This nationally recognized hit, one-man show chronicles the life and death of the most controversial comedian and undisputed legend of all time…Lenny Bruce. His personal pain, sharply funny social commentary and completely original freestyle comedy left a lasting impact on today’s poetry, politics, music, film-and of course-comedy. His unwavering commitment to, and passion for, free speech led to numerous obscenity charges and arrests. Bruce fought for the freedom of speech to the Supreme Court and died of an accidental overdose in 1966 while out on appeal. Lauded by fans and former friends of the late comedian, Marmo’s portrayal brings the notorious funnyman to life with all the electrifying, insightful, and comedic brilliance of the one and only Lenny Bruce himself.
Directed by Tony and Emmy Awards Winner Joe Mantegna
