An Evening with Robin Ince

He's back! We love Robin Ince and are thrilled to be welcoming him to Stockport for a third time in support of not one, but two new titles - Let the Quiet Ones Rise and paperback release of Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal.

Full of anger, empathy and compassion, Let the Quiet Ones Rise is Robin's second collection of instinctual poetry about standing up and standing out, about considering the sadness of being alone but also the happiness of finding people who empower you.

Released in hardback last year and now in paperback, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal is a powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and neurodiversity that reminds us all – no matter how weird we feel – that it's okay to be a little different. We all are.

The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and booksigning.

Tickets start from £5.00 with book and ticket options available. Light refreshments are included in the ticket price.

Event starts at 6:30pm (doors at 6pm)
