8th May – Robin Ince

Robin Ince is a comedian, writer, science communicator and bibliophile with an appetite for knowledge, bookshops, science and learning about anything and everything. His earlier books include Bibliomaniac and The Importance of Being Interested, and he appeared alongside Professor Brian Cox on The Infinite Monkey Cage. He returns to Bert’s Books for the third time to discuss his new book of poetry “Let the Quiet Ones Rise”, and celebrate the paperback release of his book “Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal”.

Join us at 7.00pm on Friday 8th May to hear Robin discuss his writing – undoubtedly with one or two tangents alone the way! There’ll be an opportunity to ask your questions – and get your books signed!

You won’t get a physical ticket, we’ll add your name to our list and let you in on the night!

Normally Weird & Weirdly Normal – Robin Ince

For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air.

But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play - a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones. In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of "being normal" ally is.
