HD Preview: Lenny Henry Hosts Live at the Apollo - BBC One

[gunnersgirl04]

The bloke behind Lemar clearly didn't know who he was till Lenny Henry started singing If There's Any Justice... ha!

[withnail555]

Unfunny fat cunt with a Dawn French sized chip on his shoulder.

[xHaniffax]

TUNE pahahaha

[SirrSnowman]

d'yano what i'd rather have the leukaemia

[hassanane]

I didnt know Emile Heskey did Stand-up?

[DriftK13]

LMFAO!!!

[Ackworth97]

Loved him in the Premier Inn Adverts. Especially that Shining one! GOOO LENNNYYY! :)

[kansasinnovember]

the worst "comedian" to ever be given airtime on tv.

[anaaa771]

I love his suit! :D

[debluemonkey]

Ironic because the first time watching this on youtube it was really slow, so when lenny made fun of youtube I laughed so hard!

[peter7409]

that made me laugh wot a sad twat. take it easy

[peter7409]

henry is a very sad man he married that ugly woman to get on that didnt work. he has never been funny, always using his colour to get on. he is pitiful and pathetic. why wont he go away. its embarrassing to watch. all he ever does is scream and do bad impressions. he is a a very depressing sad man, and very talentless. and the colour thing thats a disgrace to use that. but thats henry for you. he should just fade away and never come back.

[TheESCALADO]

@peter7409 I 100% agree Lenny Henry is a 'Never Was' Has Been, a very sad individual.

I used to work at a BP Garage near Reading, when Henry & French lived in Shinfield. He was always in the store buying 'out of date' fresh foods and mountains of chocolate.

The tightwad even bought his Easter Eggs there.

[joe89nufc]

0.17 he sounds like a bear choking on a wasp lol

[GLORD99092]

Lenny was in before no?

[RandomVideo95]

Gloomyoutlook You're so right. Hate YouTube on iPod. Doesn't work for shit. Wish I could see this guy, he's amazing...

[digireedoo]

@RandomVideo95 Don't buy an iPod then, buy something that actually works and doesn't line Steve Job's wanky pockets......

[gloomyoutlook]

That YouTube thing is well accurate if you're watching on iPod in bed. Most vids stop at between 6-20 seconds and need to load D:

[YellowPompleMousse]

lemar! hotstuffs :) and the guy was pretty funny

[coltsuperocean10]

"Baboon, baboon"!!! Lets see who gets that!!

[JediSlayer22]

@coltsuperocean10 That was Stephen K Amos.

[SeedofCreed]

He saw the future

[dfarmbrough]

Good to see Lenny - he's always innovating and doing something different. But is his head getting smaller or is his body getting bigger?

[datnotfair]

[theTRUE1414]

[jamspice11]

[xttocx]

haha.. i was searching for one of his dvds the other day and to my horror i found out they NEVER released it on dvd so what a waste of time! haha i wish they did... it was amazing... Live and Loud 1984 soooooo good!

[SamJPurchase]

[SamJPurchase]

haha

[liamwba13]

West Brom Fan :D

[chelsea4life1905]

hes so shit

[arsenallad]

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE,AWFUL MAN.

[Loveseekingmissile]

The host must be using a 56k modem if he's Youtube lags that bad.

[fireofdragon2]

yh i know and we can watch in HD, so im actually watching at a higher quality than on my tv lol

[dormanbenton]

See that could have been a smart joke but Lenny seems a bit behind the times. Yeah, Youtube and dial up do not go together. I really like the guy but he needs to take his volume level down a notch. It's giving me a headache. He is an insainly good actor/performer but he should focus more on writing a better act. I could never watch an hour of his stand-up if it is like this. I'm am a legit fan and I am saying this!

[DazzyCraggus]

lenny henry

[orangepuffafish]

My absolute favourite comdeian, since The Lenny Henry Show days. (Then Lee Evans, of course.) Love it.

[angelboo2008]

lmao still the classic funny guy

[backerei1]

lenny henry was the only funny guy on this episode of apollo. i absolutely wet myself laughing, he is hilarious and its so great to see him back on telly. at least he's not like that stephen amos bloke who does the same material over and over again. lenny = legend!

[hia02cot]

i was really impressed by this gig glad he's back

[MentalProcess]

your not funny, sucks to be you

[pepinodinapoli]

It's just such a shame, after 20 years on our screens, he has to resort to this kind of material. surely the sight of a mostly white (be it a bunch of venal, redundant celebrities) laughing very nervously at this racially driven drivel, is enough to encourage him to write something, well, funny. Please Lenny, make us laugh insinctively again, its your job. Please do not force a load of dated black jokes down our throats. we are quite aware of your ethnicity. So what?.

[MentalProcess]

from your neak name you look like a complecated person who doesnt take his life simple and say '' haha nice joke, bad joke '' and would rather to complecate it by posting long ass boring commen. so sad

[Jamie7Smith]

Lenny Henry is without a doubt one of the best comedians alive..how can u say hes awful seriously? Frankie boyle is funny fair enough but u cannot for one minute say lenny henry is crap cos he aint..

