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.
OMG! Jim Breuer is Laugh-out-Loud, Get-a-Stomach-Cramp, Pee-Your-Pants funny! I've seen him on TV specials, but it doesn't compare to a live show. Everything is even funnier because I'm from Long Island too and can totally relate when he does the piece about Long Island. Loved it. I'll go see him whenever I can. Great show!
Non-stop laughing the entire night! Jim Breuer is so talented it's scary!
Jim was better than ever. I was laughing from the moment he walked out to the moment he walked off. Unbelievable!
Jim Breuer was fantastic! Had all of us in stitches. Cannot wait to see him again!
Jim Breuer was so unbelievably funny. There were times when I couldn't stop laughing. He was awesome and it was a great show. (And no cursing!) :)
I have seen Jim before and I always laugh so hard I can't breathe by the time he is finished. He is good clean fun and his comedy is very relatable to everyday life.
It was a fantastic performance. I can definelatey relate to this type of comedy. It felt so geninune. I was laughing and smiling the entire time.
Jim Breuer was awesome as usual, 3rd time seeing him and I loved The Paramount.
Jim brewer was great! From the first minute of him opening to the last minute he was hysterical! I would recommend highly! The floor seats at the paramount were a little close to the row in front of you , behind you and next to you. Next time I'll be sure to get a seat in the regular seats that they have being the floor seats are put there specifically for shows like this. But other than that it was a great time. :)
Been a long time since I saw Jim Breuer live and this show was filled with so much material that made me laugh it hurt!
Jim Breuer is an amazing comedian and storyteller. I have seen him a few times and he never disappoints. I left the show with my stomach aching from laughing so hard. Don't miss him if he come to your area.
I have seen Jim 4 or 5 times and he always has new material and he always kills. I was dying. The girl in front of me was keeled over from laughing so hard. The opening act, Rich Aronovitch, well, I don't know... he seems to think accents and Robert De Niro faces are funny. He actually says "Accents are funny" at some point, but it's like, no dude, accents aren't really that funny. He seems like he'd be a good candidate for being the host of a children's show. I would actually recommend that to him. Sorry man. But it was worth sitting through to see Jim Breuer!!!
he was awesome. i love his bits about marriage, kids
Show was awesome! Venue was great except the chairs on the main floor were horrible I wanted to get up and stand for the end of the show but since the chairs were so close together we couldn't get out!
This guy was hysterical. I would have given 5 stars if it was not for the venue. Bottom line, Jim Breuer and his opening act are definitely worth seeing. Just do not sit up top by that bar in the Paramount in Huntington. People stood back there the entire event and spoke LOUDLY and were very rude when asked to be quiet. They annoyed everyone around us for about 10 rows.
One of the best comedy shows I have seen ever. He had us laughing for the entire show! Highly recommend.
He was just amazing, new material, jokes of the local area, and the same Jim Breuer style. Great show, I would go every time he comes into town.
Jim Breuer was hysterical! I will definitely see him again!
Jimmy Brewer still amazing. The Long Island jokes were so relevant and genius. Had the audience going crazy. The only thing I beg of Brewer is to please ditch the marriage warriors bit, the general idea is great, but I feel reading his previous saved texts was a little blah. I did lose focus at this point, funny yes, but that but can be strapped for sure. Everything else was great and was great to see Jimmy in action for the first time of my life, live. To the venue: LOGE level seats (I was sitting front row near ledge) need the chairs turned towards the stage. They are perpendicular to the performance which caused my neck to hurt all day on Sunday, along with the others I attended the show with. I couldn't turn my chair because I was in the middle of the row and would have to ask everybody else to turn also. Other than that, the Paramount is... PARAMOUNT!! Can't wait to see more shows.
Jim Breuer did a great clean show at the Paramount on Saturday 3/8/14. He is hysterical and the paramount was a great venue. Huntington sure attracts the crowds. Would see him again for sure. Love his silly laugh. It makes me laugh.
