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.
