New England Humor, British Humor, and Lenny Bruce's Legacy

By Liz Bulkley on Thursday, June 22, 2006.

Humorists Rebecca Rule and Claire Robson did a sell-out stage show in Portsmouth last year and are back now with more poetry, pranks, and provocative wit. They're doing their 2-woman stage piece Friday through Sunday in venues across the state. It's theatrics and performance-art with a feminist spin, mixed with New Hampshire wisdom and traditions. Join us for a lively conversation with Rebecca Rule and Claire Robson.

Later in the show, we'll delve into the legacy that controversial comedian Lenny Bruce left behind. The story comes to us from producer Jonathan Mitchell. We found it at the Public Radio Exchange. Click here to listen again and leave your comments on the piece.
