nelson, to comedy greats Chevy Chase, Bill Cosby, Denis Leary and Dave Attell, and celebrities like Howard Stern, Luke Wilson, Matt Dillon, Sugar Ray Leonard and more. Airing live weekdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST, "Breuer Unleashed" is celebrating its third year on Sirius.
It was a great performance by Jim and the guy before him. Jim is very talented and you can visualize every skit he does, great job
Unfortunately there was a gentleman who didn’t enjoy Jim’s humor or Joe Sib. I felt that they both handled him well, but it kind of made Jim lose his mojo for a bit. I think it was a tribute to Jim for handling the situation with professionalism and class. We would see him again anytime, anywhere.
From the moment he stepped on stage we laughed till it hurt!!
Totally entertaining experience. Laughed lots, overall great time. Well worth every penny spent. Breuer is one of the best.
Went to Jim's performance on Wed March 13th. He is real entertainer, kept everyone listening and anticipating on his next word. Very clean, good stage presence...Jim's ability to make everyday life experiences funny was the key.
Jim brought it again!!!! Always above and beyond entertaining. Thanks for a great show.
Jim Breuer is the best! His humor is relatable and clean. Jim also has a heartwarming message behind his comedy - we all need love and laughter in the world today! I highly recommend and will definitely be buying tickets WHEN ;) he returns.
My fiance and I went to his show in Wilkes Barre, PA on March 14, 2024. Jim is hysterical and you will definitely have a great time!
We love Jim but felt the show was more of a repeat the new material
love Jim but I thought much of his material was repeated from last year.
Jim Breuer is a comedic genius. I was in pain the next day from laughing so hard. This was the best comedy show I’ve ever seen, hands down!
Great show, but Jim and his opening acts (singer, comedian) have done the same material at the Paramount the last 3 shows there. It’s great for 1st timers, but your repeat fans would like a little change up, Opening act (divorced dad, shirtless teenager, etc.) gets stale real fast, hearing it the 3rd time. C’mon guys, we’re your hometown crowd, throw us a friggin bone!
Overdoes the "loud mic noises", some insightful parental pieces that were derailed by his politics. The biggest problem were the loud drunks at the bar that made it difficult to pay attention to the stand-up.
Jim is one of the very BEST comedians. I love it when someone can make you laugh uncontrollably, and yet speak the truth. Highly recommend !!
He came out guns blazing, tons of energy and I was tearing up he made us laugh so hard , well worth the time and money, would definitely see him again!
Jim Breuer has got to be one of the best stand ups touring today! And unlike most other comics, he keeps it clean.
Wow! Great venue in Spartanburg! Joe gib was super funny and Jim Breuer was AMAZING!! If you haven't seen either of them I strongly recommend checking them out!
Both acts were good! Plenty of laughs with these two acts. Jim delivered as expected
The show was great and funny. Both Joe Sib and Jim Breuer didn't disappoint. Thank you gentlemen for a great show. My wife, son and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sorry to say I didn’t know who Jim Breuer was when our son gave us the tickets for Christmas but everyone else knew him so I figured I would too. He was very funny I laughed the whole time he was on stage! Also his opening act was very good too!
