In 1989, Lenny Henry achieved a rare distinction for a British comedian: a concert film entirely focused on him. The film opens with a driver, played by Robbie Coltrane, giving him a ride to the venue – a driver who seems unsettlingly unreliable. Inside, Henry encounters portrayals of three of his comedic idols: Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy, all played by Henry himself. The concert then unfolds, blending stand-up comedy with appearances from his most popular characters and interspersed with humorous musical numbers.