[MentalProcess]

aww, i leave a message to some guy and you get insulted,.. PS: no one cares what you think ..

if you are crying give me your address and ill send you some tissues

[bestsupportingactor1]

lenny henry is awesome really you guys really have no respect for comedy. he is one of the best.

[scouse160]

anyone no wat the hip hop songs are called he played on the show please let me no thanks :)

[MentalProcess]

ya liverpool people talk just like that :D

[AznBoy2k8]

best comedian on last night, wheres the video where he does the ali shuffle?

[ruudvanbrown]

I watched the show tonight and I think he is a good physical comedian in terms of facial expressions etc but his material is so dated, his set has barely changed in last 10 years. Basically the jokes go "i'm black and I got beaten by my parents. Just think it all seems a bit tired and uninspired.

[MentalProcess]

oo wow you have the ability to observe ..are you a detective ?

[JonathanRichardz]

One of the funniest guys LIVE

[clockIzTicking]

Seems like Lenny is the only person still using dial-up

[jin37uk]

man he sucks

[MentalProcess]

or maybe your brain lacks of intellegance therefore you dont understand the jokes

[jin37uk]

talk about irony, you can't even spell intelligence!! hahahaaaa idiot, not suprised you enjoy watching Lenny Henry, although I suppose it's because he's at your pitiful level of intelligence..fool get some english lessons

[PeteMP1992]

Hello Lenny from Youtube before its broadcast on TV.

[PauloPelle14]

Iplayer here I come!

[5pintsplease]

best show on tv

[fivepointsix]

about as funny as hitting your thumb with a hammer.

[mrbean19911]

Live at the Apollo is bloody class

:D

[ukadch22]

dammit i thought he said MARK Lemar at the start, gutted

[QueenAreTheBest]

Same i was thinking he's not dead! oh its him lol

[Jemeela]

hahahahahahahahahahaha

[mitchell60]

If lenny NOT FUNNY Henry was white he would have never had a gig in his life

[Radmain]

LOL IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS IN 6 WEEKS TIME ON YOUTUBE, i loled so hard!!!

[c00m8zy]

the first bit dint make sence bout youtube

[NicNasty1981]

lenny has never been on youtube.

[Saeleyjnr]

Lenny mate, you're not funny. Go back to the comedy wilderness and stop giving your wife all those chocolate orange's

[bluescousa]

tho to be fair, lenny mate, your scouse accent has been better in the past! ha ha ha!

[bluescousa]

mfaulkner90..... u are right, kojo, is HILLARIOUS! but lenny is a legend in british comedy ( not just black comedy either) he faught hard to stay on tv, he fought hard in his private life by marrying dawn french, i sayt his.... lenny is THE MAN, THE LEGEND! give props where props is due. 30 yrs or so in the game and still comeinback fresh all the time. LENNY! RESPECT BROTHER! keep on keepin on!

[ukadch22]

lol i dont think he had to fight hard to marry dawn french

[bluescousa]

inter-racial relationships are still..... "frowned upon", i know, my girlfriend is black and im white, they went thru some shit. but they rose aove it, lenny and dawn are amazing!

[ukadch22]

i was joking, i meant he would have much competition cos she's fugly

[bluescousa]

she really isnt ! lol, she a big girl, no doubting that! BUT she is far from fugly! ( not my type, by the way, but she isnt fugly!)

[tezzavid]

Shouting aint funny. He's never even made me smile.

[TLCABC123]

he just copied off peter kay with the whole granny thing.

[mrcrackerfeld]

peter kay should woop lenny's backside for it

[TLCABC123]

yeah he should thats serious plagiarism, i mean he could have at least tried to change it a little like say grandad instead of granny.

[roxypoxyrules]

Lenny Len Lenny Lenny Henry! woo hoo!

[nagib9191]

lol

[Laffington]

I never knew he did the Apollo! Go Lenny

[CheekTV]

Lenny is such a UK legend. x

[angelicMisha]

Despite some people not liking Henry, I enjoy his comedic style, and I look forward to watching on Friday. :)

[welshwayne]

over rated. crap, wouldnt go and him if it was for free.

[Just2BeWithHer]

legend !

[mrcrackerfeld]

david lammy is funny because hes a special needs thicky

[mrcrackerfeld]

lammy got stuck on ds brain train until the batteries went flat

[ReelChange]

Thanks for uploading these HD clips. Great quality. Does anyone know how the compression on this video compares to the typical rates on the BBC HD channel?

[nahemnahem]

If you hate him why are you watching this?

[phillace]

about as funny as cancer . i hate him !

[mfaulkner90]

He really should have given up 10 years ago. He's that bad. I know the bbc are trying to fill a racial quota but there are better black comedians out there than him - Kojo for example.

[kebabuk]

who is kojo it sounds like a monky :)

[XsweetstarliteX]

yh kojo is waaay funnier x

[GrandiaKnight]

going to be a good one! Lenny is a legend!

[Hazzoufc]

Funny man and loving the HD clips. Thanks!
