Beloved cult comedian Ross Noble has cemented himself as one of the pivotal performers to watch this Adelaide Fringe festival season. Wasting no time in offering his audiences with an authentic and fast-paced experience, Noble is able to encapsulate everyone with his creative flair of delivering a rather colourful, off-the-cuff tangential journey of content that is sure to leave the room in stitches.

The range of topics that are hilariously covered by Noble throughout the show jump in every direction (often times crossing over several topics before circling back to his original punchline) and he is able to masterfully appeal to the audiences' hysterics with his razor sharp wit. Even when audiences present with some unruliness, Noble is able to cleverly stick to his classic troupe by quickly addressing the ramble and moving forward, much to the bewildered amusement of everyone else. There are several moments that make you wonder how gifted Noble must be, to be working light years ahead of the typical human brain with his zinger comebacks and his infectious energy.

No two shows by the laughter-inducing riot will be the same - each show will be a truly unique experience, given the improvised tangents and sharp left turns that are taken throughout the show. Feeding his show with the energy bouncing off from his audience members, the show's material is influenced by twists and turns in its narrative, but Noble is unfailingly able to steer the entertainment in a natural and seamless fashion that beautifully flows back into the rhythm of the show - just like it was candidly planned! Noble's show is wildly unscripted, which will heavily contribute towards the sheer substance and character of every show. Expect to see some COVID-safe audience participation to take place, with Noble vibing brilliantly off the reactions that he gets from his vict....volunteers.
