Comedians Richard Lewis, Paul Mooney, Rick Overton, Paul Provenza and Bobby Slayton will be on hand at the Lenny Bruce Memorial Foundation Auction at the Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip Wednesday, October 28. The auction will benefit Lenny’s House, a non-profit recovery house for women healing from drug and alcohol addictions, named in memory of the legendary Lenny Bruce.
In addition to the benefit, the event will conclude with an auction of rare memorabilia consisting of more than 25 items of from the comedian’s estate, overseen by his daughter, Kitty Bruce.
Complete auctions details are available at www.lennybruceofficial.com. Among the items going up for auction are Bruce family photos, personal letters, a typewriter from his early years, his bedroom set and one of his trademark trench coats which he was so famous for being arrested in.
“For more than 40 years, I held on these items, but now I felt the time was right to honor my father’s memory in a way that will change lives. And with Lenny’s House, I have never felt so right about anything in my life,” said Kitty Bruce.
