About The Event

TV and Film writer Henry Normal draws from his bestselling book  'A Normal Family', co-written with his wife Angela Pell, to tell the story of life with their severely autistic son, Johnny.

The book has inspired a number of BBC radio 4 shows and Henry believes it is his most important written work. 

Steve Amos,  author of 'Two Sides of an Indie Dad', will be opening for Henry. Steve regularly performs his work at events around Hastings.

More about Henry

Henry first started writing when he joined a writers’ group at his local library in Nottingham. Then, with the help of a £40 a week enterprise allowance scheme award, he started performing his work in front of audiences, anywhere he could – in factories, hospitals even the top deck of buses. And he started touring – opening for bands including Pulp. He also became their tour bus driver!
