Robin Ince and The Universe and The Neurodiverse; Comedy Event

We are proud to host Robin Ince and his new Comedy Show at Vicars Cross Community Centre on 31st May, 2025, doors at 7pm for 7.30pm start. Tickets £10 from Ticketsource or directly from Claire at VXCC.

The Universe and the Neurodiverse is a journey from the outermost planets to our innermost thoughts.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see multi award winning comedian, author, broadcaster and a populariser of scientific ideas Robin Ince! For over 30 years Robin Ince has been discharging fascinating thoughts, unusual knowledge, and infectious excitement into the universe from presenting the BBC radio show The Infinite Monkey Cage with physicist Brian Cox, creating Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People to co-creating The Cosmic Shambles Network, and his stand-up comedy. Always keen to explore new avenues of communication, he has also recently been exploring poetry and was officially given his Poetic License at the 2024 Morecambe Poetry Festival.

Combining poetry, stories, jokes and music, this show explores what it is to be human and the incredible diversity of our minds. It is a show about Jane Goodall and chimpanzees, about Apollo 8 and the Earthrise image, about our environment, about climate change, about neurodiversity and it is about finding joy and inspiration. It is a show created to empower and activate.

It is both Robin’s most personal and most universal show and the tour will coincide with the publication of his latest book Normally Weird…Weirdly Normal (Pan Macmillan) and then his first poetry collection, Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth (flapjack) comes out in October 2025.
