Pierre Novellie in Conversation with Erin McGathy

Comedian Pierre Novellie was on stage when a heckler suggested he was autistic. Usually, this disruption would be water off a duck’s back but two things made this heckler different: first, he was himself autistic. Second, he turned out to be absolutely right. This random encounter led to a diagnosis of autism at the age of 31 that unravelled his world, explained his struggles and answered questions that had bothered him for his entire life. He will be in conversation with writer and performer Erin McGathy, to discuss his book Why Can’t I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian’s Guide to Autism, his late diagnosis and his writing process.
