Lenny Bruce  

Definición

  • Lenny Bruce—born Leonard Alfred Schneider, in Mineola, Long Island (New York), the son of an Anglo-Jewish shoe clerk and a dancer, who divorced when he was 5 years old—was a U.S. nightclub entertainer and social satirist during the 1950s and early 1960s. While public authorities increasingly denounced his performances as dirty and sick and courts across the United States tried him for obscenity, Bruce was widely esteemed by artists and intellectuals and, after his death, emerged as a cultural icon among advocates of free speech and political humor.
