Born
Saturday 5th June 1976 (48 years-old)
AKA
Ross Markham Noble
Nationality
English

Born in Newcastle upon Tyne and brought up in Cramlington, Northumberland, Ross Noble has been performing stand-up since the age of 15 when he was smuggled into his local comedy club, since when he has received huge critical acclaim.

He is a former Time Out Award winner for 'Best Live Stand-Up', Barry Award winner (Australia) and Perrier Award nominee.

Noble built up a large and loyal following through constant touring and word of mouth and soon became the bestselling show at the Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy festivals.

He has performed 15 solo tours round the world, including four West End runs: Laser Boy, Chickenmaster, Slackers' Playtime, Sonic Waffle, Unrealtime, Noodlemeister, Randomist, Fizzy Logic, Nobleism, Headspace Cowboy, Things, Nonsensory Overload, Mindblender, Tangentleman and Brain Dump.

Noble's stand-up tours provided the basis for the television series Ross Noble's Australian Trip (Channel 5 UK/Network 10 Australia) and two series of Ross Noble Goes Global and Ross Noble On..., which were broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

Two series of Noble's Twitter-powered comedy series Freewheeling were broadcast on Dave, which saw Noble create the show based entirely on tweets from his followers. Also on Dave, Ross Noble: Off Road sees a camera crew following his progress in legendary motorcycle challenge, the Scottish Six Days Trial.

His acting work includes: Igor in Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein (West End production, 2017); Frank Liebkind in Mel Brooks's The Producers (UK tour, 2014); The Comic Strip Presenters: The Hunt For Tony Blair (Channel 4); It's A Date (ABC Australia); the undead killer clown in cult horror comedy Stitches; Trevor in horror movie Nails (Fantastic Films) and Bruce Campbell in The Catchment for Sky Arts' Halloween Comedy Shorts 2016 series, which he also wrote and directed.
