Robin Ince is a comedian, author, broadcaster and, in his words, “professional idiot”. He’s the co-creator and presenter of the BBC Radio 4 show The Infinite Monkey Cage, which has won multiple awards and the author of I’m a Joke and So Are You. He won Celebrity Mastermind, is in the Guinness Book Records for his world tour with Brian Cox, hosts a number of podcasts and is the author of a wonderful new book: The Importance of Being Interested: Adventures in Scientific Curiosity.
