• Rob Delaney and Benjamin Law: Are cockroaches attracted to human tears, and if so, why? Why does orange juice taste so gross after you’ve brushed your teeth? People who load the toilet roll under/behind style are monsters – how do they sleep at night? Can people change? Rob Delaney is ready for The Interrobang’s strange and awkward stuff. An actor, author and particularly Twitter-famous stand-up comic, Delaney is currently co-writing and co-starring in the critically-lauded Channel 4 sitcom Catastrophe. He’s also a regular contributor to outlets like Vice and the Guardian – delving into questions about war, homophobia, abortion, feminism and more – and has written openly about his rumbles with severe clinical depression and alcoholism. So: what do you want to talk about? In the opening session of the Wheeler Centre’s inaugural Festival of Questions, Rob will go weird (and a little deep) on all of modern life’s confusion and hilarity with fellow commentator, author and memoirist Benjamin Law. Benjamin’s books include Gaysia: Adventures in the Queer East, Shit Asian Mothers Say (co-written with his sister Michelle) and The Family Law, currently being adapted for TV. Join us for a conversation between two men prone to asking questions of their respective pasts – laced with devious wit, scatological detail and unadorned honesty.
