About this event
Join British comedian, actor and presenter Lenny Henry for an intimate discussion exploring what shaped him and what drives him now. 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. Presented by Fane

Same kind of night (theatre) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
