About
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.

by DownboundDoug on 5/23/11Starland Ballroom - SayrevilleThis tour Jim is doing a part stand-up, part rock concert show, with some comedy in it!! Jim is a great impressionist and can even scream with the best of the metal band singers. His comedy is even family friendly. All in all, had a great time with my son, my girlfriend and her son.

by EarlyMann on 5/23/11Starland Ballroom - SayrevilleJim's new comedy tour is fantastic! It is worth even more than what ticket prices are! Your typical comedy show is about an hour...Jim's new Heavy Metal Family Man tour is about 2.5 hours!!! Great stand up to start, then followed by a unique (to say the LEAST), clever musical play list with blended comedy in-between! ROFL funny!!! SEE IT!!!

by zeek1 on 3/29/11F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreThis is the fourth time we have seen Jim on stage, and as always he is extremely funny. It was great to hear the new stories, especially "Sears". We have never heard of Ralphie May and didn't expect his type of comedy. All I can say, if we were on the end of the row, we would have left.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Monsters of Comedy more than worth the money!
by DStela on 3/29/11F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreI attended this event this past Saturday night and I can honestly say that the show was worth much more than the cost of the tickets. The first comedian was even funny, but Breuer and May really brought it home with their material and quick improvs throughout the night. The show began at 8 and ran straight through the 11:00 hour. It was over three hours of pure comic genius, with no intermission. One of the best elements was the difference in the type of comedy Breuer and May provided. Breuer was very annimated, including sound effects, during his delivery of clean comedy, while May spiced it up in his delivery by tackeling more politically incorrect and very real topics in a very unrestricted, vocal manner. The best way to sum up this show is HYSTERICAL!!!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Jim Breuer was incredibly funny
by Anonymous on 3/28/11F. M. Kirby Center - Wilkes-BarreI've heard Breuer on the Stern show many times over the years but until now have never seen him live. He was absolutely incredible. I laughed the entire time non-stop.....all kidding aside, non-stop! Jim alone made the ticket worth the price. Ralphie May was very good as well, he performed for 2 hours straight and had some really funny moments.
