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) A Pozzitive production for the BBC www.pozzitive.co.uk
