They call him the Bitter Buddha, comedian Eddie Pepitone is a master of the
dark art of comedy. Hailed as a modern day cross between Jackie Gleason,
Don Rickles and Eckart Tolle. Eddie is a force of nature on stage,
switching between social rage and self-doubt. His shows are an energetic
combo of calm and chaos, blue-collar angst and sardonic enlightenment. Few
comedians working today channel the power of the rant better than Eddie
Pepitone.
His most recent stand-up special For the Masses was released in June 2020,
which the New York Times listed as one of the best stand-up specials of
2020. In 2014, Eddie released In Ruins, his first stand-up that was shot at
The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY.
In addition to his regular stand-up shows, Eddie is a stand-out
comic/character actor. Beginning in New York City’s improv/sketch scene
(where he quickly became a regular face), and continuing on to recurring
roles on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and appearances on WTF with Marc
Maron Podcast. Most recently, Eddie can be seen in Max's Haley Quinn
spin-off Kite Man, Hell Yea! and Hulu's Ramy. Eddie has also appeared on
numerous comedy TV shows, including Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rick and Morty,
Reno 911!, 10 Year Old Tom, The Life and Times of Tim, Will & Grace, It’s
Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Love, The Sarah Silverman Program, Jimmy
Kimmel Live, Last Comic Standing, Chappelle’s Show, appearances on Bob’s
Burgers, and he’s a regular on Adult Swim’s Your Pretty Face is Going to
Hell. Fans also might recognize Pepitone from his role in the hit comedy
Old School, where he plays the role of 'Archer', one of the recruiting
pledges.
Eddie is the host of the podcast "Apocalypse Soon", which includes an
assortment of original characters, ranting, raving and all the things you
come to love from Eddie Pepitone.
