Eddie Pepitone, known to many as The Bitter Buddha, comes across like some powerful alchemists admixture of Doug Stanhope, Jamie Kilstein, and Lewis Blackor maybe its a cross between classic, sardonic Bill Hicks and modern, relatable Ren Hicks (minus the rollerskates). No matter how you try to define him, Pepitones already one step ahead: so deep into self-judgment that he can give a master lesson in heckling himself.
