In part two, Lenny will be interviewed by friend, broadcaster and author Jon Canter, for further insights into his life and career, followed by questions from the audience. He writes about his time and own personal struggle staring in the 'Black and White Minstrel Show', and writes about his family being on the breadline for so long and his upbringing. In the first half of the evening, Lenny will take the audience through a jam session of funny and sad memories and stories – from growing up in the Black Country, puberty, school, friendship, family secrets and unashamed racism. With his mother’s mantra of ‘H’integration’ echoing in his ears, Lenny will recount setting out on his rollercoaster ride of a career – but at every stage wondering: Am I good enough? Is this what they want? Who Am I, Again covers Henrys early years of life, from being born in the UK right in the process of his family immigrating from Jamaica all the way up to the 1980s.
