American comedian and social critic (1925–1966)
Lenny Bruce appears in the Epstein files exclusively through Paul Krassner's writings and interviews, where the legendary comedian is referenced as a historical figure in counterculture comedy and satire. These mentions are not about any connection to Jeffrey Epstein, but rather appear in documents that contain Krassner's published articles and memoirs.
Lenny Bruce (1925-1966) is mentioned in documents that appear to be scanned copies of Paul Krassner's writings, including issues of *The Realist* magazine and interview transcripts. The references are historical and literary in nature, discussing Bruce's groundbreaking comedy career, his obscenity trials in the 1960s, and his influence on American satire. Bruce died in 1966, decades before the Epstein case, and these mentions simply reflect his importance in the history of free speech and comedy that Krassner documented in his work.
