BRITISH comedy royalty will be coming to Chester in May, as Lenny Henry embarks on his first tour in more than a decade.

For over five decades, the actor, writer and comedian has been telling stories – on stage, on screen and through a host of characters etched into our collective memory.

His new live tour, Still At Large , is part stand-up, part storytelling and part conversation.

Tickets are available from fane.co.uk/Lenny-Henry.

His first UK tour since the critically acclaimed Cradle to Rave in 2010, Still At Large will see Lenny return to the experiences that shaped him while also exploring the ideas, challenges, and creative sparks driving him today.

He will arrive at Storyhouse on Sunday, May 17 – but tickets are selling fast, so don’t miss out.

Lenny Henry said: “I’m so excited to bring Still At Large to the theatres around the UK.

“It's good to be back on the road with my new tour because I'm this Lenny now – I'm not 16 anymore, it’s like I’ve shed 15 skins since then!

“I'm going to come on stage and tell some stories and then the audience can ask questions, too.

“Come and join me – you never know, you might learn something new.”

From the unforgettable days of The Lenny Henry Show and Chef!, acclaimed dramatic performances in Othello, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Every Brilliant Thing, to the co-creation of Comic Relief and multiple children’s books including Tyrone’s Cool Crown and The Boy With Wings, Lenny traces the roles, characters, and moments that have defined his remarkable five decade career—and shares what continues to inspire him now as he reflects on a life lived out loud.

Expect big laughs, heart, and a first-hand celebration of the many versions of Lenny.
