Stephen K Amos: Murder, he wrote
Subject
Interviews
Description
He once joked that British TV couldn’t cope with more than one black comedian at a time – now Stephen K Amos is getting his own BBC series. And he hasn’t even had to kill Lenny Henry, he explains. There’s a perfectly timed moment in one of Stephen K Amos’s earlier routines: “The ultimate goal is to have my own TV show,” he tells the audience. “But, as we all know, the BBC have a diversity policy. Apparently I have to wait for Lenny Henry to die.”
