About this Event

Robin Ince is many things. A multi award winning comedian, author, broadcaster, bibliomaniac and a populariser of scientific ideas. He is perhaps best known as the former co-host and co-creator of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox.

As a stand up Robin has toured the world and as an author he has written four acclaimed books, including Bibliomaniac, earned him the prestigious Booksellers Association Author of the Year award. His fifth, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal is published in May 2025.

He co-created the Cosmic Shambles Network and created the groundbreaking science variety night Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People which has been adapted worldwide. He has received an Honorary Fellowship of UCL, an honorary doctorate from Royal Holloway College (University of London), and is a fellow of the British Science Association

Steffan Alun is a standup comedian from Swansea. Influenced by a Welsh-language upbringing, the bisexual optimist performs regularly at the UK’s top comedy clubs. He’s supported Elis James on tour, he’s a familiar face at the Machynlleth and Aberystwyth Comedy Festvails, and is the creator of the translation-based standup show Comedy Translates.

In 2025, his hugely-anticipated debut hour at the Edinburgh Fringe received a string of glowing reviews, and was awarded the Pegasus Award for Best Newcomer. Since then, he’s been touring the UK, made his debut on Radio 4, as well as working on new shows for the future.
