Review: Ross Noble at Newcastle City Hall
Who else could make remarks about his backdrop being similar to the Ebola virus and still garner laughs all round?
Gordon Barr, Newcastle Chronicle, 26th November 2014Review: Ross Noble
Ross Noble is a brilliantly original comedian but the man who got the biggest laugh at the Sands Centre tonight was a Cumbrian businessman who had managed to turn up to the gig a year early.

Andrew Dipper, Giggle Beats, 22nd November 2014Ross Noble interview
Most of us have experienced a nightmare where we're on stage, in front of a huge audience, with no script, no cues, and absolutely no clue what we're going to say next. What is an unwelcome nocturnal stress for most people is a daily fact of life for Ross Noble. When Noble takes to the stage, he has no more of an idea what he's going to say than the bloke in row Q. As he tells us, he just wings it.

Ryan Love, Digital Spy, 4th November 2014Review: Ross Noble at The Music Hall
Was the culmination of the show a fiendishly clever binding together of all the random topics covered over the course of the night? Or was it simply a man on a stage making grunting noises and gesturing for an extended period of time occasionally interspersed with words mentioned earlier in the show?

Andrew Dipper, Giggle Beats, 12th October 2014It's easy being an agent? You're having a laugh
Funny guys: Dealing with comedians like Ross Noble, Mark Thomas and Dylan Moran is all in a day's work for Shaun Almey, a Lincoln-based independent booking agent for comedy shows.
Shaun Almey, Linconshire Echo, 11th October 2014Review: Ross Noble
He builds this world for you and he laughs along with you - he is no more familiar with it than the audience, and his is the most ingenious kind of nonsense.
Nick Charity, Nottingham Post, 9th October 2014Radio Times review
It's certainly a big night for comedy panel shows with Have I Got News for You joining Would I Lie to You? on BBC1 and, testing our knowledge of the baffling and the obscure, the wonderful QI on BBC Two.
We're on to the letter L - although that hardly matters - and it takes less than five minutes for it to get lewd despite the headmasterly efforts of Stephen Fry. He asks an innocent question about the sound a lonely whale makes and the ensuing banter suddenly spirals off into filth. Hilarious filth, mind you. Fry, whose obsession with gadgetry matches his love of language, also gets to demonstrate how a fish can drive a tank.
Joining QI regulars Ross Noble and Sarah Millican is the quick-witted Australian comic Colin Lane, but even he is no match for Alan Davies who, for once, isn't there simply to play the fool. "What has 32 brains and sucks," the panel is asked. "The front row" is his speedy response.
