We are delighted to be hosting award winning broadcaster, comedian and author Robin Ince in-store for a discussion about his latest book, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal: My Adventures in Neurodiversity.
Robin Ince is a comedian, actor and writer. With Professor Brian Cox, he created and presents the award-winning BBC Radio 4 show The Infinite Monkey Cage, which ranks among the most popular science podcasts worldwide.
What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness, but strength?
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. After his ADHD diagnosis at the age of fifty-two, it all started to make sense.
In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the fascinating world of neurodivergence and to ask what normal really is – and whether it even exists. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with therapists, neuroscientists and celebrities, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of neuroscience and human behaviour.
A powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and self-acceptance, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all - no matter how weird we feel - that it’s okay to be a little different.
Following the dicussion, there will be time for an audience Q+A, as well as a book signing with Robin.
Please note this event is 18+.
Tea and coffee will be provided. Feel free to bring your own tipple.
