Noted actor Ronnie Marma brilliantly embodies one of the most daring and controversial voices of the last century: Lenny Bruce (1925-1966).
Comedian, social critic and satirist Lenny Bruce (born Leonard Schneider) was renowned for his open, free-wheeling, critical and often vulgar style of humor. This style has 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.
