Do Psychopaths rule the world? How do we define normal? Are you friends with a psychopath? Are you worried YOU might be one?

Fifteen years have passed since he embarked on the adventure that became his ground-breaking and best-selling work, The Psychopath Test, and now journalist, filmmaker, and author Jon Ronson reopens the case with exclusive anecdotes and fresh reflections, taking you on a thrilling exploration of madness and the elusive psychopathic mind.

Join Jon for a journey into the enigmatic world of psychopaths and the perplexing concept of normalcy. In an age where society's rationality is called into question, Jon will deliver an evening of incisive inquiry, seasoned with his trademark wit and profound insights.

Featuring mystery special guests, central to the story but not found in the original edition of the book, their extraordinary tales are brimming with twists and turns. The less you know about them, the better. Each event is an unforgettable night of revelation and intrigue.

Jon Ronson's nonfiction books include So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, The Psychopath Test, Them: Adventures with Extremists, Lost at Sea and The Men Who Stare At Goats. They have all been international and/or New York Times bestsellers.

The Psychopath Test spent more than a year on the UK bestseller list. Jon’s live show based on the book – Psychopath Night – has sold out theatres and concert halls across the UK and Ireland.

His books have been translated into more than 30 languages, and his two TED talks have been watched more than 30 million times. One of them – Strange Answers to The Psychopath Test – is among the 25 most watched TED talks of all time.

Most recently, Jon created the acclaimed BBC podcast Things Fell Apart (2021- 2024) – which won the Broadcasting Press Guild Award for podcast of the year and was named by the Observer as the number one audio show of 2021. In 2017 and 2019 Jon produced two Audible Original audio series, The Butterfly Effect and The Last Days of August. Both were named by multiple critics as two of the best podcasts of recent years and topped the US audiobook charts.

So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed is frequently cited as having kickstarted the conversation about the perils of social media shaming. The book is taught by hundreds of educators across America. It also inspired an episode of Black Mirror, Hated in the Nation.

The Men Who Stare at Goats was adapted into a film starring George Clooney, Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor.

Jon’s original screenplays include the acclaimed Netflix original Okja (Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal) which he co-wrote with Bong-Joon Ho, and Frank (Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhaal) which he co-wrote with Peter Straughan. Okja was selected to compete for the Palm D’Or at the 2017 Cannes film festival. For Frank, Jon and Peter won the 2014 best screenplay award at the British Independent Film Awards. Jon also wrote the short e-book Frank: The True Story That Inspired the Movie.

In the UK Jon has written regularly for The Guardian. His many UK documentaries include Stanley Kubrick's Boxes, The Secret Rulers of the World, and seven seasons of the multi-award winning BBC Radio 4 programme Jon Ronson On…
