Sir Lenny Henry in Conversation with Gyles Brandreth is a special live event taking place at Riverside Studios\, Hammersmith\, on Tuesday 14 April 2026 at 7pm\, as part of the venue’s 50th anniversary celebrations. \nBroadcaster\, author and wit Gyles Brandreth — familiar to audiences from Just a Minute and Celebrity Gogglebox — will interview Sir Lenny about his remarkable journey from groundbreaking stand-up comedian to one of the UK’s most versatile and prolific creative forces.

He has since gone on to achieve enormous success across stand-up\, acting\, writing\, directing\, and advocacy for diversity in the arts. \nAudiences will be invited to submit questions for Sir Lenny in advance of the evening\, creating an interactive element to this very special occasion. \nEvery ticket purchased helps sustain Riverside Studios as an inclusive\, accessible cultural hub\, supporting emerging artists and new writing for future generations. \nWhen: Tuesday 14 April 2026\, 7:00pm–8:30pm (approx.)\nWhere: Riverside Studios\, 101 Queen Caroline Street\, Hammersmith\, London W6 9BN\nTickets: Available at riversidestudios.co.uk
