With a live band on stage, Breuer does nearly an hour of stand-up comedy, discussing everything from the joys of teen drinking, to the war against terrorism to meeting his idol, Jack Nicholson. The highlight of the show for Rough Edge readers, however, has to be Breuer's celebration of the hard rock of Judas Priest and AC/DC and his dead-on impersonation of Brian Johnson doing a metal version of the "Hokey Pokey." Got to be seen to be believed. For more information, check out www.comedycentral.com...
