Jim Breuer
Wednesday, Feb. 25
Celebrity Theatre, 40 N. 32nd St.
Jim Breuer is the comic behind SNL’s cult-favorite character Goat Boy and gained acclaim for his spot-on impression of Joe Pesci. Beyond the sketch stage, he starred in the 1998 stoner comedy classic “Half Baked” with Dave Chappelle. During his tours, Breuer offers high-energy, family-centric storytelling that often touches on marriage, parenting three daughters and his experiences as a caregiver for his elderly parents. Despite his early associations with “stoner humor,” his modern standup is notably clean, with the comedian avoiding profanity for over a decade. He also frequently incorporates his love for heavy metal into his performances, performing comedic impressions of rock icons like Brian Johnson of AC/DC.
