Ross Noble

"The supreme master of spontaneous stand-up and the most exciting comic in the country." Time Out, London

Geordie Ross has been performing stand-up since he was smuggled into his local comedy club at the age of 15. Licensing laws meant that immediately after his slot he had to leave through the kitchen - but he has never looked back.

When he came to London at 16, he immediately worked his way onto club bills and was a frequent host (as were Ed Byrne, Daniel Kitson and Stephen K Amos) at Comedy at Sohoho, from which AmusedMooseComedy developed and initially ran lengthy summer Fringe preview seasons.

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 and a Time Out award winner for best live stand-up and has won a shed load of other prestigious awards and nominations.

Throughout his career Ross has concentrated on playing live, relentlessly touring his own shows and as a result has built an army of fans throughout the world. His appearances regularly break box office records, and Noble has been the official 'best selling show' at both the Edinburgh and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, on more than one occasion.

Ross has also been seen as guest on a variety of TV shows including (in Australia) Channel Ten's 'Rove' and 'The Panel', ABC's 'The Glasshouse', and (in the UK) on BBC's 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross' and 'Jack Dee Live At The Apollo.' He has also made three appearances on BBC 1's 'Have I Got News For You' and makes regular contributions to BBC Radio 4's 'Just a Minute' and has appeared on 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.'

Ross' worldwide travels as a stand-up have been the subject of his own BBC Radio 4 series 'Ross Noble Goes Global'.
