Lenny Henry On The Graham Norton Show

[Bobbisox1]

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

[Cloverjo]

I don’t know how he’s been so successful. I remember him on Sunday Night at the Palladium and he raised only titters. I don’t dislike him, but just don’t find him funny.

[bednobs]

he hasnt really said anything yet

[david small]

Loud and un amusing. His mom loved him though. Awooga...

[Bobbisox1]

I know bednobs but I find him very ‘unfunny’

[brainiac]

Find him chippy and smug. And what was his mother thinking calling her child Lenworth?

[Mamyalynne]

There's much more to Lenny than comedy, I like him.

[bednobs]

sorry i thought you were talking of him on the GN show

[retrocop]

I think the bloke is quite sad. He suffered racism as a kid and used humour as a foil to combat racism. It appeared to work in the playground and the bullying apparently decreased.
However I believe his attempt to conquer the world of humour as a commercial enterprise has failed abysmally.

[Cloverjo]

He seems to have done quite well, retrocop.

[bednobs]

"However I believe his attempt to conquer the world of humour as a commercial enterprise has failed abysmally."
really?

[Bobbisox1]

I’m willing to listen to what’s actually funny about him as a comedian?

[SparklyKid]

The funniest thing he did was to go to Arica with Dawn French and show the starving kids what is like to eat four meals a day.

[Mamyalynne]

He has done well Clover, TV , Films a dabble or two in Music , roles in Shakespeare which won acclaim and a Knighthood.

Decent CV.

[tonyav]

I like Lenny, he's from Dudley ain't he.

[pixie374]

My sister used to massage him while he was on tour. It sounds as though he was naturally funny and a real gentleman.

[Hopkirk]

I thought he was good, acting in the series called The Syndicate.
As a comedian, no he's never done it for me.

[Cloverjo]

That’s what I meant, mamya.

[gness]

What Mamya said....maybe not a brilliant comedian but a first class actor with a very impressive cv.

[tonyav]

I enjoyed his tv play about him growing up in Dudley a few years ago.

[Sam1960]

I enjoyed his "Big Amazon Adventure" where he spent two weeks in the rain forest with Lofty Wiseman. I thought it was really well made, and was quite funny as well. But not my greatest comedian.
