John Pinette is no rookie to the stage. For the past 16 years, he's been in entertainment one way or another. Once he realized he could use his knack to make people laugh and turn it into a career, he left his job as an accountant and began touring comedy clubs around the country. When describing his own stand-up, Pinette says, "I talk about my life; it is the funniest thing I can think of."
