Are you prepared for what this year’s Edinburgh Fringe has in store for you?

What do you know that I don’t? I think you can only tell in hindsight, really! I’ve girded my loins in the usual fashion: Berocca and an optimistic gym membership.

What is the premise of your Edinburgh show this year?

It’s satire for people without a team. I don’t have a team and I don’t think I want one.

What was the biggest obstacle you face(d) while putting this show together?

Well, if you don’t have a team and you don’t try to appeal to a particular team, you will be designing a show that deliberately does not please some people, which is hard to parse as an entertainer.

Who would most enjoy your show?

Probably a third-culture kid who has watched too much Netflix.

Do you have any other Edinburgh show recommendations?

Ed Night, Fern Brady, Glenn Moore, Sarah Keyworth, Garrett Millerick,, Catherine Bohart.

What is your favourite thing about Edinburgh as a city?

The architecture for sure – plus how it feels like a big city but retains an intimacy to it as well.

What are your plans for after the festival?

No humour for one month – just living like a robot.

The Edinburgh Interviews 2017: Pierre Novellie

July 16, 2017 by Becca Moody Leave a Comment
South African stand up Pierre Novellie claims to provide observational comedy for audiences that think they hate observational comedy. Nominated for the Best Club Comedian award by Chortle in both 2016 and 2017, Novellie is clearly a competent performer with something extra about him. Pierre will be performing at the Pleasance Courtyard throughout August.

1) What excites you most about the Edinburgh Festival?

It’s sort of the Olympics of comedy – a month of solid gigs and seeing comedy friends from around the world.

2) What was your first Edinburgh show about?

It was a “best of” show of my first four years of stand up and writing.

3) Does your comedy attract a certain type of audience?

Nerds and other people with weird food issues.

4) What is the worst experience you’ve had with Edinburgh accommodation?

I think sleeping on a tiny sofa in a kitchenette full of mice up seven flights of stairs is up there.

5) What is your most treasured memory of your comedy career so far?

Meeting and eventually working with Adam Buxton!

6) What show will you definitely be seeing at the festival this year?

Evelyn Mok’s debut show looks great from the bits I’ve seen

7) What do you hope to gain from the Edinburgh Festival this year?

More fans, more work!

8) What do you imagine your last ever show will be about?

My impending mission to colonise the sun.
