Never afraid to tell the world what he really thought, Kenny Everett's career was chequered with controversy. In 1970 he was fired from his job at the BBC for making an accusatory comment about a government minister's wife, and received backlash for his vocal support of Margaret Thatcher and the conservative party.

This documentary follows the life and laughter of Kenny Everett. He was a pioneering comedian, unafraid to venture into rebellious or controversial subject matter. Speaking to those who knew him throughout his career, we explore his struggle with his own identity. Kenny was never afraid to ruffle feathers, though many praised him for his candour and unfiltered attitudes. The film hears from both sides, hearing from those offended by some of his comedy as well as those who loved him.
