I am sad beyond words.
John Pinette, stand-up comedian extraordinaire, passed away
over the weekend, his death was attributed to natural causes.
He had ongoing health problems, most of which concerned his
weight and related issues.
I was fortunate enough to see him live on more than one
occasion and came away from his gigs smiling broadly.
When he first came into the limelight I thought to myself
“great, a heavy comic who is using his massive weight as the
center of his act…he won’t last!”
I actually tried to ignore his talents and pass him off as
a one trick pony.
I was wrong.
He was very funny, knew what he had, and made the most of it.
I’ll be posting some of his work this week and I will give
him a well deserved tribute on the show.
Goodbye John, you made the world a better place and we
thank you for it!

RIP Big Guy, you will be missed.
