Lenny Bruce: All Alone

Lenny's heart-wrenching take on solitude and love's end... It always makes my eyes dewy: Lenny's SO autobiographical here, and so tender/mean/sweet at the same time. Enjoy!

Hicks, Lenny and Carlin - pure comedy gold

@rude1987 Richard Pryor, too! :')

The woman at the end is wrong - he is talking about what he lost and missed

[VieraBorn]

sad end for him

@Konicava OK. I wasn't trying to start any argument. I just hope you know that there's a SHITLOAD of hilarious Louis CK youtube clips where he comes up with bits on the spot and WILL make you shit your pants. I guess if it's off the cuff, it doesn't count? Hmm....

[Konicava]

@tpstrat14 Not to say he sucks, actually he is in my opinion one of the funniest stand up comedians alive today, but you can't compare him to Carlin yet, Carlin is still the stand up comedy mastermind, then Hicks I believe who inspired Carlin also.

[Konicava]

@tpstrat14 Yeah thats true about shameless, but interviews aren't material, when a comedian talks its material? No way, material is only what he uses in his sketches, and ok he had a show, now lets get Carlin, he had a show also, which I didn't care about much, hours and hours of materials, many hbo specials, his audiobook lasted like 7 and a half hours, not to say his other material and tapes, one that actually made CK into who he is as a comedian, CK has half of Carlin's material.

@Konicava Hey, I JUST found two new clips. One is Louis CK giving dating advice to some guy and the other is an interview where Louis had just had a vasectomy and admits it on air. This is the kind of new stuff I find every single day from this guy. lol I can't fucking believe you said his material is scarce. If there was one comic in the history of mankind whose comedy ISN'T scarce that would be Louis CK's....

[tpstrat14]

@Konicava Let's get you goin in the right direction. You thinking Louis CK has three hours of work makes me cry. You forgot shameless, his two BRILLIANT sitcoms (they do use his standup) and HOURS of original, GOLDEN material in random youtube clips. (opie and anthony show, various talk shows, interviews.. you can go ahead and look him up) Not trying to argue, I just feel sorry for you that you don't already know this.... especially considering you find him "funny as hell"..

[Konicava]

@tpstrat14 You're so wrong, CK has done 2 hbo specials while Carlin did how many? 7? CK has no new material, I watched Hilarious, Chewed up, Live at Beacon and then what? You probably know you're wrong, and having more material than Hicks and Chappelle is not that hard, now more than Carlin who could entertain a massive crowd for more than 8 hours straight without repeating a single joke, thats tough.

[tpstrat14]

@Konicava Scarce?!~?!!You gotta keep looking cause out of the 10 or so comics that I have really delved into, Louis CK has BY FAR the most material. That includes Hicks, Chappelle, Mitch Hedburg, Carlin, Pryor, Gaffigan (he has like an hour). There is at least 8 hours straight of GOLDEN Louis CK originality.
