Lenny Bruce Comedian Quotations

The role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at a minimum of once every fifteen seconds.

When you're eight years old, nothing is any of your business.

Today's comedian has a cross to bear that he built himself. A comedian of the older generation did an act and he told the audience, This is my act. Today's comic is not doing an act. The audience assumes he's telling the truth. What is truth today may be a damn lie next week.

Every group needs a comedian. A comic who is politically incorrect at the Berkeley campus might slay them at a Klan rally.

I'm not a comedian. I'm Lenny Bruce.
