John Pinette: Still Hungry

This concert DVD starts out kind of slow as Pinette, a big guy with a big appetite, centers all his jokes on food. It’s kind of funny, but kind of predictable, too. Around 10 minutes into the show, though. Pinette stops with the fat jokes and starts telling stories about his life, stories that grow increasingly hilarious as the show movies along. Sure, he still throws in a fat joke here and there, and some of them are pretty funny, especially when they’re not piled on top of each other, but it’s the humanity of his humor that makes Pinette such an enjoyable performer.
