Sir Lenny Henry is one of the country's best-loved comedians with a career spanning over forty years. Here he writes about his youth for the first time.

You might think you know Lenny Henry. Think again.

'Moving, powerful and very funny.' MAIL ON SUNDAY

In 1975, a gangly black sixteen-year-old apprentice factory worker from Dudley appeared on our TV screens for the first time. He had no idea he would go on to become a national treasure. Here at last, Sir Lenny Henry tells the revealing and very funny story of his rise to fame.

Surviving a tough family upbringing, along with the trauma of finding out the truth about his father at a young age, Lenny beat the odds. With a riotous warmth and his trademark energy, in Who Am I, Again? he tells the heart-breakingly honest and inspirational story of his youth.

I have been putting off buying this as Audible says it’s 1hr 22mins long - hopefully they read this and correct this.
It’s actually 7hrs and 22mins.

As for the book, it was enjoyable for a fan of Lenny Henry - it helped that I was the right age to remember him on the talent shows (just) and more so when he was on Tiswas. Oooooookkkkkkeeeeeyyyyyyy.
It also reminded me of growing up in the British Midlands too. Jumpers for goalposts down the park and white dog poo.

For Lenny, all to the cries of his mother of ‘H’integration!’.

The book starts with his parents back story, coming to the UK up to the idea of 3 of a kind through the painful times of the Black and White minstrels.

I’ll buy the follow on book and probably listen to this one again in a few months.
