Summary

Today we are diving deep with actor and stand-up comedian Eddie Pepitone. We discuss the ACA laundry list, the impact of his traumatic childhood, and his love for marijuana. He also shares about his relapse during the pandemic and how he made his way back into the rooms of recovery.
Eddie Pepitone is a master of the dark art of comedy. Hailed as a modern day cross between Jackie Gleason Don Rickles and Eckhart Tolle. Eddie is a force of nature on stage switching back and forth between social rage and self doubt. His shows are an energetic combo of calm and chaos blue collar angst and sardonic enlightenment. He began his comedy career in New York City quickly becoming a regular on the scene. He appeared regularly on Late Night With Conan O’Brien. His other numerous television appearances include Chappelle’s Show Jimmy Kimmel Live King of Queens Last Comic Standing It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Sarah Silverman Program.
