Iconic comedian and actor Lenny Henry is touring the UK for the first time in 16 years – and he’s coming to York.
For over five decades, actor, writer and comedian Lenny Henry has been telling stories — on stage, on screen and through a host of characters etched into our collective memory.
His new live tour, Still At Large, is part stand-up, part storytelling, part conversation, and is coming to the Grand Opera House York on Tuesday 23 June.
In his first UK tour since his critically acclaimed Cradle to Rave in 2010, Still At Large will see Lenny return to the experiences that shaped him while also exploring the ideas, challenges, and creative sparks driving him today.
Lenny Henry 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 five decade career – and shares what continues to inspire him now as he reflects on a life lived out loud.
Expect big laughs, heart, and a first-hand celebration of the many versions of Lenny: the actor, the impressionist, the comedian, the fundraiser, the author.
