Lenny Henry is Still At Large in Nottingham on new UK tour
Comedy legend Sir Lenny Henry is coming to Nottingham on his first live tour since 2010.
And he will be at Nottingham Playhouse on May 19.
For more than five decades Lenny Henry has been telling stories — on stage, on screen and through a host of characters etched into our collective memories.
In his first UK tour since his critically acclaimed Cradle to Rave in 2010, Still At Large will see Sir Lenny return to the experiences that shaped him while also exploring the ideas, challenges and creative sparks driving him today.
Lenny said: “I’m so excited to bring Still At Large to the theatres around the UK.
"It’s good to be back on the road with my new tour because I’m this Lenny now – I’m not 16 anymore, it’s like I’ve shed 15 skins since then.
"I’m going to come on stage and tell some stories and then the audience can ask questions, too.
"Come and join me – you never know, you might learn something new.”
From the unforgettable days of The Lenny Henry Show and Chef!, acclaimed dramatic performances in Othello, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Every Brilliant Thing, to the co-creation of Comic Relief and multiple children’s books including Tyrone’s Cool Crown and The Boy With Wings, Lenny traces the roles, characters, and moments that have defined his remarkable career – and shares what continues to inspire him now.
Expect big laughs, heart, and a first-hand celebration of the many versions of Sir Lenny Henry – actor, impressionist, comedian,fundraiser and author.
