Event information

Join celebrated comedian, writer, podcast host and activist Robin Ince to discuss neurodivergence and hear from his latest poetry book, which looks at loneliness and hope.

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 former co-host and co-creator of the Sony Gold Award-winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox.

As a stand up Robin has toured the world, and as an author he has written four acclaimed books, including Bibliomaniac, which earned him the prestigious Booksellers Association Author of the Year award. His fifth, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, was published in May 2025.

He co-created the Cosmic Shambles Network and created the ground-breaking science variety night 'Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People' which has been adapted worldwide. He has received an Honorary Fellowship of UCL, an honorary doctorate from Royal Holloway College (University of London), and is a fellow of the British Science Association.
