Ross Noble - Complete GENIUS, 31 Dec 2007
Ross Noble is the best comedian I have ever encountered. Got this DVD for Christmas, after not really having heard of Noble before. I was suprised at quite how fantastic it is!
I watch alot of stand-up comedy. I love loads of stuff from Lee Mack, Dara O Brien and Sean Lock to Jasper Carrott, Peter Cook and Live Monty Python, but nothing compares to Noble.
The main feature is over 2 hours long, and although it can get tiring to watch constantly, if you take a break at the end of the first half, you will enjoy the rest far more.
This DVD set is packed full of another 4 hours of brilliant comedy, and this adds to the experience of the main show much more.
Noble is a very 'on-the-spot' comedian, he spends most of the show talking to the audience and joking with them. He can't stay on the one story or anecdote for long before he goes back to talking about something they mentioned earlier. However this is all part of it, and never gets tedious or boring.
The main show in this set features a huge section about a man with a beard, and a toy wolf. This never gets boring, as Noble remains so energetic throughout.
It is very long for a stand up show, but it never feels too long, and I never wanted it to end.
If you want hours of comedy to cheer you up, a likeable comedian, and a great audience, this is ideal.
I will watch this over and over again, and never tire of the brilliance of Ross Noble.
If you buy this, I guarantee you wont be dissapointed. He is GENIUS.

the best live comedian of our time, 4 Nov 2007
for me, Ross Noble's format is totally flawed. i say this, mostly out of jealously than anything else. jealousy that there are people who have seen live shows that he has done that noone else will ever see. that is the nature of a comedian who can perform a whole tour and never repeat himself.
this is a man who can keep a room full of thousands of people all demanding comedy after paying good money with no material pre-prepared. an impossible task. not for ross noble. the format, though, annoyingly means it is never the same twice. should i win the lottery tommorow i would gladly go out and buy a front row ticket to every single show on a ross noble tour.
with aomeone like ricky gervais, you know you will get a solid written "script" of stand up comedy, excellent nontheless, but well rehersed. noble, however, is simply one of the funniest men alive. he can talk about any subject in such a way to bring out the comedy in it, his observations are top draw and his mind wonders in so many different and intreguing directions.
ross tries to make up for the fact his shows are never the same by adding as much footage as he can, the last release, randomist, set over 3 discs.
ross noble is a comedian to see live. his focus is much on the audience and it is much better if you are part of that audience, however it does mean you can go and see the live show AND buy the dvd without feeling shortchanged.
in terms of this dvd, again a great live show and great depth in excess footage, but i stress go and see him live! then buy all his dvds. a fantastic talent and a truly great comedian

Another fantastic DVD from Ross Noble, 11 Aug 2008
Ross Noble is probably the funniest comedian of the decade. This DVD is yet another hilarious trip through Ross' crazy mind. Filmed at the Canberra Theatre in Australia's capital this is Noble at his best. If you are watching him for the first time, please bear in mind that his are not the most linear of shows and there are many tangents. But the brilliant thing about Ross is that he will get around to what he has to say in the end, and we should just sit back and enjoy the journey.
One of the wonderful things about his comedy is that much of it is improvised and based on what people in the crowd say. Therefore each show is different, even on the same tour.
I thoroughly recommend this DVD and his others, and go and see him live!! You won't regret it.
