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.
Great standup act. He performed a mix of the stuff he's known for and great at (e.g., goatboy, Half-Baked stories, impressions, etc.) with lots of physical comedy. He had everyone in stitches - and they don't serve drinks at the 6th & I HIstoric Synagogue.
Jimmy was fantastic! Would highly recommend it. He is hysterical and knows how to rock the crowd. I hope he comes to DC more often!!! DC loves Breuer. - The Rick
This show was even better than i thought it was going to be. Jim Breuer is freakin hilarious. Great bits about his kids and parents! I never stopped laughing.
My husband and I went with 6 of our friends and we were all laughing so hard we were crying! Would definitely recommend the show to others- go see him live!!!
Normally when I receive an opportunity to review something, I pass it up. I'm a busy girl! But when I saw the option to review this event pop up in my inbox this morning, I jumped at the chance to speak my mind. So, here it is: This. Was. Hilarious. I used to be a fan of Goat Boy when I was a kid (and Half Baked as I got older...) so when I saw Breuer was coming to DC, I called up my childhood best bud and ordered tickets, not really knowing what to expect. Maybe it was not having any expectations, but, seriously, this is one of the best comedy shows I've ever been to! And I've seen a lot of them. Joke after joke after joke was hilarious, laugh-out-loud funny. If it had been socially acceptable, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing at points. I honestly was laughing for almost the entire show (which explains why I woke up this morning with very sore cheeks...). Breuer is hilarious, flat out funny, and downright worth seeing. I'm already hoping he comes back to DC soon and I'm definitely ordering a copy of his DVD ASAP. If you have a chance, SEE THIS SHOW. I'm telling you -- it's absolutely worth every penny! PS -- The guy who opened for him was pretty awesome too. Normally, I'm like, "Okay, let's get the real reason I came here on the stage," but he was cracking me up!
He is one of the most playful & funny comedians around today. I am a regular at the Improv & Jim Breuer tops them all!
I laughed my ass off the whole show very funny guy
Jim Breuer put on a great show. My husband and I laughed until our cheeks hurt.
Clean, no swear words, no lewd jokes. Loved it!!! Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard, there were times I was hoping he'd pause so I could catch my breath! My cheeks and my sides hurt, in a good way! I'm already wanting to see his show again. His opening act was great too - "D", that's all I caught. Good time!
Jim Breuer was absolutely awesome. He delivered great laughs, but also made me think. It looks like the man loves his family, but he is not shy to share some smart-ass insights about how it possibly can make a mess out of your life. That was a lot of wisdom for one night of comedy ))))
his facial expressions are just crazy he does a mean dave chappelle impersonation
I laughed so hard at this show my throat was hurting. It's a big difference between seeing a show at the local comedy club and seeing some professional comedians. Well worth the $30 ticket!
JIM BREUER WAS INCREDIBLY HILARIOUS, I'VE BEEN TO ALOT OF SHOWS AND SEEN THE BEST COMEDIANS IN THE WORLD, BUT BREUER'S SHOW WAS SIDE SPLITTING HILARIOUS. HE MADE ME BELLY LAUGH, HE MADE MY CHEST HURT AND IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN. THIS IS THE ONLY SHOW THAT I'VE SEEN WHERE I WAS LAUGHING NONSTOP THROUGH THE ENTIRE SHOW FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END. I HOPE THAT HE COMES BACK TO SEATTLE AGAIN AND IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO SEE HIM DONT MISS THE CHANCE TO CHECK OUT HIS SHOW. HE'S THE GREATEST GUEST ON STERN, HAS A GREAT SHOW ON SIRIUS AND I RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE TO SEE HIM IF YOU WANT TO LAUGH.
Jim Breuer put on a very good show....had a great time!
Jim Breuer was great! We laughed so loud that we cried.
I saw Jim at the Snoqualmie Casino and he was hilarious! I would recommend seeing Jim to anyone, he is funny and energetic and brings out some of his old characters and stories. If he comes to your town go see him, don't contemplate, just go!
Jim Breuer was amazing. Ended up paying $45 bucks for a ticket but in the end it was well worth it. Seats were great, venue was pretty cool, and the show delivered the laughs. Its been forever since I laughed that hard. Breuer manages to make you laugh for the whole time without once using a swear word. I was very impressed by his comedy and his class.
