SUMMARY:Author Event: Normally Weird & Weirdly Normal - Robin Ince
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets (£10/£8) \nIt’s a HUGE pleasure once again to welcome Robin Ince to Marsden\, with his latest book\, ‘Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal’. \nJoin us in the Mechanics for what’s sure to be a fast-paced\, humorous and insightful conversation about Robin’s own experience of neurodiversity.  There’ll be time to buy books\, and chat to Robin – and you’ll be able to get a copy of the paperback ahead of its official publication date of 30 April – EXCLUSIVE! \nA powerful\, personal exploration of anxiety\, ADHD and neurodiversity\, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all – no matter how weird we feel – that it’s okay to be a little different. We all are. \nWhat if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness\, but strength? \nFor 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. \nIn Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal\, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of “being normal” really is. Packed with personal insights\, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists\, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way\, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour. \n£10/£8 \n17th April\nDoors: 7pm\nEvent: 7.30pm – 8.30pm \nOn sale now – book online
