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鈥檝e 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 -
鈥淚鈥檓 delighted to be given the chance to perform my own comedy on the 麻豆社, the original source of my obsession with comedy as a child. It鈥檚 a chance to bring my stand up to a hypothetically grateful nation.鈥�
Written and performed by Pierre Novellie and produced & directed by David Tyler (鈥淐abin Pressure鈥�, 鈥淥ne Person Found This Helpful鈥�, 鈥淎rmando Iannucci鈥檚 Charm Offensive鈥� etc)
