Tilly's Legends at their GamE: Henry WINKLER
10 February
Launched into stardom as "The Fonz" in the beloved sitcom Happy Days, Henry Winkler has transcended the role that defined a generation of cool.

Dynamic, vivid, hilarious and emotional, Henry will take you from the achingly vulnerable lows to the stratospheres of global acclaim (chiefly his appearance at the 1976 Logies), the disheartening truth of an upbringing with undiagnosed dyslexia, to the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.
