Known for his brilliant freeform improvisation and highly engaging live shows, Ross Noble has received huge critical acclaim, been nominated for a Perrier Award and was voted one of the greatest standups of all time by British TV viewers. Ross Noble is now perhaps the most successful cult comedian of our time, with a loyal fanbase derived largely from the ‘word-of-mouth’ recommendations of those having seen him perform live.
Geordie standup Ross has been performing since he was smuggled into his local comedy club at the age of fifteen. Licensing laws meant that immediately after his slot he had to leave through the kitchen but he has never looked back. In the subsequent years, Ross has become known as a truly exciting and genuinely original performer and has received huge critical acclaim. He is a former Perrier Award nominee, Barry Award and Time Out award winner for best live standup, and has won a shed load of other prestigious awards and nominations.
His most recent tour of the UK in ‘Fizzy Logic’ saw Noble pick up more nominations for best live standup show, this time at both the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards and the British Comedy Awards. Ross completed a mammoth ninety five date tour of Australia and New Zealand (in Fizzy Logic) where he played seasons in all major cities, and many onenighters, travelling the length and breadth of Australia by motorcycle (estimated at 28,000km+) with his stage and film crew following on 4 wheels and capturing the event for TV and DVD release.
Ross chooses to be rarely seen on TV and rejects most offers, essentially because he is always touring. Exceptions over the past years include Australian TV shows ‘Thank God You’re Here’, ‘Rove Live’, ‘The Panel’, ‘Spicks & Specks’ and ‘Good News Week’ in the UK he has appeared on ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross’, ‘Room 101’, and ‘Jack Dee Live at the Apollo’. Ross featured in Channel 4 Television’s ‘World’s 100 Greatest StandUps’ with the audience vote placing Ross 10th.
Ross has also made several guest appearances on BBC Ones ‘Have I got News for You’ and makes regular contributions to BBC Radio Four’s ‘Just a Minute’ and ‘Sorry I haven’t a Clue’. In Australia he regularly guests on ABC Radio and National Youth Network Triple J.
Ross’ worldwide travels as a standup have been the subject of his own BBC radio 4 series ‘Ross Noble Goes Global’. The entire first and second series of this program can be heard via his website at www.rossnoble.co.uk and both are now available on BBC audio books double CD’s. Ross embarked on arena tour of Australia playing ‘In the Round’ at capital cities, the tour was a great success.
