Robin Ince

In 2005, Ince began running the Book Club night at The Albany, London, where acts are encouraged to perform turns of new and experimental material. The club gets its name from Ince’s attempts to read aloud from - and humorously criticise - various second-hand books which the audience and himself have brought in for the occasion. The Book Club proved to be so successful that Robin took it on a full UK tour in 2006, the same year he won the Time Out Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy.

Throughout 2008, Robin has had a unique residency at Dorchester Arts Centre trying out new stuff for his coming shows. He has also appeared at Glastonbury and Latitude Festivals.
