This week the boays are joined by comedian Pierre Novellie. Hailing from South Africa via the Isle of Man, Pierre describes how audiences react to his difficult-to-place accent, recounts his experiences of doing numerous Fringe hours (including one year when he provided the audience with pamplets to fact-check his jokes), and discusses how the skills he's honed in comedy have helped him write a book on autism following his recent diagnosis. Plus, Pierre details the main misconceptions people have about autism, explains how it's been to open for the legendary Frank Skinner on tour - and there's chat about comedian's setlists, Cambridge Footlights, playing to international audiences and Pierre's love for Limmy.
