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.
I took 3 people to the show with me and both the opening act as well as Jim's set were so comical without the use of profanity in a way in which made my friends literally cry. I was more than satisfied with my seats that were purchased and would highly recommend anyone who is considering to go see this event to quit thinking and just do it as you won't be disappointed!
just go see him, his shows are amazing. Non stop laughs.
He was so funny. He interacted with the audience. His opening act was great also.
Hysterical as expected. Opening act was funny too. Wish show was a bit longer.
Jim Bruer was simply amazing! I knew he was a good comedian, but after seeing his show, he is beyond great! Laughed through out his whole show! Very versitile and all with no profanity! That's how you know it's a great comedian, a must see!
The show was very funny. Didn't expect it to be that funny. The comedian before was funny also
This was the first time that I've ever seen Jim Breuer live. We had great seats, first row loge, in a very nice venue. The opening comic was funny and kept his set short. Jim Breuer was so funny that everyone in my party was laughing until they cried. He hit it out of the park!
I took my fiancé to see Jim for his birthday. We are huge fans of him. My fiancé grew up watching him and really helped him get through some tough times with his humor. We were a little worried we might get there and see a bit that we already knew. Much to our surprise it was a whole new comedy act! It was so nice to see our favorite comedian love and to hear new material from him!
Jim Breur has been on my list of comedians to see for a while now. I have heard him a few times on the Howard Stern show, and always was a great guest. His performance did not disappoint & would recommend him other friends.
Never laughed so hard!! Jim was available after the show for autographs and even just a handshake...He didn't rush out he stayed and spoke to everyone who wanted to....what a great performer and entertainer!!!
We had a great time. Jim's the best. Down right hilarious. :)
I have been a huge fan of Jim Breuer for a long time and his comedy did not disappoint at the show. He did all new material and I enjoyed every minute of it. The opening act was not too funny though.
I've have never seen any of Jim Breuer's stand up before. All I knew of him was Half Baked and SNL skits. I'm glad I listened to my wife and went to see him live. He is one of the best story telling comedians out. He took current events and his life's stories and created an atmosphere that made the audience feel as if we were in our backyard drinking a beer while laughing our butts off with a good friend. We would gladly see him again.
Nobody can do it like Breuer! A lot of comedians ramble off a series of setups and punchlines, but Jim Breuer is a true genius of the craft of storytelling.
Jim and Rich were great, couldn't have asked for a better show. I do have one criticism though which has nothing to do with Jim or Rich. Stiefel Theater needs to do something about their audio system. I don't know if it is low quality equipment or low quality staff, but several times throughout the show the entire audience cringed in pain from the volume and distortion.
Amazingly funny guy!! I would definitely go see him over and over again. Definitely worth the money to go see.
One of the best comedians out there. Well worth the money.
Jim Breuer is a comedic genius! Hands down the best comedy event we have ever attended. He is hilarious & just an all around nice guy! He offered a meet & greet with pictures at the end which was just unforgettable!!
My wife and I laughed so hard we had tears. What a great show! Plz bring him back again so we can bring family and friends. He stayed for pictures afterwards so we got to meet him briefly and yes we got a picture w him. He was having a ball w the photo shoots as was everyone else. Great time! Can't wait to go back and see him again.
My eyes hurt from tears of laughter!!! Jim is a master!
