Lenny Henry On The Graham Norton Show

[Bobbisox1]

Anyone think he’s funny?
I don’t ,never did

[naomi24]

I didn’t see him
- and if I had I’d have switched him off. Never was there a man with s bigger chip on his shoulder. Can’t stand him.

[Georgiesmum]

I didnt see it either. Is it repeated?

[tonyav]

If it's on a BBC channel it will be on BBC iplayer, Georgiesmum.

//He seems to have done quite well, retrocop. //
Correct me if I am wrong but apart from his 'doing well' I believe he has a failed marriage (Dawn French) and a mental breakdown.
A high price to pay alas.

[Spicerack]

He's a racist.

[ummmm]

Many people have failed marriages, I don't see what that has to do with anything. Same as mental health, rich or poor, successful or not, anyone can suffer with it.

[ummmm]

He's a racist? How so?

[retrocop]

My mistake. No evidence of a mental breakdown with Lenny Henry.I am mixing up another black showbiz celebrity.

[ummmm]

Frank Bruno?

[retrocop]

Yes. Thankyou

[Denton]

Totally agree with naomi24!!

[douglas9401]

I've a memory of flans or something.

[tonyav]

He was a good news reader !

[Old_Geezer]

Didn't see the show.
Have no issue with Lenny. Can't recall when I last saw him perform but have no image of him being unfunny, has been ok when I have watched him.

[teacake44]

To watch him as a comedian is hard work, anything else he's been in have never watched.

[Bobbisox1]

He’s about as funny as a nail scraping down a blackboard

[teacake44]

No need to bring colour into it Bobbs. :0)

[Bazile]

Just shows how one man's funny is another man's unfunny

Humour is of course subjective

I cannot see anything funny about these current crop of so called comedians

I hear people howling with laughter and I think - what do you find funny about him/her

Like I said ...it's subjective

I do wonder though from a few comments on here whether people just don't like him , irrespective of the commedian aspect - does rather seem that way

[teacake44]

As for me, just to be clear, there's nothing to dislike about him,but not for me as a comedian.

[Bobbisox1]

Bazile, I don’t ‘get’ so called comedians like Frankie Boyle and Russel Brand, I prefer someone I can laugh with, I like Peter Kay and Billy Connolly and the other Glaswegian bloke who’s name escapes me , they have something to offer an audience .

Oops sorry for bringing b****board into this TC haha
