Ross Noble possesses
the energy of an hyperactive 11-year-old, an outrageously heightened
imagination and an inimitable English accent. Above all, he has an
unrivalled ability to weave more than a dozen ideas into one joke,
and condense a multitude of tangential thoughts and to produce
consecutive moments of laughter.It is no wonder that
Noble (who was, paradoxically, raised in a suburb called Cramlington)
has been placed into top 10 comedian acclaim in the United Kingdom,
and has a strong following at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy
Festival.
Dressed
in bright blue shoes, black pants and a black shirt with blue patterned
cuffs that match the stage set for the show: an elaborate,
lightning-like caricature of his trade mark hair, Noble delivers 150
minutes of fast-paced, scattered and spontaneous humour accompanied by
entertaining facial expressions and sound effects.
Noble is known for receiving gifts from audience members during his shows.On
opening night, the use of exclamation marks and express ‘P.S’ requests
for an encore and to be poked fun at, were quickly transformed into
a hilarious series of running jokes throughout Act 2.Endearingly,
Noble is self aware of his unique comic style: chuckling at a few of
his particularly outlandish jokes, poking fun at his tendency to be
easily distracted, and warning his audience to remain focused to avoid
becoming lost in the Nobleism.
Traversing subjects such
as ninjas, Japanese calligraphy, national anthems, faith healers, the
story of the three little pigs, wolf whistles, Harry Potter, and
hippogimps and linking them cleverly (and sometimes wackily) to social
commentary on political correctness, racism and the recent behaviour of
Wayne Carey, Noble confirms he is a stand out, stand up comedian. This
show is destined to make you laugh, if you can handle the pace!
