Comedian Jim Breuer: Ego vs. Payout at Gator Growl
Learn how a major college event taught Jim Breuer humbling lessons about ego, the price of selling out, and the true measure of professional commitment in comedy.
Short Summary
- Breuer accepted a high-paying, heavily restricted gig, contrasting sharply with David Tell's commitment to raw performance integrity.
- Breuer received overwhelming booing when trying to follow David Tell's boundary-pushing, "kill or be killed" set.
- The experience revealed that chasing the money instantly shows on stage, regardless of prior success or fame. This story details Breuer's experience headlining the Gator Growl in 1999 after Saturday Night Live, where strict "clean act" rules challenged his ego and set him up for failure against a more authentic performer.

Insomniac was the best show ever
Love your stories Jim, you're a great comic, so humble and honest.
I would love to see the clips of that show.
Dave is the certified GOAT!
I went to see the O&A comedy tour at Borgata years ago. Had to be prior to 2015. Breuer went on just before Dave Attell and Breuer was unbelievably funny and Attell even commented how difficult it was to follow him that night
So happy you have this channel Jim. It's a respite from all the depressing evil crap out there. Thank you 🤗
Dave knowing he wasn't going to get paid, yet knew people would remember his name is so brilliant.
His comment about the Arabian comic festival, without even hinting at it
"I had no clue. I went to a community college for two hours." 😆
This youtube series should count
