Lenny Henry writes and stars in a drama based on his own life as a teenager in 1970s Dudley. When Danny Fearon (Kascion Franklin) wins a local talent competition he soon finds himself working on the comedy circuit, where audiences can't get enough of his impressions of Muhammad Ali, Tommy Cooper and Frank Spencer.
