Rising to the Surface traces Lenny Henry’s career through the 80s and 90s.
The 16-year-old who won a talent competition, now has to navigate his way through the seas of professional comedy, learning his craft through sheer graft and hard work. We follow Lenny through a period of great creativity – prize-winning tv programmes, summer seasons across Britain, the starring role in a Hollywood film, and stand-up gigs in New York.
But with each rise there is a fall, the most traumatic being the death of his mother.
But by the end of the book he has been able to rise through a sea of troubles and breaks out to the surface to accept the Golden Rose of Montreaux for his work in television.

Prompt, pleasant, and professional. CYBER GENIE knows its stuff and is precise in recommending solutions with its internet and cyber expertise. Really refreshing to be working with such transparent and efficient comp, they are fast in response and keep their clients updated when hired. I hired them to help me recover my FTX Coins after the crash and they did a great job recovering my lost crypto coins. Aside from the impeccable hacking company, it's the servicing that makes you want to continue working with them. ([email protected]) is their email.
