Got an alert this morning about an interview with Kitty Bruce in the Allentown (PA) Call Chronicle (or what is derisively called by the locals The Crawl Comical– Everybody’s got a nasty name for the local rag, no?)
Kitty has long been sought out to comment for articles, interviews and films about her father, who died of a drug overdose in 1966, when she was 10 and he was 40.
Lately, she’s been on the interview circuit to promote this month’s release of a six-compact disc overview of Bruce’s career called “Lenny Bruce: Let the Buyer Beware” (Shout Factory, $69.98). She co-produced the boxed set with Hal Willner, the musical director on Saturday Night Live, and Lenny Bruce’s former manager, Marvin Worth, who died in 1998.
Why Allentown, PA? Turns out that Bruce, who has lived in Europe and Hawaii, among other places, decided to settle in Pittston, just outside of Scranton. Read the rest of the interview here.
If you can’t wait, and you simply must purchase it, go here.
