ROSS NOBLE
Although still in his twenties, Geordie Ross has been performing stand-up since he was smuggled in to 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.
Since then 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.

ROSS NOBLE - quotes
"The supreme master of spontaneous stand-up and the most exciting comic in the country." Time Out, London (Critics Choice)
"Undoubtedly one of the finest comedians to break through during the last decade." Evening Standard
"All good comics are adept at weaving the odd heckler or late-comer into a stream of material. But I have never before seen anyone create an entire first half - about 50 minutes - from rapport with a couple of customers in the front stalls." Daily Mail
"Britain's best new funnyman." Big Issue
"Ross Noble will take you by surprise into funny places you never knew existed." Scotland on Sunday
"A natural comic with an instinctive gift for a vivid image. For once it is not hype to use the words 'comic genius'." Evening Standard
"Refreshing, original, and bloody funny." The Age, Melbourne
"Ross Noble proves himself to be an inspiration in free-form comedy." Evening Standard
Ross chooses to rarely be seen on TV. Recent appearances include (in Australia) Channel Ten's 'Rove' and 'The Panel', ABC's 'The Glasshouse', and (in the UK) on BBC's 'Johnny Vaughan Tonight', and 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross'.
Ross has also recently 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'.
