Lenny Bruce was an influential American stand-up comedian, social critic, and satirist known for his groundbreaking and controversial style of comedy. He fearlessly tackled taboo subjects such as politics, religion, and sex with sharp wit and vulgarity, challenging societal norms. Bruce’s 1964 obscenity trial became a symbol of free speech in the U.S., leading to a posthumous pardon in 2003. Considered a pioneer in counterculture comedy, he influenced generations of comedians and was ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the top stand-up comics of all time.
