John Pinette

This week... John Pinette at the Improv at City Place, Palm Beach. The best show ever!

Pinette is top caliber comedian and performer. I could barely kept the camera steady for laughing so hard! Here is some bio on Pinette. Where ever you are... you have to go see him.

Shortly after beginning his new career as a stand-up comic, he began touring comedy clubs all across the country, and got his big break when he was asked to tour with Frank Sinatra[citation needed]. Since then, John has also become a regular guest on The Tonight Show and The View. [2]

Pinette has also enjoyed a long acting career in both television and film. Duets, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Dear God, starring Greg Kinnear, and Junior, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger are just a few of John’s film credits. He was a series regular on the hit series Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and starred as the car-jack victim in the final episode of Seinfeld. Pinette was also seen in the summer of 2004 as the lovable Bumpo in Artisan Entertainment’s The Punisher, starring Thomas Jane and John Travolta.[1]

Pinette was named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards in 1999 and has received a Gemini Award nomination for his televised performance at the Montreal Comedy Festival in 2000.[1]

In 2004, Pinette joined the touring cast of the musical Hairspray in the role of Edna Turnblad where he replaced Bruce Vilanch.[3][4] He later went on to again replace Bruce Vilanch in the Broadway production in 2005, and continued in the role until May 28, 2006.[5][6]. In his 2006 concert I'm Starvin'.

The one and only Jackie Mason

The other night I shot the one and only Jackie Mason. Born in 1936 - this legendary comic is still working.

Mason's standup rings of comedy of another era and is directed mainly to Jewish audiences. I brought a couple of my friends who lacked the Jewish cultural experience and I can say, they were pretty lost with many of his jokes. You have to be familiar with Jewish culture to get Mason's punch lines!

Although Mason is not my kind of comic I hold his comic spirit in great reverance. Still working and making people laugh!
