Free tickets are available for part two of Henry Normal's occasional radio series using poetry, storytelling and comedy to explore life's big questions. 

Last year Normal brought us A Normal Family, which centred around his son, Johnny, who was diagnosed with "mildly severe" autism. In this profound, funny and moving show, Normal explored what this meant for his family. 

In this new recording, entitled A Normal Life, Normal draws again on his experiences of bringing up a child with autism. As well as his trademark humour, the show tackles the subjects of life, death, loneliness, loss, human frailty and other classic conversation stoppers. 

The show will air on Sunday 2 April - World Autism Awareness Day. 

Normal is a multi-award winning writer, producer and poet. Co-writer of award winning TV programmes such as The Royle Family, The Mrs Merton Show, Coogan's Run and Paul Calf, and producer of, amongst many others, Oscar-nominated Philomena, Gavin and Stacey and Alan Partridge. Before working behind the scenes he was well-known on the comedy circuit as a poet and comedian.

He has published several volumes of poetry, including The Dream Ticket, Nude Modelling for the Afterlife and Staring Directly at the Eclipse. His last Radio 4 series was 1997's Encyclopaedia Poetica. 

The show is being recorded on 20 March at the BBC Radio Theatre in London.
