Lenny Bruce

Leonard Alfred Schneider, better known by his stage name Lenny Bruce, was a Jewish-American stand-up comedian, social critic, and satirist. He was renowned for his open, free-style and critical form of comedy which integrated satire, politics, religion, sex, and vulgarity. His 1964 conviction in an obscenity trial was followed by a posthumous pardon, the first in the history of New York state, by then-Governor George Pataki in 2003. (Source + full bio: Wikipedia.org)
