John Pinette

John Pinette is a comedian that was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts and began a career in accounting before he was urged by friends to leave his job in order to pursue stand-up comedy. He began touring the comedy club circuit in the 1980s and over the years he became known for his hilarious impressions of the Chipmunks, Elvis Presley, Gollum (from Lord of the Rings), and Marlon Brando, among others.

John Pinette performances are always memorable and packed events, especially when he performs at smaller venues, but the performer is arguably as well known for his appearances in various films including Junior (1994), Duets (2000), and The Punisher (2004). In 2004, Pinette joined the touring cast of Hairspray in the role of Edna Turnblad and continued the same role on Broadway until 2006. The comedian has been known to belt out a song like “Over the Rainbow” during his live stand-up routines.
