For decades Eddie Pepitone has been a startling force in the US alt-comedy scene (acolytes include Sarah Silverman and Zach Galifianakis). This
documentary takes an unconventional journey with a true "comic's comic", following Eddie deal with a middle-age career surge, whilst struggling with self-doubt, sobriety, and a challenging family history.
"This loving portrait of the angst-ridden comedian should well lift his profile." - Hollywood Reporter
"By turns robustly amusing and wistfully melancholy." - Variety
"Eddie Pepitone, perhaps the funniest stand-up comedian you've never heard of, gets a deserving close-up in the amusing, freewheeling documentary The Bitter Buddha." - Los Angeles Times
