Lenny Bruce expounds on the ticklishness of his wife, Honey Bruce

Imagine my surprise when reading Lenny Bruce's autobiography, "How To Talk Dirty And Influence People", he opens up a chapter talking about how ticklish his (gorgeous) wife, the burlesque stripper Hot Honey Harlowe/Bruce was.

I'm attaching scans of the relevant portion......(you'll have to retitle them, sorry).

Above all this, Lenny was just a great, great artist, comedian, mind.......so ahead of his time, if he could have just hung on even just a year longer, the whole world would have caught up with him. I just posted the definitive documentary about him on this thread here...not only that, you can see footage of Honey the heartbreaker herself, as well as her more contemporary interview about their crazy marriage.....she even says..."He made me laugh...and I love to laugh..." :

Do yourself a favor - as well as doing it for Lenny himself - check it out! One of the greatest and most important of all comedians....and one of the saddest stories ever.

He would have loved the TMF!

Very nice find.

nice

How DO you do it, Leo?

Nice!!!!!!!!!

Yes....Great book, I must have read it 50 times..
A must if you're a Lenny Bruce fan..

I think of this thread every time Lenny Bruce appears as a character on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel--every time I'm rooting for the scene we all want to see!
