Lenny Said It. "Hot Honey" Did It. Together They Shocked America.

Drama

The story of acerbic 1960s comic Lenny Bruce, whose groundbreaking, no-holds-barred style and social commentary was often deemed by the establishment as too obscene for the public.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at a comedian who pushed boundaries. It feels like a smoky, late-night set where every joke lands with a punch, exploring the heavy cost of speaking truth to power in a repressive era.
