How many times was Lenny Bruce arrested for public indecency?

gracie3

Lenny Bruce was arrested four times for obscenity between 1961 and 1964. His last such arrest, made on stage at Cafe au Go Go in New York, resulted in a lengthy trial and eventually in conviction, and effectively ended his career. (The conviction was overturned two years after Bruce's death.) But although dirty words were the primary source of his notoriety, they were far from the whole story. http://www.duckprods.com/projects/lennybruce/lb-nytimesfeature.html On October 4, 1961, Bruce was arrested for obscenity[14] at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenny_Bruce Aug 03 11, 4:38 AM
