![]() ![]() In the weekly juggling act that is “Gotham,” “Spirit of The Goat” was probably the most effective episode yet at keeping enough balls in the air in interesting ways. It exists and it is up to you if you want to turn it on and listen to it.A review of tonight's “Gotham” coming up just as soon as I get tangled in some hussy's demon purse… I say, ‘Here are some of my experiences.’ I am not saying what it is. Not going to sell you on what you should do. “For me, it exists in my own personal experiences. “Being on a higher spiritual level is a great thing, whether that is God or whatever you want to call it,” he said. ![]() While Breuer may call himself a “spiritual warrior,” it is not about any specific religion for him. And ever since, he has been headlining comedy tours across the nation. In 2010, Breuer released his autobiography, “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 following year, the lifelong metal head was selected by Metallica to present the band’s 30th anniversary show. What came out of that inspiration was a reinvigorated comic. ![]() For that, I will forever be thankful to him.” He gave me the inspiration to grow as a comedian. He saw something in you.’ And that blows my mind. I saw Sinbad (a few) days ago and he said, ‘Cosby doesn’t just show up for people. “I want to say, ‘Why me? I’m not a superstar.’ Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, those are superstars. I am still confused to this day,” he said. “I didn’t understand why Cosby reached out to me. But last month, he spoke with fellow comic and Cosby friend Sinbad, who put it in perspective for him. It was advice that Breuer said he still marvels at, and wondered about. When you are doing anything in life, if you are trying to appease an audience, you are not, and you will never become, who you are meant to be. He made me read a chapter in one of his books, which at first I thought was pompous, but then realized why he made me read it. “It’s good to be funny, but great to inspire. “Bill Cosby came on my radio show and he talked to me basically about inspiring people rather than just being funny,” Breuer said. Still, it was a conversation with comic legend Bill Cosby that persuaded Breuer to break away from his old comedy and rebuild his routine. He and his wife have been married for more than 20 years – before his “SNL” days – and have three daughters, ages 9, 12 and 15. My life isn’t like that.”īreuer’s life is that of a family man. The wave of comedy is that it’s all dark, everything sucks and we hate everything. It’s like musicians – here comes the guy in the clown outfit, here come the guys who dress like robots. “I think some comics (aren’t clean) for the shock value, or to be different. You naturally are not on guard 24/7,” he said. And while it might seem easy to work without profane language and illicit references, the comic said it’s actually the opposite. His act shifted from darker, off-color fare to stories about fatherhood and everyday relationships. But then in 2008, after six years away from stand-up, Breuer returned to the stage with a new focus, and that focus was his family.
