"I'm in a Dress! I have no eyebrows! I play a woman eight shows a week! I'm going to start getting my Period! What if I get pregnant, where am I going to put a baby?"
you probably dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother lately =)
I'm so glad there's a footage of what John talked about in his act. Awesome performance. John Pinette has helped me get through some sad times. I would burst out laughing watching his stand-up when nothing else made me laugh. R.I.P.
Ditto. I saw him live at the Stress Factory in New Bruns. NJ and met him. What a love! I wish I could have seen him in this but thank goodness for all his standup here. He is missed more than I can say.
*Looking back at the conductor and orchestra* "We're ready now!" Buahahaha! What a talent! Pinette was a man who could make you laugh without even saying anything. Wish he wasn't taken so soon. RIP, John!
I'm going to say this comment not to contradict you but to celebrate John. The greatest loss was to himself. It's so easy to see that that man loved being alive

"I can hear the bells...maybe it's the ice cream man. Hold on!"
RIP John. You were amazing.

@Adrian Andres Definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
He was one of the best. God took him away too soon at age 50.

That's gotta be the sweetest Edna ever. Thanks John... for all the laughs.
oh my god john totally broke character but in an amazing way and he totally pulled it off. RIP john you were totally awesome
One of my favorite people ever. He should have been cast in the movie. Bless you John Pinette for giving me laughter.
I'll always attest to John Pinette being the best Edna ever, and this video is proof. RIP John. Thank you for all the laughs.

R.I.P John Pinette. Your Edna Turnblad was so funny and entertaining. Can't believe god took you from us too early.
These two Actors especially John Pinette as Edna killed this scene better than any other Actors who played these two characters.
I am getting ready to play edna in a community theater production and I am definitley using John as inspiration.
Wow I remember him talking about this in a stand-up but seeing it myself he knocked it out of the park.
"some of you will have to help". I'm dying over here. miss you and love you John...
There goes the fourth wall. 🤣
Inlove how comfortable John is here. It's such a daring role, and he's really at home here.
I saw this show with John and I laugh so hard I cry. Thank you for putting this here.
He was such a talent. What a terrible loss to the world of theater and stand up comedy.
I'm going to say this comment not to contradict you but to celebrate John. The greatest loss was to himself. It's so easy to see that that man loved being alive
I think John Pinette was the best Edna to ever hit the stage. R.I.P.
He sings very well 💞 Greetings from Brazil 😘😘😘
One of my fave Ednas. Rest in Paradise, John Pinette!
Thank you so very much for this! So nice to see that John Pinette is not only a brilliant comedian but an amazing actor!
Thank you for posting this! After watching his stand up of talking about this role, this is the best one showing him in the performance.
I'm so thrilled there is footage of this performance!😍. He was amazing. Than you!
Thank you for posting this video. I loved this performance so much. John was a phenomenal Edna and made this number a vaudeville masterpiece.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I love John Pinette!!! I would so love to see this whole thing live!!! A++++
This was totally awesome. RIP john
Is it me or does John pinette make a pretty lady.
The best drag queens are the fat ones. It smoothes the edges and hides the adams apple.
It's you.
He kinda sounds like Nathan Lane. He's a really good Edna :)
"carry me upstairs" lmfao
"Someone will have to help". HAHA
John can do anything, he's the greatest. A great personality and showman. His comedy is amonst the greatest. The likes of Cosby !!!
So much talent
RIP Mr. Pinette...
Dude this song I love it ! My dead grandmother love it too ! It mKes me cry Now :(
timeless to me john pinette .
It’s intriguing, make's me laugh with the reference to boobs. Just have to add this
I adore John and I miss him
this is why i
one of the best edna's i ever saw. what a loss.
Loved this!
They have both gone. Usually corpsing isn’t acceptable but in their case it’s hilarious.
@HHS10hhs It's actually Stephen DeRosa, the Baker from the ITW revival. I can see why you would get them mixed up though.
That was great
I got to see him play that role in NY about 6 years ago.
@Lionkingonstage What did he say on 6:57-7:01.
Thanks for posting!
I looooove john pinette hes soooo funny
sooo funny how he'd get that little guy laughing xD i cant believe how quickly and completely he turned beet red a couple times haha how cute
John Pinette didn’t play Edna...he became Edna. He was even frightened that he was going to get a period! RIP Baby.
carry me upstairs :) somebody will have to help LMAO
I’M IN A DRESS! I HAVE NO EYEBROWS!
Best. Edna. Ever.
Do you have him in You Can't Stop The Beat??
wonderfull the best
John Pinette ROCKS!!!
john sounds like timon from the lion king
Soo good.
great!
Wilbur starts losing it around 6:16 ^_^
I love his face when he hits the high note he looks so creepy
The best!
Who is John's costar who keeps cracking a smile?
Stephen DeRosa
I love this XD
Too funny
Is that Dan Castellaneta?
Stephen DeRosa.
@Lionkingonstage He said not John!
Is it right that I heard Wilbur say shalom? That means hello in Hebrew....:/
Jaciboid56 yep lol
Look like he hated doing this
who's that playing Wilbur
Stephan DeRosa
That's amazing that John could play a fat woman
@Lionkingonstage - - clearly you can't read. I said "NOT JOHN"
they are both great and you are a troll.
I wonder what his mother looked like?!
Does anyone else think he sounds like Rosie O'Donell? xD
That doesn't make him an actor. And besides, JOHN is a ReALLY good comedian, AND a REALLY good actor. Hmmm.
he actually does look like a woman here.
JOHN WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAN, its funny but still, WHAT THE BLUE FLYING HELL
Imagine Nathan Lane playing Edna!
Phantom Phan Oh my god Yes!!!! He would be so funny 😍
Fun fact: he sang the original demo of "You're Timeless to Me"
I think Micky Dolenz was better. JMO
weird
This guy - not John - is a horrendous actor.
