...Many of Lenny's routines were either tart showbiz tales (his 20min. saga of a lousy comic playing the London Palladium) or just funny-silly (a woman comes home to find her husband in bed with a chicken ? a love object that, 10 years later, Woody Allen would turn into a sheep and, 35 years on, Edward Albee would make a goat).
