Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH
FRINGEWASH #2: With Pierre Novellie
•
It's the second of our summer specials where we talk TV with the most dazzling comedians at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
Today, it's Pierre Novellie. This guy has standup as good as Seinfeld, and he has just published a truly, genuinely we-mean-it brilliant book about receiving an autism diagnosis at the age of thirty-one.
Plus America's sweethearts, the DCC - if you know, you know - and if you don't, you soon will. Also: Sara exhibits her most British behaviour to date.
See Sara's show, 'Anything For You' at the Edinburgh Fringe: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/sara-barron-anything-for-you
Then see Pierre's show, 'Must We?': https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/pierre-novellie-must-we
And once you've done all that, read Pierre's book: https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Pierre-Novellie/Why-Cant-I-Just-Enjoy-Things--A-Comedians-Guide-to-Autism/29646545

THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S1 E10: Nobody Is Ever Missing
56:32|We sat down with Jesse at a house, in a cow shed with a corrugated iron roof to talk about the season one finale. Who wants to hear about it? Yeah? Well, you're out of luck, 'cause nothing happened, we just knitted and made salads, did some yoga. And no one will tell you different, because we killed the stripper.Can he scuba? Will he buckle under the intellectual scrutiny? Could this be the defining moment of his life? Or it could be what is should be: Nothing at all.BT-Dubz: That's it from Jarmstrong until January, as we're taking a short break. We're not sorry for what we're doing, which is correct, but we're sorry for how it makes you feel. And we're sorry it had to be today.We're doing a live show!
