Fresh from a sell-out UK season, multi-talented comedian Lenny Henry returns to Australia in July for a national tour with his new show, Where You From?
Where You From? brings together the very best of Lenny Henry. It’s an electrifying mix of stand-up, music, character comedy, and unexpected pathos, all wrapped in his warm comic take on our world.
A cult star on television and one of Britain’s best-known and loved personalities, Lenny has toured Australia four times – each sold out – and since his last tour in 2004 he has continued to delight and entertain audiences around the world with roles in film, TV and documentaries, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, MirrorMask, LennyHenry.TV and Lenny’s Britain.
But live performance reveals the true genius of Lenny Henry. And Australian audiences will see him over a three week tour in all capital cities.
“His talent seems limitless. He is a comedian, impressionist, singer and serious actor. His appeal is classless and ageless. He is as popular with the over 60s as with the under 20s. He seems incapable of giving offence. Even in today’s racially sensitive Britain, he can make sharp comments about police harassment of blacks and get away with it. Six foot two of baggy-suited sunshine and good humour. There is apparently no-one immune to his charm.” Daily Telegraph, London
