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.

Lenny Bruce: The problem is we always expect women to be a combination sunday school teacher, and $500-a-night hooker!
Lenny Bruce: Did you know that Eleanor Roosevelt gave Lou Gehrig the clap?
