The Collectin Does Lenny Bruce: One Night Only

Now virtually sanctified for his controversial humor, which was deemed "sick" in the day by Time Magazine, the late Lenny Bruce has become one of pop culture's most beloved Tragic Heroes. Between constant disputes with the law and an untimely death, his material has often been overshadowed by his biography.

We want to celebrate the evolution of his comedy, from his roots as a slapstick impressionist, to the powerhouse social commentator he became in the 60's. We've curated a smattering of bits and split them up amongst five actors, to illustrate distinct facets of Lenny as a man, and as a performer. We hope this show will entertain a die-hard Lenny fanatic, as well as someone who's never heard him before. There will also be Live Music!
