Lenny Bruce is a fan favourite character on Marvelous Mrs Maisel - find out more about him in real life
December 12, 2019 - 11:26 GMT Emmy Griffiths Although most of the popular show Marvelous Mrs Maisel is fictional, there is one recurring character who has been plucked right out of history. Lenny Bruce, a hugely successful yet controversial comic, first meets Midge in prison and the pair swiftly become friends in the series. While Lenny gives her a hand with her stand-up career, she in turn is there to support him as his television career begins to take off.
In 1964, Lenny was arrested for an appearance at Café Au Go Go in NYC, had a six-month trial and was eventually sentenced to four months in a workhouse, which was then appealed. His obscenity conviction was eventually overturned posthumously.In Marvelous Mrs Maisel season three, Midge and Lenny's relationship almost goes to the next level after spending an evening together, but Midge decides not to pursue her feelings for him.
