Comedian Eddie Pepitone Comes to Music Box, 3/15
"Comedian's comedian" Eddie Pepitone and director Steven Feinartz, a Columbia College alum, return to Chicago for a special one-night showing of their film festival hit The Bitter Buddha. Author and AV Club editor Nathan Rabin moderates a post-screening conversation Friday, March 15, 9:30 p.m. at Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport.
The Bitter Buddha takes the viewer backstage in the alternative comedy scene to reveal one of its most undervalued treasures. This portrait of a comedian looks at Pepitone's offbeat humor and lifestyle as he battles the world around him. Stand-up comedy, original animation and interviews with Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Marc Maron, Zach Galifianakis and others provide insight into this beloved career comedian known as "the guitarist that all the other guitarists go to see." Above all, The Bitter Buddha is an unhinged portrait of creativity, enlightenment and rage.
THE BITTER BUDDHA (Steven Feinartz, 2012, 88min.)
