Robin Ince: Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal Book Event
ebb & flo bookshop are excited to be welcoming back Robin Ince to the Chorley Theatre stage for a performance based on his new book.
Robin will be talking about and reading from his most personal book yet, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal . Inspired by an autistic stranger contacting him and asking if he would like to talk about his mind, Robins world has changed very much for the better. Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all no matter how weird we feel that its okay to be a little different. We all are. What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasnt 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. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones.
In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal , Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of "being normal" really is. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour.
Robin Ince is a comedian, actor and writer. The Guardian once declared him a 'becardiganed polymath' which seems about right. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including The Importance of Being Interested and I'm a Joke and So Are You . 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. He also won Celebrity Mastermind but forgot that calcium was the dominant element of chalk. After being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 52, he finally has an excuse.
Books will be available to buy on the night and Robin will be signing in the bar.
