Pierre Novellie (Part One)

This week, Emily and Ray are taking a stroll with our very good pal - the brilliant and hilarious comedian Pierre Novellie. Pierre’s had previous on this podcast - but we thought we were well due a catch up, because a lot has happened in his life since we last spoke on the podcast…As well as being one of the funniest people we know - Pierre is also one of the most intelligent people we know - and taking a walk with him is an endlessly fascinating thing to do. We discussed what his childhood was like and the challenges he faced socially - and how he reflects on that now he has an autism diagnosis. We also chatted about our reactions to unwanted noises, Pierre’s fascination with the military and why he is driven by curiosity and likes to surround himself with people who are the same. Follow @pierrenovellie on InstagramPierre is performing his new stand-up show You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here at the Edinburgh Fringe from 28th July - 24th August at 19:05 at Monkey Barrel 3.
