You might think you know Lenny Henry. Think again. In 1975, a gangly black teenage factory worker from Dudley appeared on our TV screen for the first time. Surviving a tough family upbringing, along with the trauma of discovering the truth about his father at a young age, Lenny found his natural ability for comedy and mimicry to be his means of coping and escape. He had no idea that these same talents would soon make him a household name. Here, at last, Sir Lenny Henry tells the revealing, inspiring and very funny story of his rise to fame, from New Faces to national treasure.
