Here's some bio material on Breuer, courtesy of the Rialto Square Theatre in downtown Joliet:

"Breuer began his stand-up career in Clearwater, FL in 1989. He came to national attention when he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live from 1995-1998. He appeared alongside cast members Will Ferrell, David Spade, and Norm McDonald. Many early fans might know him by one of his much-loved SNL character, “Goat Boy” or for his uncanny Joe Pesci impressions. He also starred in the stoner comedy flick, Half Baked alongside Dave Chappelle with featured cameos from Willie Nelson, Snoop Dog and Tommy Chong.

"Breuer was named one of Comedy Central’s “100 Greatest Standups of All Time” and has gone on to have a mega successful career as stand up comedian.

"The crazy state of the world today makes Breuer’s upcoming 2018 tour, Jim Breuer Live all the more essential, as we seek perspective and comic relief from the day to day insanity that drives our 24/7 news cycle and social media. Breuer’s set will be decidedly non-political, but he will have much to impart about the foolishness of ruining our lives over media-generated frenzies that we have no control over."
