Multiple Chortle Award nominee and star of The Mash Report, Pierre Novellie brings an American-style hour of high-quality stand up comedy to the Fringe. A sincere attempt to recreate the best of what the medium has to offer: catharsis, exploring taboos, the admission of sins and, most importantly, laughter.
If you think you hate observational comedy, Pierre Novellie does the kind of obser-
vational comedy that you’ll love, with a reasonable level of whimsy and light anec-
dote.
Pierre Novellie is one of the best up-and-coming comedians in the United Kingdom. In his debut year, Pierre was nominated for the Amused Moose Comedy
Award and Best Debutant for The Skinny Awards in 2013, the year in which he
won the Amused Moose Laugh-Off. In 2014 he was nominated for industry web-

Baby (among others) all giving it 4 stars, in 2016 Pierre Novellie is Cool Peter
also received a number of 4 star reviews including from The Times and 5 stars
