"This is one of the first comedy CD's that is funny all the way through the end. John Pinette had me laughing so much,I was crying. People were staring at me on the freeway wondering what was going on. John uses no profanity nor does he tear down anyone but of course himself. I've been passing this CD on to my family and friends and they love it too!"

Wonderful Comedian - Nice Guy

"I took my wife to see John, he's the only comedian she likes. Not because of his fat jokes but because he's really funny. He rarely uses profanity and his joke construction is on par with the best in the business. If you are a true fan of comedy and comedians you'll be able to tell the difference between a fat comedian who tells jokes and John who works on his material and changes it up until the final construction is perfected then he records that typically. He does change up the jokes at times pulling unnecessary pieces out but the basic concept is still intact. He's no George Carlin when it comes to volume of work and overall joke construction but look at some of George's early work and it's not too different from John's. A lot of repetion but that is what people want to hear from him. When you go to see Carlin you expect a different show with the occassional old routine thrown in for good measure. When you go to see John you go for the same reason you go to a music concert to hear the things you like. I've bought this CD even though I already own DVD's which contain the same material because I love listening to John in the car on trips. It's relaxing and is a great way to start a vacation."

"I'm a fan of John and only recently got around to purchasing this CD. I took it on a road trip with some friends and we almost had to turn it off, we were laughing so hard at some of the bits that I worried the driver might have an accident. This material is typical Pinette, well done, with relatively little salty language and honest, self-deprecating humor that appeals to everyone,old and young alike. Do yourself a favor, and buy this CD!"
