Robin Ince – Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal: My Adventures in Neurodiversity

One of the hardest working comedians on the touring circuit, Robin Ince was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of fifty-two: all of a sudden, his concealed struggles with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and anxiety started to make sense. With more and more adults and children being diagnosed as neurodiverse, Robin uses his own experiences to talk about what “normal” is – and whether it really exists. With plenty of anecdotes, stories and laughs along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of neuroscience and human behaviour, and a reminder to everyone; no matter how weird we feel, it’s okay to be a little different.  

Chaired by Harry Pearson
