    No. Don't waste your money. I saw him a while ago, a bit smutty, not a bit funny.

    Don't you remember Ricky Gervais, in Extras, in the scene at the BBC Studios, when he was asked to think of a great black comedian? He came up with a few great ones, all American. He was then asked to name a British one. Desperately racking his brains, and looking all around him, he could not come up with a single one.

    There was a huge picture of Lenny Henry on the wall of the Studio. :D

    I see.
    I do like Jimmy Carr...and he can be smutty at times.
    I wonder.

    Well I like all sorts of comedians including smutty ones but Lenny Henry has never come across that well to me tbh. He's too much a part of the establsihed BBC culture these days to really be anarchic in my view. It's like he doesn't want to endanger his cushy position...not that I blame him.
