You know I've been trying for ten years and I still can't play that harp solo. So much raw talent up on stage there.

Great sketch, but silly song aside, Lenny can really sing. His space, phrasing and use of 'Blue' notes is excellent, he can definitely sing the blues!!

Seen some old blues guys in concert - and they are just like that! Brilliant.

He is probably one the greatest talents come out of uk ever, he has the ability to tell comical stories that are side splitting without venturing into the use of the expletives that some others use to be 'funny' he can act in straight roles and now sings, he also retained humbleness and charm that most big stars seem to lose as they gain fame .

classic lenny . i first watched this over 15 yrs ago a my uncles hous . wow good times . used to make me so happy

The man is a genius, so underrated - even by himself!

I can watch this clip over and over again!

Don't you ever sleep on Lenny Henry! He has me crying in laughter. Has a fan I expect the best form Mr. Henry. He continues to amaze me.

i love Lenny. i wish he'd come to the states. thak ypu for sharing this

The dance is wicked!!

This was television gold.

Man, this is The BLUES.

You know I loooove oxygen =D.

the face alone! :)

OOH SNAP WHAT THE WORLD MY BROTHER HERE IS VERY VERY FUNNY 😂 LOL SMH OFF

This was on an advert for a VHS tape of Robocop I have sitting somewhere, spent ages finding it, I didn't know it was Lenny Henry. Hahaha

I love those delays and deliberate repetitions, like old broken records.

If he isn’t Blob in The Masked Singer I’m gonna flip

Bahahahaha!! Aww what a legendary tribute!! Who wouldn't want to go see Lowdown Left-Handed Dirty Hound DAAAWWG?? :)

The Funniest man Alive!

I'm sure that John Lee Hooker would have loved this.

Brilliant

Does anyone have any footage of The "Fosters" A short sit com from the Seventies featuring lenny himself.? @ anyone

is lennys old jamaican character deacus on u tube?

"But your catipillas get right up my nuts" & "I'll howl for ya all night long and scratch my goolies infront of your friends" Best lines ever!! :D

I thought the stuttering was a nice touch. XD

KENICHI SHOULDERPADS

ROFL!!!!

"The Blues is where you meet a beautiful woman!...And she's wearing a shimmering white dress!...And you take her home!...And you make love all night long!...And next day you find out it's The Pope!".

Jeff Beck

@staffsmole Woops.... Sounded like nuts coz of when he laughs :$

It's funny because this what some blues singers are like. They just do a rambling monoloogue while some guy plays the kind of rhythm a kid plays on his first guitar lesson.

Who’s the guitarist?

More blues than Keith Richards!

Sounds like John Lee Hooker.

Anyone know from wich show this is??

If you say something witty or interesting I will respond to it.

...sure do like your vegetation but your catapillars get right up my nose.... the blue blues!

He should have done "True Identity" in his real voice.

theres a much funnier blues song better than this on lenny henry live and unleashed he does very good in that.

I like his impersonations best. Except when he impersonates a comedian. He never seems to pull that one off somehow.

how was the same routine funnier exactly? Or is this just you being a Beck fanboy?

Neither do you

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

on good form, lenny henry is one of the greatest stand ups this country has ever produced. this video is alright, though nowhere near lenny on top form.

Words and humour really aren't your thing. You're not Lenny Henry are you?

dated

Possibly the unfunniest man ever

I've just wasted six minutes of my life watching this rubbish! What on earth came over me?
