JIM BREUER LIVE - Saturday, Dec. 16, 2022  at 8:00pm. Breuer came to national attention during his seasons on Saturday Night Live (1995-98), a rebuilding era whose cast featured Will Ferrell, David Spade and Norm McDonald. Some even still associate him with “Half Baked,” a stoner comedy cult classic that starred Dave Chappelle. He also appeared alongside Kevin James on CBS’s “Kevin Can Wait” as well as many other popular films and late-night TV shows. Many know Breuer from the multitude of hilarious hours he’s spent as a guest on Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show.” Howard has hosted some of pop culture’s biggest comedy icons, yet Breuer is one of his favorite guests. His passionate video recaps of New York Mets games on social media are making a huge viral impact, with clips airing on the MLB Network and ESPN among others, and even introducing new fans to Breuer’s comedy.  Tickets range from $39 - $89.
