  Ladies and Gentlemen - Lenny Bruce: Lenny Bruce is considered to this day to be America's most controversial comedian. Having been arrested numerous times for obscenity over the course of his career Lenny performed only in San Francisco during the last year of his life. Filmed in 1965 at the Basin Street West in what would be his second-to-last performance live performance Lenny directly addresses the accusations and allegations stemming from his multiple arrests for obscenity. This rare live performance also contains some of his famous stand-up bits including the prison riot with Dutch the warden Father Flotski and Sabu the prison doctor. Without Tears: The outrageous groundbreaking comic whose iconoclastic material in a conservative era got him into tragic trouble is here profiled by a close friend who prefers to remember the laughs Lenny Bruce's memory evokes instead of the tears.
