Henry Normal uses poetry, storytelling and comedy to tackle big subjects with his trademark humour. This collection includes five of his funny and moving BBC Radio 4 shows:A Normal Family is centred around Henry's son, Johnny, who was diagnosed with autism. Through stand-up and poetry, Henry explores what this means for Johnny, for himself, and for his wife, Angela. A Normal Life continues to draw on Henry's experiences of bringing up a child with autism, and tackles the subjects of life, death, loneliness, loss, human frailty and other classic conversation stoppers. A Normal Love sees Henry explore love, romance and other unreasonable expectations. A Normal Imagination looks at the reasons why humans create. A Normal Nature is an exploration of unsung nature, from the point of view of a busy urban human. These extended episodes include material never broadcast on the radio. 'It's a rare and lovely thing: half an hour of radio that stops you short, gently demands your attention and then wipes your tears away while you have to have a little sit down' - The Guardian A Normal Life was awarded a Silver ARIA for Best Comedy/Entertainment production at the 2017 Radio Academy Awards. Written and performed by Henry Normal. Produced by Carl Cooper. A BBC Studios Production.
