Lenny Henry returns to the stage in a live show blending stand-up, storytelling and conversation, exploring the experiences and ideas that have shaped his career.
Lenny Henry is back on stage at The Alexandra on Monday 19 October, with Still At Large — a show that sits somewhere between stand-up, storytelling and conversation. It's not a traditional comedy set; he spends a good chunk of it talking to himself and to the audience, working his way back through the experiences that shaped him while he looks at the ideas and creative sparks that drive him now.
Much of that looking back covers the roles and moments that defined his career. He goes back to the early days of The Lenny Henry Show and Chef!, then moves into his dramatic work, including Othello and, more recently, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It's a fair bit of ground to cover, and the show brings together the different versions of the man: the actor, the impressionist, the comedian, the fundraiser and the self-styled 'Stand-Up Anecdotalist'.

The talk runs for about an hour to an hour and a half, and it often includes a Q&A session at the end, so you might get a chance to ask him something yourself. Tickets start from £52.81, and the show is at The Alexandra Theatre on Suffolk Queensway, Birmingham, B5 4DS.
