john pinette played the local casino last saturday night
it was packed, the people laughed
he dissed and dished on a variety of subjects
but his favorite, clearly is food
he starts recalling his early daze in boston
and his msg induced comas at the combo
chinese restaurant/comedy club
and how after the 4th hour at the buffet
the owner would come out and try to get him to stop
'you go nowwww' ...'you git outta ma prace'
when describing his own stand-up, pinette says
'i talk about my life... it is the funniest thing I can think of'
his current comedy special still hungry
debuts on comedy central on july 29 on dvd on august 2
the food-obsessed, storytelling pinette delivery is
smart and very original, ...it's observations on everyday life
he caught his big break when he toured with frank sinatra
the high point of his career is when he starred on broadway
in the tony award winning play, hairspray
'hey john, you wanna work on broardway...
- well, yes
here, put on this dress...'
he talks about how tough it is for men to wear pantyhose
but he liked it and ... he didn't like it
if you have a chance to go see him...
either at the buffet or doing his act on stage, go
you'll like it
