I just took in the last show performed by Lenny Bruce before he died, the Live at Berkley performance on YouTube.

A few thoughts....

  1. Most of his material from that show is still relevant, even today in 2018.
  2. It seems to me that where Bruce left off, George Carlin picked up. I can see that he was a big influence on him and his career. I'm not entirely sure if this was true for Richard Pryor, but I'm sure he (Lenny Bruce) had some influence.
  3. Maybe he could be credited as the Father of Shock Comedy?
  4. Stay away from amphetamines.....

For those that have seen the show, what are your thoughts?

Lenny Bruce was brilliant. And the material was impressive, given the time period. I don't think I've seen that particular show. I'll look it up.

Posted by whymelordHello! Newbie here. If no one has mentioned it yet, everything Anthony Jessilnik says is dark humor gold.

Posted by JesseBorenJim Jefferies has been one of favorite stand-up after seeing his first HBO special. I've been lucky enough to get to see him twice live. He was pretty drunk the second show, it was much better.
