HOOD RIVER — Alternative comedian Eddie Pepitone will headline The Button Bridge Comedy Jamborita at the Hood River Elk Lodge on Nov. 7-8 on the heels of his latest stand-up special “The Collapse.”

Known as a master of dark comedy who channels the power of the rant, Pepitone is often compared to Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles and Eckhart Tolle. “Eddie is a force of nature on stage, switching between social rage and self-doubt,” said a press release. “His shows are an energetic combo of calm and chaos, blue-collar angst and sardonic enlightenment.”
