Lenny Henry is a British comedian and actor who is regarded as a national treasure within the entertainment industry.

He co-presented the children’s show TisWas between 1978 and 1981, he starred in the BBC sitcom Chef! (1993-1996) and he hosted BBC One’s The Magicians (2011-2012).

Fans will also recognise Lenny Henry as the cofounder of Comic Relief, a British charity set up by the comedian and script writer Richard Curtis in 1985 in response to the famine in Ethiopia. 

Comic Relief is best known for implementing Red Nose Day, where the public donates to the charity in return for a red nose as part of an annual fundraising campaign to end child poverty.

He was knighted by the Queen in 2015, making his full name Sir Lenworth George Henry CBE.
