Lenny Bruce (Character)

Lenny Bruce, also known as Leonard Alfred Schneider, is a main and recurring character on the Amazon Prime show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. He is inspired by his real-life counterpart, the famous comedian Lenny Bruce.

Lenny is known to be charismatic, highly competent, has a heavy lean towards what was deemed controversial humor at the time, is very snarky, and a bit of a loner, but he is not arrogant or misanthropic and tends to make more jokes at his own expense than at other people's. He is shown at times to be a bit stand-offish toward most people and generally doesn't make a project of being charitable or nice, but he cares very much about Midge, so is willing to go out of his way to help her when necessary.
