What the reviewers said
We have captured 2 published reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Pierre Novellie comes out and immediately mocks himself for having done stand-up for the last ten years as a virtual unknown and now doing a “best of” show.
Quite simply, Pierre Novellie’s Do The One About… stands as a significant reminder of how funny stand-up comedy can be.
