A free lunchtime chat with the legendary library loving Robin Ince!Robin Ince is many things. A comedian, an author, a broadcaster and a populariser of scientific ideas. The Guardian once declared him a ‘becardiganed polymath’ which seems about right.
He is probably best known as the co-host of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox. He also co-hosts the podcast Book Shambles with Josie Long, An Uncanny Hour and Science Shambles with Dr Helen Czerski, all three of which are a part of The Cosmic Shambles Network, which he also co-created.
His most recent book, I’m a Joke and So Are You, was described by Chortle as ‘one of the best books ever written about what it means to be a comedian’. He also wrote the book, The Bad Book Club, and has edited and written short stories for two volumes of Dead Funny: Horror Stories by Comedians, as well as writing and presenting documentaries about the history of self-help, comedians and melancholy, Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, Richard Feynman, General Relativity and Dr Seuss.
He's also a well know Library-lover, bibliophile and supporter of libraries , and we are absolutely chuffed to invite him to Exeter to talk about books, libraries and the importance of a lifelong curiosity, as well as delving into his hugely varied & brilliant career.
This event will feature a Q&A and last for just over an hour. There won't be refreshments but you're welcome to bring your own, and the cafe downstairs. Spaces are limited so please do book your free place in advance.
