Robin Ince: Pragmatic Insanity

Date: Thursday, Oct 5 2017
Time: 8:00pm
Venue: Tobacco Factory Theatres
Price: £14.50

Robin Ince’s first new stand-up show in three years is a clash of the two cultures, a joyous romp through his favourite artists and strangest scientific ideas. From the work of Stanley Spencer to Niels Bohr, it is 90 minutes fizzing with ideas about creativity in science and art, as well as asking why we believe we see what we see and why we believe what we believe.

Robin will have just finished a 70-date, record breaking tour with Brian Cox that concludes at Wembley Arena.

2017 will also see two new series of the award winning Infinite Monkey Cage and the publication of Robin’s new book, I’m a Joke…and So Are You (Atlantic Books).
