“Still Hungry” is the eagerly-anticipated follow-up to John Pinette's record-breaking “I'm Starvin” comedy special. In this sold-out concert taped at Chicago's famed Vic Theater, the food-obsessed, storytelling Broadway and television star delivers his smart, original, Bill Cosby-influenced observations on everyday life.

John is a funny funny man, nice person too
This DVD is just candy for any John Pinette fan. You just can't get enough of it.John is one of those rare comedians who can talk about a single theme year after year and yet has audiences holding their sides. He talks a lot about food. You just never know where he's going with it. He is hilarious to say the least.Some of the topics in this one are the cake boss, Haggis in Scotland, Gluten story, the extended warranty, the toaster adoption and my favorite about the beavertail which he had to ice skate to get to....(I would say nay nay). Why you ask, because a beavertail is fried dough covered in chocolate and M&Ms. and being John, he wanted one.....bad..... nuff said... bedlam ensues.......I couldn't wait to get my hands on this dvd, since I knew it was about a half hour longer than the Comedy Central special where they aired a condensed version of it in August 2011. I hesitated to even watch the special on tv, because I knew I would be seeing John in person at the Sam's Town Casino in Tunica Ms. a few weeks later. I couldn't resist. I watched it all and was glad to hear some new material from John. He is in rare form in this one.I have two of his previous DVDs(I say Nay Nay & I'm Starvin) which are most excellent in their own right. If you have those and are wondering about this one, it's just as good and perhaps a bit longer in length. It's an excellent value for the dollars.It has some good extras. I especially enjoyed the part where he went outside a theater to meet some of his fans standing in the rain. I can tell you from experience that he is most gracious when interacting with his fans. There is not one bit of arrogance in him.John has become famous talking about buffets and as fate would have it, on the day of his show, I was walking out of the casino into the lobby area next to the players club and the buffet, and there is John Pinette coming in the door. I'm sure I couldn't wipe the grin off of my face as I approached him and I know he could tell he had been spotted. He smiled and we shook hands. I told him I was a big fan and I didn't expect to run into him before the show. I had brought my two DVD covers with me in the hope I could get them signed. There I was speaking to him and didn't have them with me(dang it). When I told him this, without blinking I swear he raised his voice and said (as only he could).... "YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD BE AT THE BUFFET!!!" and gestured to the entrance to the buffet 30 feet from where we stood. Needless to say, I was in stitches and somehow the autograph didn't matter anymore. I had a story to tell that I would never forget. He smiled again and we parted.Later that night, I went to the show with my dvd covers in hand hoping maybe I could catch him after the show. Not only did he give us about an hour and forty minutes without hardly taking a breath so we could catch ours, I was in for another treat after the show. We heard side splitting story after story. It was so funny. That man ain't right! He told some old stories and many new ones. Some with a new twist which made them new again. I was very entertained.After the show, John came out the side door beside the stage and came right out in front of the stage and greeted people, signed autographs and took pictures for about 30-45 minutes, at least. When he posed for pictures, he always made the people posing laugh, because he would go into character and say things like "You Go Now", or "Get out of the line", or "How big is a small?". Everyone laughed. It was like getting a whole other show experience. Needless to say, I got my two dvds signed and personalized with an inscription. It's a night I will never forget. On one of my dvds, he wrote "You go now!!! Best Wishes" and on the other one he wrote "The small is small, Best Wishes. If you don't know what those inside jokes mean, you haven't heard enough of John Pinette and you should buy all three of his dvds today. I have rarely seen a celebrity more concerned with making sure every fan who wanted to get the chance to meet and greet actually got it. He was in no hurry. It was very refreshing and will only serve to further endear him to everyone who was there that night. I can't say he does that every night, as I have only seen him once. I am sure some crowds would be too large, but I bet it's a regular activity for him. I think he really enjoyed it as much as the fans. He's just super.For any on the fence about John Pinette, I would simply say this, experience his unique brand of raging comedy for yourself, whether on dvd or better yet in person. Once you do that just once, I think you will be a fan for life.... as am I. He's tops. This DVD rocks. Get it.

