Lenny Henry : Still At Large

Lenny Henry has spent more than fifty years telling stories,on stage, on screen, and through a gallery of characters that have become part of British cultural history.

His new live show blends stand‑up, storytelling, and a lively conversation with both himself and the audience. He revisits the moments that shaped him, while exploring the ideas, challenges, and creative sparks that drive him today.

From the iconic days of The Lenny Henry Show and Chef! to acclaimed dramatic turns in Othello and, more recently, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, he traces the roles, characters, and milestones that have defined his extraordinary career, and reflects on what continues to inspire him as he looks back on a life lived in the spotlight.

Expect big laughs, warmth, and a celebration of the many Lennys we’ve come to know: the actor, the impressionist, the comedian, the fundraiser, and the master storyteller.
