In a review of the stage show, VARIETY noted that “Lenny Bruce is a comic. His routine consists of vocally mimicking the usual stars. It isn’t until he does an impresh of a Bavarian m.c. aping U.S. filmites that his act begins to click. It’s a clever approach that pays off in sock applause. He’s young, personable, and shows good possibilities.” The “usual stars” probably included James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Edward G. Robinson, who were among Bruce’s personal idols.
