Pierre Novellie
Must We?
Australian Premiere
In March 2025, off the back of a sold-out Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Pierre Novellie will board a plane to Melbourne to perform a stand-up show about life, fairness and expectations. He simply must!
This award-winning comedian debuts his masterful blend of intelligent observation and rich storytelling on Australian shores, armed with the sharp wit that's made him one of the UK's most compelling comic voices.
As co-host of the hugely popular 'BudPod' with Phil Wang (4 million downloads and counting), Pierre has established himself as a comedian's comedian who doesn't sacrifice accessibility for intelligence. His book Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things? A Comedian's Guide to Autism was inspired by an unexpected diagnosis from a heckler – a story that perfectly captures his ability to find humour in life's more peculiar moments. This show delivers the same incisive commentary and clever observations that have earned him critical acclaim across the UK comedy scene.