Now I am always hungry
Still Hungry was almost as good as I'm Starving, but not quite if all you look for is buffet jokes. John Finally delves into other areas, that always have a hook into something else further in the stand up that has to do with food. I have all of John's DVD's and some CD's, and have seen him in DC once also. I am amazed that a kid from Melrose Mass. can talk about food so much better than those Chef shows on TV, but I still don't like Turnips. You can't make me like turnips!! Nay Nay I hate them things!!I bought the DVD from Amazon, and waited until Christmas day to show it at my house because my kids were home from College. They also LOVE John and his delivery, so as a family, dinner waited until we all stopped laughing from his show. The we were Starvin'!! John, this keeps your string going strong, and I look forward to seeing you live again.I first watched I'm Starvin' when I traveled the country and couldn't sleep while on the West Coast, so I clicked on Comedy Channel and saw John on and finally bought the DVD, which includes bonus footage. My father, who was dying from Pulminary fibroids, literally could not breathe so we called 911. He was laughing so hard that his oxygen couldn't overcome his exhale!!So when this came out, I HAD to send to my Mom, who enjoyed John along with my Dad. She was laughing so much from his show, that my sister sent me a video of her crying at his delivery.Well, he West Coast actually did the same as I did- got all thier kids together and had a John-a-thon - watching I'm Starvin and Still Hungry back to back before eating Christmas Dinner.The outcome was the same as the east Coast - John - you continue to amaze us, so keep them coming.

I love the humor of John Pinette - he was the ...
I love the humor of John Pinette - he was the greatest! Clean mouth, doesn't pick on any celebrity or politician - and has you rolling on the floor just laughing at his view of the obvious. The one about Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons is a classic. Now when I go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond I actually want to ask people if they have a coupon - and if they don't have one I feel like putting my hand on their arm and saying, in a soft voice, "Honey, you don't have a coupon? Are you OK? Do you know your name, do you know how to get back home?" I was so sad when he passed away. We lost one of the funniest and most original comediennes in our country. You can listen to this over and over - and each time it will crack you up.

One of the best comedians of all time.
John was one of the most gifted comics I have ever seen. Our family quotes him all the time and his comedy never goes stale. Kind humor and he made us laugh at a time when we really needed to. A true gift. He passed way too young and we lost a treasure. I liked his first DVD (I’m hungry) maybe a little better, but this one is great too!
S**!
Even though he died his ability to people laff 1 of top 25 comics of all time !
Love comedy and see comedians when we have a chance and John Pinette delivers and can even cracks himself up through out his performances !

Hooray for John Pinette
I have waited for John Pinette to release a new DVD. I watched his TV special that was on in July on Comedy Central. This DVD is longer by 30 minutes, and is worth every penny. There is no other comic like Mr. Pinette who can make standing in a long unmoving line so funny. Alot of his bits are about food. There are no bad cuss words, except for one instance where he blurts out the F word. But that is a singlular incident so your kids can watch this. He has at least 2 other DVDs available: Say Nay Nay, and I'm Starving that are absolute musts.

Another Great Comedian Gone Too Soon
Too bad he died so young. He's very funny and anyone can relate to his food, exercise, etc. jokes. This and his "I'm Starvin'" DVD's are both excellent. There are some repeated parts but because it's live stand up they're not exactly the same and there are still enough differences to enjoy having both. For about $10 each (including taxes and shipping), They're perfect to put on whenever you need a quick and guaranteed laugh, and the whole family can watch it.

Laugh a minute
This is a hysterically funny DVD and haven't laughed so much in ages. If you want a good laugh buy it, speed and condition of item was fantastic - recommend this seller greatly.

Hungry for laughs? Pinette satisfies!
So sad we lost this beloved comic too soon, but he lives on in our hearts and still makes us smile. Great show and some nice behind the scenes extras on the DVD. I bought this as a companion to "I'm Starvin!" for a Pinette marathon of mirth. Thanks for the laughs, John, we will never forget you!

This may be the funniest man alive.
I have three John Pinette DVDs. I have watched them so many times, I could do his entire repertoire by heart - though I wouldn't be as funny. He's still funny.I watch 'em again and again. They're funny if you turn the sound off. They're funny if you turn the picture off.If you need to laugh, get any of his DVDs. If you REALLY need to laugh, get 'em all!
