Did you like Lenny Bruces stuff?!


Question: Lenny Bruce (1925-1966) - Leonard Alfred Schneider

American stand-up comedian and brilliant satirist, who created much controversy in his time due to his use of so-called 'dirty words' in his nightclub comedy act. The black humor of Bruce's largely improvised shows often overstepped the bounds of what was considered in the 1950s and 1960s respectable. Bruce's performances, his fresh and daring way of breaking rules, influenced such comedians as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Robin Williams.

"Children ought to watch pornographic movies : it's healthier than learning about sex from Hollywood." (from How to Talk Dirty and Influence People, 1965)

How not to recognise such a talent... Consider the disciples mentioned: each a great comedian but also a social commentator... Carlin, Pryor, Williams, each a standout.
