Ross Noble: A BBC Radio Comedy Collection

The ultimate BBC comedy collection featuring Ross Noble, randomist extraordinaire

Ross Noble is one of the UK’s best-loved comedians. Famous for his surreal delivery he delights audiences with his improvisations and hilarious musing on life - all delivered in whimsical fashion with a brilliant stream of consciousness twist. Hear how the Geordie comedian explores the British Isles and beyond…

In Ross Noble Goes Global, Ross takes listeners around the world on a fantastically funny tour from Warsaw to Shanghai and Singapore to South Africa. He travels to nine different spots and delivers half cultural observations and half hilarious stand-up routines. He meets incredibly posh monkeys, has a very bad hair day and learns to play the penny whistle in Dublin – terribly. He tries to prove Belgium is not dull, thanks to the legacy of Jean-Claude Van Damme, discovers wildlife shows, graffiti and bewilders some Bedouins in the desert.

Britain in Bits with Ross Noble is a spoof radio magazine sketch show, delving deep in to the weird and wonderful mind of Ross Noble. Each episode sees him joined by a celebrity guest to talk about a fictional project that they are involved in: Fern Britton discusses her penchant for fighting animals, Kirsty Wark shares about her upcoming book “Wark This Way: My Time with the Aerosmith Dudes” and Lesley Joseph presents her one woman show “Lesley and her Amazing Technicolor Life on Ice!”. Ross Noble’s ad-libbed replies create a brilliantly off-kilter conversation that soon goes off in all sorts of directions. Interspersed with location reports from around Britain, this series truly takes you on a journey.

This is a perfect opportunity to spend some time in the wacky, whimsical, fantastically funny world of Ross Noble that will keep you laughing for hours. If you like Sarah Millican, Isy Suttie and Lee Mack then you will love this BBC comedy collection from Ross Noble.
