WHAT do you get if you mix a life-time of children's television, comic strip, television drama and some of the best stand up around?

Lenny Henry of course, and he is back on stage with his new stand up show and coming to Ipswich very soon.

"Have You Seen This Man?" Tour 2002 combines all the elements that make Lenny unique. Impressions, characterisations and a love all things naughty but nice.

Lenny talks about his mother's legendary trip to England in the 50s, being a 21st century guy and many other things based on the observations and characterisations he has become so renowned for.

"Stand up is my first love. I have been doing it since I was 16. The trick is to find new ways of presenting my observations," he said.

Lenny's first brush with fame was winning "New Faces" by doing impressions of Frank Spencer.

Impersonations and characterisations have formed an important part of his career through children's television, Comic Strip and other successful television work like Chef and Hope & Glory.

Lenny is also soon to return to our screens in his Golden Rose of Montreux winning comedy series, "Lenny Henry in Pieces".
