Ross Noble is a surreal comedy innovator, improviser, and performer who transformed early curiosity into a wild career on stages around the world.
In this fun and revealing chat with Jimmy & Nath, Ross takes us back to where it all began: as a teenager, he taught himself to juggle and ride unicycles, busked in Newcastle, and discovered stand-up for the first time after winning tickets to a comedy show at 15… a moment that lit the fire.
From border-crossing shows in the UK and Australia to appearing on major panel shows like Have I Got News For You, to earning critical acclaim (including a nomination from the Olivier Awards for his role in Young Frankenstein), Ross shares what it really takes to make it in comedy without ever losing your weird.
They dive into how comedy doesn’t always follow a script – how nights off could become tangents, how the audience can steer the show, and why some of his most memorable moments were totally unplanned.
