I'm Not a Comedian...I'm Lenny Bruce (Chicago) Tickets

We attended the last performance of this show at the Royal George Theatre on Friday, March 13, 2020, the day before the world shut down for Covid. We learned so much about Lenny Bruce and know, now more than ever, the world needs someone like him. What would he have thought about Covid??? Additionally, the audience was small because of the hesitation at the time to attend a large indoor gathering. But Ronnie spent 45 minutes after the performance with our small group talking about Lenny and his influence as well as the ability for theatre to bring people together, especially in hard times. I wholly recommend it. Btw, I need to respond to the person who was disappointed that this wasn't a comedy show. Lenny Bruce made people laugh because of the truths he told, but his life was tragic. That's what the show is about, and Ronnie Marmo brings Lenny to life.

The acting was brilliant and the content interesting. I highly recommend the play

He really seems to capture Bruce's essence and personality

Show had some of his bits and some on his life. Well done and much food for thought

I really wasn’t sure to expect, but was absolutely blown away! Don’t miss your chance to see this fantastic production! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll learn. I hope to see it again before it leaves Chicago. Ronnie Marmo is fantastic, and so humble. Really, if you’re thinking about going, just do it!

The actor was good but it was boring. Certainly not comedic.

Fantastic performance that brought Lenny to the stage. Heartbreaking and hilarious!

Excellent performance and portrayal of Lenny Bruce, his brilliance, humor, struggles and especially his message.

This show was absolutely amazing. Ronnie was spot on... Considering going again..

Ronnie Marmal and Joe Mantegna teamed up to brilliantly capture the brilliance of Lenny Bruce. The intimate setting was perfect.

My title says it all... I felt as though I was transported back in time, watching the “real” Lenny Bruce. I say that sincerely because Ronnie Marmo has made a remarkable transformation ... it’s kinda freaky! The content of the play is spot on for current times. And even if you know the saga of Lenny Bruce, you will build on that and have a very rich experience.

This was one of the best shows I have ever seen. Ronnie Marmo is fantastic as Lenny Bruce. He tells you the story of how Lenny Bruce paved the way for many comedians of our time. It is a one man show, and Ronnie is the man. He is emotional and exciting to watch. He tells the story in the first person. I recommend it highly, even if you don't know who Lenny Bruce was. I learned a lot about our times then and now. The Royal George Theater is small, perfect for this play. It is probably a lot like the theaters where Lenny did his act.

Very Good show. I had a good time and enjoy every moment. Thank You!

Emotional, powerful, funny and tragic. The life of Lenny Bruce is portrayed beautifully and sadly by Ronnie Marmo, pulling you into a world full of emotional struggle of an individual alive at a time when no one in power would listen to common sense and the truth in front of their very eyes, and the powerlessness of a single individual to alter the tide, but endeavored and succeeded to become a tsunami decades later, affecting so many others to speak up and out.

This is a fantastic original play, beautifully acted by the author, as he takes you through the rise and fall of Lenny Bruce. Must see!

Outstanding! So well done and fun! What an awesome actor! I was shocked by his talent!!!! Don't miss it!

The best one man show I’ve seen in Chicago! A great depiction of Lenny Bruce’s life’s story as well as a timely story for today.

A truly hypnotic performance that delves deeply into the life and art of Lenny Bruce. Highly recommended!

Excellent very well done and very enjoyable. would highly recommend.

Well done well acted goes fast great story that will question your feelings on current events .
