Ross Noble heads for Newcastle and Scarborough
KING of improvisational comedy Ross Noble has extended his 15th UK tour and, after his traditional four-night visit to Newcastle City Hall, has added a March date in Scarborough.
The Geordie funnyman and master of surreal tangents is now well into his stride having kicked off his Brain Dump show at York's Barbican in September. One of Noble's claims to fame is motorbiking around the country at the mercy of Twitter suggestions for his critically acclaimed travelogue series, Ross Noble: Freewheeling, which reached 3.7million people across the two series on Dave.
As always Noble has lots of stuff backing up in his head and it’s time to let it all out. He continues to be the king of super quick freewheeling thought and highly imaginative flights of fancy. As a favourite randomist, Noble’s on-stage exuberance and cerebral style are worth the price of a ticket alone.
Starting out in comedy 25 years ago at the age of 15, Noble has undertaken 14 sell-out tours, nine top-selling stand-up DVD releases, and been ranked 10th in Channel 4’s poll of the 100 Greatest Stand-Ups.
As well as performing on stage, he is a regular on panel shows such as QI (BBC One) and Have I Got News for You (BBC One) and has also appeared on The Graham Norton Show (BBC One), Room 101 (BBC One) and Just a Minute (BBC Radio 4).
* Noble's Newcastle City Hall dates run Wednesday, December 14 to Saturday, December 17. Ring 0191-277-8030 to see if there's any chance of a ticket. On Friday, March 17, Noble plays Scarborough Grand Hall. 01723-821-888
