For over five decades, Lenny Henry has been a defining voice in British entertainment, shaping comedy, television and theatre with a career that spans generations. In Still At Large, he returns to the stage with a compelling new live show that blends stand-up, storytelling and reflection.
Part performance and part personal journey, the show sees Henry revisit the experiences that have shaped both his life and his work, from his early rise to fame through The Lenny Henry Show and Chef! to his later acclaimed dramatic performances on stage and screen. Alongside his acting work, Henry has been a prominent figure in conversations around representation, identity and opportunity within the creative industries.
Through humour, honesty and insight, Still At Large explores the ideas and influences that continue to drive him today, offering audiences a deeper understanding of the person behind the public persona. Drawing on moments of triumph, challenge and change, the performance reflects on a life lived in the spotlight while remaining grounded in storytelling and connection.
Known for his warmth and presence on stage, Henry creates an atmosphere that is both engaging and reflective, where laughter sits alongside thoughtful commentary. The show moves between personal anecdotes and wider cultural observations, capturing the evolution of a performer who has remained relevant across decades of change in British media and society.
Curve Theatre, located in Leicester’s cultural quarter, is one of the UK’s leading producing venues, known for its bold programming and commitment to diverse voices and contemporary performance.
