Pierre Novellie, comedian.

My guest today is a stand-up comedian, writer, radio host and podcaster. Born in South Africa, his family then moved to the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea. He studied Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic languages at Cambridge University, where he became vice-president of the Footlights comedy society. In 2014 The Guardian newspaper described his debut show at the Edinburgh Festival as marking the “dawn of a major talent”. Since then, my guest has delighted audiences with his wry and quick-witted observational comedy, both on stage, on the radio as co-host of The Frank Skinner Show, and on television with appearances on The Mash Report and World’s Most Dangerous Roads. He also co-hosts the smash hit podcast BudPod with his long-time friend, collaborator, and friend of the show, Phil Wang.
