Sir Lenny Henry: Still at Large
For over five decades, Lenny Henry has been telling stories – on stage, on screen and through a host of characters etched into our collective memory.
Part stand-up, part storytelling and part conversation with himself (and with you), this new live show sees Lenny return to the experiences that shaped him while also exploring the ideas, challenges and creative sparks driving him today.
From the unforgettable days of The Lenny Henry Show and Chef! to acclaimed dramatic performances in Othello and, more recently, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Lenny traces the roles, characters and moments that have defined his remarkable career – and shares what continues to inspire him now as he reflects on a life lived out loud.
Expect big laughs, heart and a celebration of the many versions of Lenny: the actor, the impressionist, the comedian, the fundraiser and the Stand-Up Anecdotalist.
