Heckled by Van Morrison

The second part of this extraordinary interview with comedian, actor and writer Lenny Henry. Rich quizzes Lenny about his attempt to break America with the film Eddie Murphy rejected, True Identity and how it led to Lenny taking control of his future projects, how the Three of a Kind were chosen and why it triumphed over other sketch shows of the era, Lenny's illustrious acting career and the tricky role that both Rich and he have played, plus appearing on the brilliant The Assembly. Lenny's latest tour show Still at Large will continue in late 2027.

Look out for more dates for Lenny's tour in late 2027 https://www.fane.co.uk/lenny-henry#event-listing
