Comedian Jim Breuer says he's "absolutely not" performing shows at venues that require proof of COVID-19 vaccinations, calling the public health measures "segregation."
"Due to the segregation of them forcing people to show up with vaccination — to prove you're vaccinated, to prove you've had a shot — I'm absolutely not doing those shows," Breuer said in a recent Facebook Live post.
Announcing he was canceling scheduled performances in Michigan and New Jersey, Breuer said, "What these establishments are doing are wrong. What this dictatorship is doing is wrong."
"I know I'm going to sacrifice a lot of money, but I'm not going to be enslaved by the system, or by money, and nor should anyone that wants to laugh or be entertained," the 54-year-old "Saturday Night Live" alum said.
Both venues had announced policies requiring that audience members show proof of full vaccination amid the surge in COVID-19 cases across the country due to the highly contagious delta variant. The majority of recent coronavirus-related hospitalizations and deaths have been among unvaccinated individuals.
"I have to stick with my morals. I have to stick with what I know is right. As a human to another human, when you have to be forced, bribed, dictated — which is basically what is going on," Breuer said.
Employers scramble to secure vaccine verification systems Three in five back Biden vaccine requirement for businesses "I had COVID," Breuer said. "My wife, stage IV cancer, had COVID. My daughter had COVID," he told his fans.
"No matter what your feelings are in it — I don't care if you're vaccinated. That's great. It's a choice," Breuer said, before indicating that he would tune out critics of his stance.
"If you have anything else to say, I honestly don't care. So don't leave comments going, 'Oh this is a good thing.' I highly disagree with you and I will always disagree with you."
Can we start to post Comedians and Musicians who refuse to perform at Vaxx required venues. I can start: Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Jim Breuer
Good for him.
good for him. He has guts.
I don’t know who he is, but I will look him up.
Is he joking?
Du Dum Pssh
I did not realize comedians were even performing any more. I guess that was just the college circuit which was killed by triggered college snowflakes.
He’s my boy here in Hellywood :) He played one of the greatest potheads’ in movie history in Half Baked but he’s not really into pot and if you ever read his book, anyone here can relate. Married to the same lady for 20 plus years and I know the couple and their kids. Great dude.
This is a great segment with Bruer and Anthony Cumia. Really funny. A lot of truth. A lot of cussing - just an FYI
He was on SNL for a while. Said it was a hostile environment
Lots of talk about the COVID and vax stupidity.
Beat me to it. Jim was great on this.
Goat Boy!

The man takes his vow seriously.
That alone speaks well of him. Great to hear!
Story begins at 1:25.
I just watched the first seven minutes and I think I have found my new favorite comedian. Absolutely hysterical.
I’ve seen him before, and have always found him very funny.
This video really resonates with me, as he is humorously conveying EXACTLY how have felt about this crap since last March. My Spidey-sense was reading off the chart even back then.
Thanks for posting this.
Well known on SNL for doing over the top but hilarious Joe Pesci impressions as a Goodfella, clubbing everybody with a baseball bat. Also did a very funny thing “somewhere” I can’t remember, where, on a table with no props except his hands, he mimicked something I didn’t think anyone could ever capture. A dog seized by the need to poop. And then doing it. Might have been a second dog (hand) involved also. It is just possible it’s on youtube. I will check.
Played Joe Pesci on SNL as host of
The Joe Pesci show. Great imitation.
Alec Baldwin played DeNiro. On one
show the real Pesci and DeNiro show up
(vid may be on DailyMotion).
One Joe Pesci Show on SNL had Will Ferrell as “Spider”, the character first shot in
the foot and then killed by Tommy in GoodFellas. Michael Imperioli played the role in GoodFellas.Great in joke in
The Sopranos—Imperioli’s character Chris
shoots a bakery worker in the foot.
As the worker moans in pain,Imperioli/
Chris says, “Hey—it happens!”
Ah was typing my comment about
the Pesci impressions as you were posting
