Normally Weird & Weirdly Normal – Robin Ince
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" ally is.
