With a career spanning more than four decades, Lenny Henry remains one of Britain’s most influential cultural figures. From his early breakthrough on Tiswas to his pioneering work in television, theatre and film, he has consistently used his platform to entertain, challenge and inspire.

In Still At Large, Henry reflects on a lifetime in the spotlight, exploring themes of identity, ageing, success and the changing cultural landscape of Britain. Blending stand-up comedy with storytelling and sharp social observation, the show offers both humour and thoughtful insight, delivered with his trademark warmth and charisma.
Known for his ability to connect with audiences across generations, Henry creates a performance that feels both personal and universal, drawing on lived experience while addressing wider social and cultural conversations.
