	Guardian \| Lenny Henry
		Lenny Henry has a lot to apologise for, as he keeps reminding us in his new West End show.
		Henry, 16, was the only non-white among the fled-up performers, and comperes would introduce him as "the darky off the telly".
		Henry has often talked of his desire to do more straight acting; this show suggests not only that he could handle it, but that when it comes to tragicomedy he could blow most of the competition out of the water.

		Henry is dismayed by recent tabloid interviews in which he talked unguardedly about the period of severe depression four years ago that saw him admitted to the Priory, notorious refuge for celebrities who've been overdoing it.
		Henry is bothered more by the idea that he's being defined entirely by a brief episode when over-work and the death of his mother collided to bring him to a point of collapse.
		After leaving school with seven CSEs, Henry won New Faces at the age of 16 with an act that was largely built around impressions of famous fl people, a limited repertoire at the end of the Seventies.

	Review of Lenny Henry: So Much Things To Say (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Henry's great skill has been in striking a happy medium between observational comedy with no social ambitions on the one hand and a continuing didactic impulse on the other.
		However, Henry, co-writer Kim Fuller and director Simon McBurney pull the rabbit triumphantly out of the hat in the closing few minutes: Henry in his own persona begins arguing with all his other characters at once, as they collectively get metatheatrical on his ass, so to speak.
		Henry affects to be a little daunted at appearing in the West End, and he does seem a little compelled to be always proving himself...

	Lenny Henry, State Theatre - Review - www.smh.com.au
		Lenny Henry gets as intimate as is possible in the majestic State Theatre because he works his audience like the old-style, traditional jokesters he once mimicked as a young comic.
		The show becomes a collision between Henry and his characters as they all meet up late in the second half and, ultimately, a lot of their dialogue, which centres on being fl and British, is aimed at a British audience.
		What shines through is Henry's urgent love for his set of characters and his ambition to give a voice to people who are often unheard.
