 **Please join us for a Special Q&A with comic legend Eddie Pepitone and director Steven Feinartz on Friday, March 8th following the 7pm screening. Moderated by Comedy-Writer/Producer Julie Klausner (from the acclaimed podcast "How Was Your Week?")**
The Documentary takes an unconventional journey with a true “comic’s comic”. For a few decades, Eddie Pepitone has proven to be a startling force in the alt-comedy scene. Within “The Bitter Buddha” we follow Eddie as he deals with a middle-age career surge, while struggling with self-doubt, sobriety, and a challenging family history.
Original animation, stand-up comedy and engaging interviews with Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Marc Maron and others help us gain insight into the life of a beloved career comedian known as “the guitarist that all the other guitarists go to see.” As one of the best-kept secrets in the scene, Eddie Pepitone is documented in this unhinged portrait of creativity, enlightenment and rage.
"By turns robustly amusing and wistfully melancholy."
-Joe Leydon, Variety
"...A compelling, sweet, funny valentine to a comic's comic and a true American original."
-Nathan Rabin, AV Club
