Part stand-up, part storytelling and part conversation with himself (and with you), this new live show sees Lenny return to the experiences that shaped him while also exploring the ideas, challenges and creative sparks driving him today.

An Evening with Lenny Henry

From the unforgettable days of The Lenny Henry Show and Chef! to acclaimed dramatic performances in Othello and, more recently, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Lenny traces the roles, characters and moments that have defined his remarkable career – and shares what continues to inspire him now as he reflects on a life lived out loud.

Expect big laughs, heart and a celebration of the many versions of Lenny: the actor, the impressionist, the comedian, the fundraiser and the Stand-Up Anecdotalist.

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
