Movies and TvShows featuring "lenny-bruce" theme.

This documentary explores the life and career of comedian Lenny Bruce, known for his controversial and boundary-pushing style of comedy. It delves into his struggles with censorship, legal battles, and personal demons, highlighting his lasting impact on the world of comedy.

Iconoclast Lenny Bruce appears at San Francisco's Basin Street West in what was his next-to-last live appearance. His act that night consisted of reading allegations and transcripts from one of his several obscenity trials and then commenting on what he'd actually done or said. While there are some "bits" in the performance (including the prison riot with Dutch, the Warden, Father Flotski, and Sabu, the prison doctor), this is much more a social commentary on government intrusion and censorship than it is a comedy routine.
