Based in Los Angeles, Eddie Pepitone delivers a manic, high-energy blend of social satire and existential dread that has earned him the moniker The Bitter Buddha. He currently hosts the weekly sketch and improv podcast Apocalypse Soon alongside producer Kevin Tienken, where they explore humor within the framework of global collapse. Pepitone draws upon his extensive background in the alternative comedy scene and theatrical training to perform live at venues such as the Hollywood Improv. His professional credits include voice work on Rick and Morty and appearances in the documentary feature The Bitter Buddha, which examines his influence on the comedy industry. Recently, he has expanded his reach through the release of the stand-up special In Ruins on YouTube and the ongoing success of his live guided meditation series. His work remains rooted in a vocal opposition to corporate culture, often presented through surreal rants and character-driven monologues that resonate with audiences seeking raw, emotional performance art.
