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.
We saw him about 8 years ago and he was so funny then that it stuck in our minds for years. When we saw he was coming to town, we jumped on it and told all of our friends. The show was so funny I almost peed my pants! This guys is one of my top 2 or 3 comedians ever. Go. You won't be disappointed.
Awesome guy. We laughed so hard! His topics were relatable and he brings a ton of energy to the stage.
If you ever get a chance to see Jim Breuer please do! You won't regret it! We saw him on Valentine's Day and was greeted with a rose! Nice venue and Jim was great! Would go see him again in a heartbeat!
Jim is like a friend who is absolutely f'in hysterical. So real and down to earth. He knows he is one of the luckiest people in the world. Very humble. Funny as Hell!!! "YEAH" "YEAH!!!"
This was the first time my boyfriend and I saw Jim Breuer live, after having watched numerous skits online and listening to him on Sirius comedy channels. We laughed so hard that our stomachs and backs were sore. He is by far one of the most hilarious comics out there, and what's nice is that he has a clean act. Not that we don't condone cursing, but it's amazing how funny he is without using curses in his act. Can't wait to see him again!
Jim Breuer was hilarious I would recommend to all my friends
Jim Breuer and his Opener Rich Aronovitch were fantastic! So funny and kept the crowds attention the entire time! Both kept me laughing. Best Valentine's Day decision ever.
My husband and I attended to celebrate our 22nd Wedding Anniversary; we had a great time. The time went by fast because it was a very entertaining show. This was our first event at the Paramount; overall it was a very good experience.
Jim Breuer was great in person. I've heard him on the Howard Stern show several times, but he was even funnier live. He keeps the humor clean so good for all audiences. Got to meet him after the show and he was friendly and took the time to talk to you. Highly recommend going to see him live.
Jim was hysterical! I've heard him before on the radio but never saw him live. He was so funny. The entire theater was laughing non stop. I would see him again when he's back in town.
Fun night out with the hubby. Jim is extremely funny, can really relate to him and his comedy being in our 40's and 50"s. Would totally recommend seeing him. His opening act was very funny also.
The show was awesome and laughed the entire show. Thanks Jim for a great night.
Took my wife to the Paramount in Huntington to see Jim Brewer's Valentines Day comedy show. Had us laughing so hard our abs hurt the next day. Great performer and a great venue to see him in. :)
I was looking for a more funny experience. it just wasn't there. I had a few laughs, but not ttoo many. I tried, but now I know that this is not my kind of gig.
Jim Breur and his opening act were on point from start to finish.
Smart, clean comedy! Breuer is the best of the best. Third time seeing him, his material is different every time. Not a moment spent w/o laughing at this guy that has the energy of an 18 year old!
I've been a fan of Jim Breuer for many years now, watching every show that has been recorded and released to the public for viewing. Still, seeing this man do comedy in person was like nothing I've experienced before in my life. Jim had me crying start to finish for nearly 90 minutes straight and NOT ONCE was there a single dull moment. I really couldn't believe the flawlessness of his routine. Also, if anyone has grown up or lived on Long Island as Jim has, you really need to see him do a show on the island because the inside jokes about the island were spot on and absolutely hilarious. I have already bought tickets to see him again in April and will continue seeing him anytime he comes back to Long Island. The only downside of this show was the venue. The seating was very congested, using fold out chairs side by side. I was forced to realign the seats in my row (nobody said anything even though our row was transparently sticking out at the end and into the bar scene) just to be comfortable (and im an average sized man). If you're going to the paramount, I suggest getting seats that are closest to the edges because I witnessed many people in the middle of rows who had to use the restroom and just decided against it because it was literally a pain in the rearend for everyone to get out of the way.
Jim Breuer is so funny. The show was great! I've been a fan of his for years and this was the first time I've seen him live and he did not disappoint. It was awesome!
Drove 4 hours to Long Island, afterward drove 4 hours home, because I had to work the next day. So worth it. took my daughter whose 10, she laughed and smiled the entire time. She loves Jim Breuer. So nice he did an all ages show so she could enjoy him in person. Wonderful time!!! Would definitely do it again!!!
What a great comedian! Very approachable at meet and greet. The laughs kept on coming!!
