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.
My husband and I love to see Jim Bruer everytime that he comes to town. However, he seems to have the same material everytime he comes. I was expecting a little more from the show, but it was the same family stuff he typically talks about.
Jim Breuer was one of the funniest stand up acts I have ever seen (and I go often), He is so relateable and he was out front afterward to meet the auidence - he was very accessable. I will be sure to see him again the next time he comes to Boston. I am hoping that next time to hear some of the Tracy Morgan impressions he does on the Stern show - that stuff is great
Just his giggle cracks you up and he looks so wasted
Hysterical!!!!! So glad I went....one of the best out there!!! Thanks Jim for a night of cheek hurting laughter!!!
I love this man's laugh to begin with but his stand up makes me cry out in laughter. I had a great time from begining to end and he left me definately wanting more! Great date night show. There was a little something for everyone to relate to, it's those real life experiences that make you laugh the most and that's just what you get when you see Jim Breuer. We had a blast! Thank you, Jim Breuer and the Wilbur Theater....our parking was validated at the door and drinks, although a little expensive were delicious!! Also, and definiately worth mentioning....opening act was AWESOME!
Jim was hysterical. I love his style! I love that he is not a dirty comdian so anyone can enjoy!
This show was hilarious right from the beginning. He covers topics that are relevant to late teens all the way through middle aged parents. People might think that since Jim has been around a while/has a family now, etc..that his material would dwindle into mundane family friendly comedy; and even though he does cover family topics, the comedy is definitely not lacking. He interacts with the crowd and his improv. is quick and witty. His energetic and sightly physical approach and his ability to pull out jokes and stories that make people laugh throughout the show (without swearing every two seconds) is truly a credit to his character. I was very happy with the show, and I think if anybody reading this has the chance to catch one, you should jump on it, cause you will not be disappointed!
Jim Breuer with his expressive brand of comedy had my sister and I laughing for a whole hour.
Jim Breuer's show was EXCELLENT! Would definitely go again!!
He was absolutely hilarious. One of the best shows I've seen.
I LAUGHED SO HARD I WAS CRYING AND THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK! MY FACE HURT THE WHOLE NEXT DAY!
We just attended Jim Breuer this past Friday the 11th at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston. The show was wonderful, funny and had a very prompt starting time. The only two things that I wish were a little different would be prehaps the show being a tad longer and the reserved table seating at Wilbur was like being in a sardine can! If you have any fears of small confined areas then floor seating is not a good option for you. The balcony looked a little more spacious with a good view. I would certainly return to see him again even in the small seating :) He made it worth it!!!
Must see. Great impressions. I have to write more because there is a character minimum in this review. OK, that did it.
Very funnny, and his opening act was great as well. I would definately go to see him again!
This show was fantastic. He was energetic and very funny. After the show he signed his dvd and took pictures with fans. Great guy and awesome show.
By far the funniest comedy show I have seen in a long time. From the moment he walked out to the time he finished, i was laughing non stop. I would go back and see him in a heartbeat!
Jim was incredible... hillarious!! My face actually hurt from laughing so much.. his new material, although different and more family oriented, is sooooo funny!! And he is such a nice guy too... he discounted his new DVD, it was only $10 to buy one after the show and not only did he sign that for me, he also signed my CD I had brought along and took a pic with me and spoke with me for a few moments... not only a great comedian but a great guy as well... thanks Jim for all the laughs!! GO SEE THIS GUY IF YOU GET THE CHANCE!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!
Great show! Will go see him again! The staff at the Wilbur Theater need to calm down a bit but otherwise they were ok.
absolutely hilarious! best stand up act i've seen by far!
Early set (7:00) was cut short for the 9:00 show so it was only an hour which is short for most shows. However, not a lot of dull moments so that makes up for it a little. I saw him 5 years ago and he was much more subdued this time but still wacky and loud. Lots of physical comedy, parenting jokes, and imitations. Very funny--would recommend.
