I'm impressed. I'd prefer seeing a performer who has too much to say than nothing to say within a polished act. Sort of ties into Bruce's jazz fandom and how people don't get improvisation. If its being done without a direction of any kind then he's not really offering anything, but I think the whole direction of at least this performance is just cleaning up the bullshit that covers everything around him.
The people who don't think Lenny Bruce was not funny don't understand 1950's and 1960's comedy. Shelly Berman had a similar style - especially the "sketch type" comedy. Lenny Bruce would have been better as a preacher or lecturer. He is very good at explaining himself. Bill Cosby (a comedian from the 1960's) has this "story telling" style. Comedians today tend not to tell a story. If you can't get a laugh every 5-seconds in this day and age, you are not worth seeing.
Men and women are not that different. I see no difference in fact between men and women.

Sometimes, when he gets really gravely, he sounds just like George Carlin.

... don't take this at ALL as me saying I LIKE Dane Cook, but I seem to recall his "comedy" being story based. Dull story based, but nonetheless.
