Angry Fat Man - but funny

John Pinette has had an illustrious career as both a stand-up comedian and actor.  He has a comedy special titled I’m Starvin’ which was a follow up to his enormously successful CD Show Me That Buffet.

Pinette was born just outside Boston, Massachusetts and in 1999 he was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards.  He might be familiar to you as the car-jack victim in the final episode of Seinfeld.

An accountant early in life, who would have thought he’d show up on Broadway – as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray (2005 – 2006).

This clip is from his 2006 concert I’m Starvin’.

There is nothing funnier than a hungry fat man.
