It's a classic case of leeching off other comedians - think Skinner and unfunny Baddiel - now he's on his own people are starting to wake up to the fact he's not funny. 3 of kind in the 80's he relied on other people.
I reckon it's because he's black the industry are wary of dropping him completely for fear of any backlash.
Let's face it, there's never been any funny black comedians that don't do the "I'm a black person and..." or "You white folk are..." or "My mother/father..." in a bad Jamaican accent cards.
Apart from Richard Blackwood, he's a genius.

A fair point but I don't think 'real' black comedians such as Richard Prior or Chris Rock had their routines based around those topics as Mr Henry et al do. IMHO obviously. Gassing Station | TV, Film, Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
