.I’m Not a Comedian . . . I’m Lenny Bruce in Palo Alto

music in the park, psychedelic furs

It takes a very special, sharp, poignant mind to keep audiences laughing while also getting them to think. Before Bill Hicks, before George Carlin, there was Lenny Bruce, a take-no-guff fast-talker who saw the absurdities of life and took pleasure in pointing out the holes in the system. His story is of laughter, love and tragedy as his foulmouthed anarchist act and troubled personal life led him from the bottom to the top and into the trappings of the same system he railed against. Written and performed by Ronnie Marmo, I’m Not a Comedian chronicles the life and times of Bruce in what his daughter calls “the best portrayal of my father I’ve ever seen.”
