:

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. He eventually hits the big time after an appearance on TV, but an unscrupulous agent takes advantage and forces him to star in a minstrel show, leaving Danny at rock bottom
