3. Why Am I British?
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 what makes us British, Pierre examines key topics such as the bowler hat, the Taliban, what Switzerland gets wrong about sex and the right way to decorate a pavement on a Saturday night.
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)
