Pierre Novellie is a stand-up comedian, writer, radio host and podcaster. He is co-host of The Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio. His recent TV appearances include World’s Most Dangerous Roads (Dave), The Mash Report (BBC2) and Stand Up Central (Comedy Central).

As a writer, Pierre was one of the regular writers on the rebooted Spitting Image (ITV/Britbox). He has also written on shows including Mock the Week (BBC2) and The News Quiz (Radio 4). His latest show is of the UK’s most acclaimed live acts and was his third show to be placed in the top 20 best-reviewed comedy shows across the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Toussaint Douglas is one of comedy’s most exciting and talked about new names. He is already making serious waves across the industry. His innovative brand of stand up mixes the personal with the political, whilst adding a uniquely absurdist slant to brilliant comic effect.

His extensive list of credits include Late Night Mash (Dave), Outsiders (Dave), Hypothetical (Dave), Comedians Giving lectures (Dave), Unforgivable (Dave), Alan Davies, As Yet Untitled (Dave), The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4) and more.

This multi-talented award-winning comedian and writer harnesses his neurodivergence and oddball comedy, making it accessible for all.
