Jim Breuer

The infamous "Goat Boy" from Saturday Night Live

Jim Breuer’s book title says it all: I’m Not High (But I’ve Got a Lot of Crazy Stories About Life as a Goat Boy, a Dad and a Spiritual Warrior). The 2010 memoir goes behind the scenes at “Saturday Night Live,” recaps adventures with Dave Chapelle and touches on family life, proving the notoriously stoner-eyed standup is “more than just a goofball,” as Publishers Weekly writes. That’s not to say you won’t laugh when he takes the stage at Paramount Theatre in what’s billed as a “non-vulgarity show.” TheHalf Baked star, Comedy Central favorite and father of three can just as easily crack jokes about sleep-deprived wives and crappy kids’ music. And you never know when “Goat Boy” will make a cameo.

Paramount Theater, Rutland, Vermont Tickets: 22.50-35.50
