Lenny Henry
The dust from The Comedy Festival has barely settled and we're already set for the next roll out of lols.
Overview
The dust from The Comedy Festival has barely settled and we're already set for the next roll out of lols. This week, it's in the form of acclaimed UK comedian, actor, writer, TV presenter, radio host and all-round Renaissance funny man, Lenny Henry. Cradle to Rave is Henry's funky, funny and personal one man show about the thing he loves most: music.
So what we've been hearing about the show is that it's an "offering of a hilarious and touching insight into a man to whom music matters a little too much." And if there's anything that I learnt from going to many a show at the Comedy Fest it's that when you've got a funny chap up on stage having a good old rant about something they're passionate about, you're probably going to laugh quite a lot.
Cradle to Rave peers behind the curtain of Henry’s show biz successes to examine his life and his thwarted musical ambitions, with plenty of laughs and lots of funky tunes along the way. Directed by the critically acclaimed UK theatre director Richard Wilson, Cradle to Rave has been described as "a profound, colourful and musical journey from fan boy to the greatest singer the UK never had", whatever that might mean.
