ROBIN INCE: THE FUTURE OF JOKES
Taunton Literary Festival 2026
Join Robin Ince for an evening of non-stop entertainment, comment and interaction with the audience.
We are not quite sure what to expect (and nor does Robin until he mounts the stage), but it will definitely include something about his new book, The Future of Jokes and there will be definitely be some poetry reading from his recent book Let the Quiet Ones Rise, as well reading from his new poetry book due in October (for which at the time of writing we do not have the title), and there will no doubt be references to his recent book on neurodiversity Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal that came out in its paperback edition this year! Plus as numerous references to all sorts of other books which are his enduring passion.
Whatever happens, it is guaranteed to be an unforgettable evening and there will be an opportunity to have personalised signed copies of some of his books following the event.
