British Comedy Guide

Can you help me find a performance from the '90s?

I'm looking for a performance I had on a cassette in the early '90s. I don't know who the performer is or what the show was called but I do remember some of the contents.

He talks about his friend Brian who's the whitest guy he knows. Brian had albinos walking up to him telling him he needs to get some sun.

He also talks about his childhood when he was in the basement reading a book and to get some light he took a bottle, filled it with paraffin, put a sock in it and called it a lamp. Others might have called it a Molotov cocktail.

Is there anyone here who remembers it and can point me in the right direction?

Off the top of my head it sounds like it could be Alexei Sayle.

Thank you for your reply.

However, I don't think it was Alexei. The voice and accent in my head is different and I know of Alexei and some of his work.

Also, with the risk of seeming totally ignorant, I pretty sure he's black, possibly of Jamaican decent. He had a British accent though. :)

Lenny Henry?
