Robin Ince – Henley Literary Festival

So what made Robin a comedian? In a vain but glorious attempt to find out, the stand-up star and presenter of radio’s Infinite Monkey Cage interviewed fellow comics – such as Ricky Gervais, Jo Brand and Tim Minchin as well as neuroscientists, psychologists and doctors – to find out why he is who he is, and why he gets up on stage to make people laugh for I’m a Joke and So Are You: A Comedian’s Take on What Makes Us Human.
