Counterculture hero Lenny Bruce held a mirror up to society, fighting his inner demons alongside his quest for freedom of speech and his right to tell the truth. Over 50 years after his death, Lenny's legacy lives on as he continues to inspire artists all over the world.
Written and performed by Ronnie Marmo. Directed by Joe Mantegna.
I'm Not a Comedian... I'm Lenny Bruce 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 freedom of speech all the way to the Supreme Court and died of an accidental overdose in 1966 while out on appeal. Lauded by fans and former friends of Bruce, Marmo's crowd-shocking portrayal brings the notorious funnyman to life with all the electrifying, insightful and comedic brilliance as the one and only Lenny Bruce himself.
