Meet Rudi Lickwood, an extremely successful black British comedian. His stand-up performances have thrilled audiences around the world, graced the television screen and radio waves, crossed over to mainstream comedy, and been welcomed by big business. The comedian was voted one of Jongleurs best, earned staus in the "Black 100+" awards for the greatest Black British Achievers, picked up a BECA award for outstanding contribution to comedy, and became an EMMA award nominee in 2021.
But Rudi is about much more than comedy. In this book, he illustrates the history of black comedy in England from his perspective as a comedy pioneer. He also reveals how he uses humour to inspire personal growth, educate and rehabilitate criminals, and improve literacy.
