Cast: Barry Pearl as Lenny Bruce
Synopsis: Lenny Bruce, the persecuted comedian who died in
1966 of a drug overdose at the age of 40, is pissed off over the fact
that he, the hippest guy in the world, is buried in the desolate San
Fernando Valley where hardly anyone comes to visit him. In this one-man
show, starring Barry Pearl, Lenny takes us on a roller coaster ride
that reveals many new facets about the famed comedian, some hilarious,
some poignant.
