Robin Ince - Let the Quiet Ones Rise

Words, Ideas, and a Man in a Cardigan

Robin Ince is the kind of performer who arrives with three tangents already in progress — and this is the ideal setting for him.

The evening draws from two of his recent books: Let the Quiet Ones Rise, a poetry collection about standing up and standing out, and Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, his nonfiction exploration of neurodiversity, newly out in paperback. Comedian, author, broadcaster, co-host of The Infinite Monkey Cage with Brian Cox — The Guardian once called him a "becardiganed polymath," which is accurate.

Expect words, ideas, a fair amount of digression, and the particular energy of someone who has genuinely too many things to tell you. Tickets £5–£8.50.

The Sanctuary Room is an intimate venue — worth booking ahead.
