About this listen
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.

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.

The trials and tribulations he's been through from an early age to become one of the nations funniest acts. His use of humour to deflect what was a very racist period in our history was brutally honest
but inspiring. If only we'd learned from his approach to it all we wouldn't have the issues we still have today.
Being a Black Country lad I could relate to all the places etc he mentioned but there's something for everyone in this book irrespective of your place of birth, so listen, laugh and enjoy.
