A special London launch event for comedian and writer, Robin Ince’s new book, ‘The Importance of Being Interested’.

Award winning comedian, Robin Ince quickly abandoned science at school, bored by a fog of dull lessons and intimidated by the barrage of equations. But, twenty years later, he fell back in love with science and now presents one of the world’s most popular science radio shows and podcasts, The Infinite Monkey Cage, with Professor Brian Cox. His new book The Importance of Being Interested: Adventures in Scientific Curiosity deals with some of the most daunting ideas about our universe and ourselves, charting Robin’s changing understanding through personal stories as well as a remarkable array of interviewees.

In this special London launch event Robin will be joined on stage by Dr Helen Czerski, David McAlmont, Helen Zaltzman, Hugh Warwick, Dr Katie Mack and other special guests. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event and Robin will be available for signings.

Presented by the Cosmic Shambles Network
