    Every dumb hack comedian has mixed themselves up with Lenny Bruce.

      I only know Lenny Bruce from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Was he a real figure?

        All of these comedians who whine about not being able to say things, and being so brave to go ahead with their bigoted material, all just wish they were Lenny Bruce. Lenny was funny, said the truth, and while some stuff wouldn’t fly today, he was very progressive for the 50’s, and early 60s. He literally had police camp out his shows to arrest him as soon as he started saying something they didn’t like. He was actually getting beat-up by police, expelled from countries, and making land mark civil rights law, because of his routines.

          The show actually captured a fair amount of that. Interesting. Thanks!

              It’s a fantastic series. Only draw back is that it is on Amazon.
