Directed by multi award-winning actor and director Joe Mantegna, and produced in partnership with Lenny Bruce’s daughter Kitty Bruce, “I’m Not A Comedian… I’m Lenny Bruce” was written by and stars Ronnie Marmo.
The story of the life and early passing of one of the most legendary comedians of all time, the play not only draws from his many court battles championing the freedom of speech but also includes many of Bruce's original comedic bits and insights from his own writings. The production originally opened to rave reviews in Chicago in October 2019 following successful runs in New York and Los Angeles. Chris Jones with the Chicago Tribune raved “even the most devoted Bruce fan will leave impressed with Marmo,” and WTTW called the play “brilliant” and “furiously funny” while the Daily Herald called the show, “striking.” Celebrated Chicago actress Bonnie Hunt said, “Ronnie Marmo delights as he channels Lenny Bruce. A thoughtful authenticity in performance, direction and script.”
