Author Robin Ince invites you to his new show that mixes poetry and happy stories about the things that have made life delightful, from Doctor Who and horror movies, to the camaraderie of protest marches and his love of dishevelled cemeteries.
It offers an insight into his new book Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth - a series of poems written about love, death and Bela Lugosi (and graves, trees and Judi Dench).
This is Robin's debut collection of poems and includes a selection that are connected to the neurodivergent themes of his recent book Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal.
At the Morecambe Poetry Festival 2023, Robin was officially handed his Poetic Licence (it is real, he’ll show it to you if you ask, and often if you don’t).
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 co-host and co-creator of the Sony Gold Award winning BBC Radio 4 series The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox.
