I’m Not A Comedian… I’m Lenny Bruce
September 14 @ 8:30 PM – 10:00 PM EDT
**Written and Performed by Ronnie Marmo**
**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.
“The best portrayal of my father I have ever seen”. **–Kitty Bruce(Daughter of
Lenny)**
**“Funny, fierce, tragic…beautifully directed by Joe Mantegna with a strong
performance by Ronnie Marmo vividly brings to life the comedian we so miss
today.” –Billy Crystal**
Tickets | $42 – $67
