About this Event

Robin Ince is many things. A multi award winning comedian, author, broadcaster, bibliomaniac and a populariser of scientific ideas. He is perhaps best known as the co-host and co-creator of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox.

His debut poetry collection, "Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth: Poems about life, death, and the odd bits in between" pursues the psychological essence of personal and societal wellbeing, explored through experiential neurodivergence and humanism.

“Choice words chosen wisely. Highly recommended for all humans who retain their humanity.”

- Henry Normal

“Poetry to play and replay as each poem’s colours change and layers of meaning glow.”

- Dr Kathryn Mannix

“A brief moment of connection, slipped between the pages of a hectic world.” Reece Shearsmith“Full of love and wonder. Deeply humane and tender.”

- Josie Long

“Bright snapshots of where we are, our nature and humanity, our sensitivities, our rage and our happiness.”

- Salena Godden


James Matthewson is a writer, broadcaster and political commentator.
