Ross Noble: Braindump

Some comics write a show for months before stepping on stage. Not Ross Noble. He had fewer prepared jokes than you can count on one hand, instead utilising his skill of talking (which he does not stop), along with his sharp skill for observational improvisation.

There are times when his talking takes on an almost hypnotic feel — "Is he still talking about that?" Running jokes are also a theme for Noble, which sometimes lead into his few planned jokes, but ultimately it's the off-the-cuff absurd comments that hit gold.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of talking and not nearly enough gold tonight in his solid two-hour set.

Oh, and don't turn up late to a comedy show. Ever.
