Hoping to shift enough tickets for these shows to keep this tour a possibility - looks like I burnt too many bridges to be viable

Podcast thing

A stream of consciousness monologue on creativity , anxiety, death, and poetry www.patreon.com/RobinInce/po...

As a train gets busy , I worry that sitting on the outside seat may look selfish , so I move to the window and then feel anxious and hemmed for the rest of the journey - how about you ?

These are dispiriting times for many touring performers - Birmingham , Cardiff and London all proving hard sells - a deep sense of personal failure crosstownconcerts.seetickets.com/search?c=27&...

Hi @robinince.bsky.social, I enjoyed your discussion on scary poetry etc. on the Scarred for Life podcast very much. shows.acast.com/scarredforli...

I always find this very difficult , because I am addicted, but I am going to try very hard to take a step back from performing. I have said no to everything offered in 2027 (bar the Slapstick festival). I hope I can stick to it.

RSD in livid action

For years I’ve worked out alibis for why things have not sold as well as they should , but I need to accept that I’ve just been making excuses - all those gleeful anti trans activists are right - whatever the success of Monkey Cage , people only want to see one of the presenters

I am very excited to be doing a mini tour with Josie Long in November - sadly my excitement seems to be far greater than the ticket buying public - Cardiff, London , Bath , Leeds, Glasgow , Birmingham - hope it picks up www.seetickets.com/tour/josie-l...

Fantastic line up at the Berkhamsted Book Festival one dayer - tickets here berkofest.com 1st November

Sorry I fizzled out

Long journey home , so #poetrychallenge - what would you like me to write about ?

Book companions for return journey from Taunton - both plucked from the fine shelves of Brendon Books

#poetrychallenge the last butterfly

I’ve been very slack with my #poetrychallenge of late - what would you like me to write about on my way to Taunton

reading my own book in preparation for tonight’s gig - always intriguing seeing the finished product - the editing process is chaos time in my brain - now I have no choice but to be calm as it is done & it’s cheery to find sentences you like penguinrandomhousehighereducation.com/book/?isbn=9...

This is the RSS feed for my current podcasts including two excerpts from my new book The Future of Jokes www.patreon.com/rss/RobinInc... My first event about it is tonight in Taunton www.tacchi-morris.com/robin-ince-t... #comedy #jokes #books
