Kitty Bruce Fund

Kitty Bruce is the only child of foundational comedy giant and first amendment martyr Lenny Bruce. She has devoted her life to keeping her father’s torch lit and to helping those who struggle with alcohol and drug addiction achieve recovery. Two years ago Kitty suffered an injury that has necessitated ongoing care and treatment, leaving her physically and financially hobbled. Please help support Kitty as she fights to get back on her feet.
