Other comedians say that he has a single page of notes that he never gets through.

Generally speaking I've seen a few of his shows and basically there is one underlying story that is told in bits and pieces hidden amongst the insanity and then in the last 5 minutes he finishes it haha

Well said.

That's right... we came for the comedy. Any sign of it?

@@bernardfitzsimons9774 I like it. Each to his own.

"So many" I can see 2, Karen.

Ross has said many times, between tours he sits at home watching dvds/tv, eating crisps and getting fat.....then during his punishing and long tours, he loses the extra weight again

good reference haha

@@alexcoroian3983 oh, thankyou 🤭

If there are others around, that means they are funny… obviously

he's the best. I was lucky enough to see him live a few months ago at the Melbourne comedy festival. it was a wonderful night.

I've watched his shows a few times over the years and have to say his shows are always so good. One time he interacted with me and it was such a joy.

@@jmmypaddy one of my friends in Newcastle went to see his show 3 times in a week or so. He said it was completely different every time because of the way Ross interacts with the audience.

Better than the past

In like a tin foil suit with a very white face ? Maybe a red jewel in the middle of his forehead ?

God of comedy

He's the best there is at improv.

@@lilme7052 truth!!

Actually it's Quagmire he looks like. Once you see it you can't not unsee it. Though he's a bit chubby here.

@@lilme7052 it's called ageing

Love Ross Noble. But thars the way of flesh sacks. You will understand in time. Take life by the horns and skull fuck it while your young. 😂😅💜

@@amilynmain2528 not necessarily.

No just how i downloaded it, guess the person who ripped it mate it that way

Yea wtf i cant understand?!

Ross is Northumberland ( a few miles north or Newcastle) and funnily enough Billy Elliott is set in a village called Easington ( about 2 miles from where I live ) and the accents are so wrong the would have a more sunderland accent and not geordie at all

For geordie look at videos of auf wiedersehen pet. There are some good geordie accents in that

@@shaWnCross666 (Thank you, and sorry for the long response!) It's amazing how much difference a short distance can make in regional accents in Britain! I looked at a little bit of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (thanks for the tip!), and I'll probably be watching at least one series soon, maybe binge-watching all of it when I'm done with QI. That looks like a good way to learn Geordie-speech, and it's a comic drama I haven't heard of before. (I've worked in theater off-and-on for many years, and I always love it when the dialect coaches come around and work with the cast. I do the music, not acting, but I'm fascinated by it.) The accent I hear in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet sounds more to me like the one they used in Billy Elliot the Musical. (The original 2000 film is a little more random, to my ear.) I looked on the map and found Easington and Sunderland, and to me they look so close to Newcastle it's surprising they have different regional accents. I'm from Minnesota, and you have to go to rural Iowa to find a seriously different regional accent, maybe 150 miles from where I live, and that accent is similar to Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas. Wisconsin and the Dakotas have their peculiarities, but we can all pass as being from either of those 4 states (including Minnesota). Between Boston and Philadelphia there are tons of micro-dialects, with New York City having distinct accents for some individual neighborhoods & boroughs, but isn't London like that? And we also have what I think is unique - African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) - a dialect found across the country, with regional flavors, but very consistent across such a widespread and diverse population. I think one choice they made in Billy Elliot was that the story was not set in Easington originally, but in a made-up coal town near Newcastle called Everington where they speak Geordie. In the film, Easington became their filming location, but they maintained the fiction that it was elsewhere. In the stage play (which I really love) they just set it in Easington and I guess they kept the Geordie speech because it fit the story.

@@beenaplumber8379 interestingly I have a great friend who moved from minnesota to sunderland at 13 (were 36 now) his accent is all kinds of messed up. The regional accents in the UK are so varied in some city's even down to different zip codes have different nuances and colloquialisms. I'm a theatre enthusiast myself ( amateur) and I also love language

​@@shaWnCross666 Tell your friend that Sven and Ole's is having a special on uff-da hotdish and ludefisk with free pop. That's only on Polka-till-you-Puke Fridays through Labor Day. (That's the most Minnesota thing I could think to say. It might get a smile.)

He has to control himself on tv . This is the real Ross.

I definitely would think it. There's a reason why Ross is the only person I've ever come across that can do it to this level in front of an audience.

@@caganozturk1 yeh theres definitely a certain instinct required for this style of performance.the timing,the structure n speech patterns and his voice n accent of course all help.random/surrealist comedy is much harder than it looks.glad I'm not the only one who notices that

@@cato7778 it would be hard for us let's say, unless I'm off my face then I can shit for days ha, but that's just with mates ha, I imagine to Ross noble it's as easy as breathing oxygen, just a natural gift, and he doesn't have to spend time working on scripts so it's a double bonus

@@caganozturk1 yup yup.i used to have all his dvds up untill 2010 or something.such great value for money.u wud get maybe several shows from the exact same tour in the dvd n every show wud be very different.plus the dvd commentary wud count as separate show too.i dunno how he does it 😋

I think he's alright, currently performing in Australia. I think hes just put on a few pounds.

I saw him in Adelaide about a month ago he looks well

@@rosscoghlan Exactly. He's been through so much since the beginning of his career-- always sleepwalking and nightmares BEFORE nearly losing his family in the bushfire and ACTUALLY losing everything they owned except the clothes on their backs, plus friends and neighbors who died, all way before the pandemic. I think he's got more right than a lot of us to put on a little stress weight. His color is good and his energy is high (I've seen him push through shows while actively ill). I think he looks better here than when he was thin and exhausted. Hope he's around for many years to come.

@@catstreat9434 Well said.

I love Ross. We get older. Just happens when the clock goes tick tick. He was on jjj. Now we're older. It's just life.

Whenever someone calls me bald, I tell them my axis’ have been inverted. They generally look confused after that.

is that what it is??

What's nerdy about dead mermaids having their tits nibbled by crab's exactly. Go back to your episode of friends and leave the real comedy to people with humour ;)

Ross isn't every comedian.
