Lenny Henry Live – So Much Things to Say
The king of comedy is back! Lenny Henry Live – So Much Things to Say is a hilarious live stand up show from one of Britain’s best loved and well known comedians. The footage was filmed at the Hackney Empire during his critically acclaimed UK tour of the same name. Perfect for fans, old and new, who missed the tour the first time or want to relive the experience; this is an ideal gift.
Lenny’s first recorded stand-up show for eleven years tackles a variety of subjects, described in his unique comedic style, including: parents, love, sex, reggae music and even war. Lenny gives his sharpest comedy routine to date, interspersing straight stand-up with a wealth of characters, including Lister, a reactionary, yet canny old shopkeeper, and Daniel, his son, a British soldier serving in Basra.
“Remarkable, exhilarating, endearing...my God, what a lot he’s got to show us” - Financial Times
Lenny Henry is a much loved star who has been a comedy favourite for over 20 years making him one of the most recognised faces on UK TV. His enduring popularity was proved with this year’s Lenny Henry Show attracting 5.3 million viewers on BBC1. Lenny is also known for his instigation and incredible involvement with Comic Relief, the annual charity ‘telethon’ that has been running since 1986, which raises millions of pounds for disadvantaged children around the world.
Lenny Henry says: ”I loved doing the show, working with Kim Fuller and Simon McBurney was a dream come true. The audience reaction was sensational and reaffirmed my belief that audiences want comedy that not only kicks ass but also has something to say for itself. Enjoy it!”
