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 rewatch with our dear acquaintance Jesse Armstrong continues with season 1, episode 2, Shit Show at the Fuck Factory. Dear Jesse, talk me through your feelings on titles? Am I thinking about it too much? Like the people who thought all the orange in S3E8 was a signal that Kendall was dead? How much analysis is TOO much analysis? I JUST WANT YOU TO LIKE ME. And what about Lawrence's omelette nipples? If you need us to go get sandwiches or coffee OR step up from regional parks and run North America, we can and we will, and that's just an offer on the table.
