A stand-up comedian since his high school days at Valley Stream Central High School in Valley Stream, New York, Jim Breuer 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.

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. After a four-year stint on “SNL,” Jim starred in the movie “Half Baked “alongside Dave Chappelle.

That summer, MTV also invited the comedian to co-host the popular show “MTV’s Beach House.” 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 most recently, “Beer League.”

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 and Metallica singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” 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.” It was this act that garnered him one of Comedy Central’s “100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time”

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.

In 2004, Jim began his career at Sirius Satellite Radio as the host of his own show “Breuer Unleashed” on RawDog 104.

Jim currently resides in New Jersey with his wife and three daughters. He enjoys spending time with his family, playing pick-up games of baseball, softball and Wiffle ball and watching the New York Mets.
