Robin Ince for Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal

Join Robin Ince, comedian, actor writer and 'becardiganed polymath', to celebrate the paperback of Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal. In this powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and neurodiversity, this book reminds us all - no matter how weird we feel - that it's 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 wasn't a sign of weakness, but of 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 life 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. After being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifty-two - as chronicled in his memoir Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal - he finally has an excuse.
