About this Event

A new book from the fabulous Robin Ince will always be occasion to celebrate, so celebrate we will!


Join us for an evening of weirdness and wonder as Robin reads from his latest poetry collection - Let the Quiet Ones Rise : Poems about standing up and standing out - and invites us into the world of his last nonfiction, fresh into paperback: Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal : My Adventures in Neurodiversity.


Robin Ince is many things. A comedian, an author, a broadcaster and a populariser of scientific ideas. A campaigner of huge integrity and a joyous performer. The Guardian once declared him a ‘becardiganed polymath’ which seems about right.

SO! Join us for an evening of words and ideas and protest with the motor mouth, easily diverted, ever beguiling storyteller that is Robin Ince.
