2. Why Have We Stopped Reading?
Pleasingly tall comedian Pierre Novellie uses his unique style of erudite bafflement to focus on the deep and the shallow in a comedic answer to In Our Time.
In this episode, all about why we’ve stopped reading, Pierre examines the sex-lives of elves, the evils of chess, the economics of pebbles and why the French are always cross.
As Pierre says -
“I’m delighted to be given the chance to perform my own comedy on the BBC, the original source of my obsession with comedy as a child. It’s a chance to bring my stand up to a hypothetically grateful nation.”
Written and performed by Pierre Novellie and produced & directed by David Tyler (“Cabin Pressure”, “One Person Found This Helpful”, “Armando Iannucci’s Charm Offensive” etc)
