Product Description
Product Description
A brilliant new BBC Radio 4 series of comedy travelogues presented by award-winning stand-up and JUST A MINUTE regular Ross Noble. Perrier Award nominee Ross Noble has received huge critical acclaim and become known as an exciting and original talent in the UK. Now he takes his show worldwide, to destinations as diverse as Australia, Italy, Egypt and Belgium by day and entertaining the locals with his microphone by night. In the first episode, Ross travels to Brussels...A City with a reputation a little on the dull side. But he soon finds out that with chocolate on every corner, a puzzling statue of an incontinent child, and the honour of being associated with the always-exciting Jean-Claude Van Damme, Brussels might be his kind of city after all...Half hilarious stand-up routines, half cultural observations, these shows are both a tempting taster of the cities he visits and a perfect opportunity to spend some time in the wacky, whimsical, fantastically funny world of Ross Noble.

Michael Palin without the television, research, education value, or Michael Palin.
Noble devotees and the unitiated alike will love this offering- his trademark rambling, a kung-fu obsession and a helping of those rather tactless comments we all would make in a foreign country but for the fear that some of the locals speak English. 'Tis a glorious mix of badly-researched travelogue and excerpts from the live performances that the series follows Ross Noble to in China, Singapore, Budapest, South Africa and Ireland. It bears listening to again and again and is not just for mature tastes- it'll eat up the miles on long family drives, or just have it on the background for this pleasant fellows Geordie accent. If y'like that sort of thing.
In these days of the global village, when the romantic days of exploring the true unknown with Professor Challenger, Uncle Lidenbrock and the (less fictitious) Dr Livingstones and Shackletons, it might be argued that the magic has gone from traveling purely for the sake of it- but with comedians like Ross Noble, it's been given a new take- irreverant, fantastically funny and occasioanlly, quite bizzare.
So buy it, and discover duck tongues, donkeys and how far taxis in China'll take ya. All from the comfort of your setee.

I listend to this series on the BBC Website, and have been searching for this series on CD ever since, but to no avail. But I log onto Amazon today and here it is!! This is classic Ross Noble. Absolute comedy genious, the Belgium episode is the funniest with his veiws on a museum made entirely of waffles!!! If ou like this CD dont forget, Ross Noble Goes Global Series 1 and of course his DVD, Unrealtime!

What can I say about this CD? It really is pure class. The fascinating incite into the local cultures of South Africa,Ireland,China and Singapore are funny but at the same time informative. And the little bits of standup wedged inbetween are equally as funny.
I urge anyone with a love of comedy to buy this CD, you will not be disapointed! And if you ever have the chance to see him live, DO IT!! I saw him at the B'ham Alexandria and he was absolutly superb!! I'm sure if a DVD was to be released then it would be equally as successful as this CD.
Unleash the dairy based anger.........

Absolutely Awful
Save your money. This is a rambling, boring trip to nowhere. Most of the dialogue sounds like an unfunny drunk annoying the locals and the background sounds, far from giving you... Read more

Brilliant!
Ross Noble is a pure genius, great to hear some earlier work (also produced by Danny Wallace - Great Suprise!) especially since I came late to his pure comic genius!

And the point of this is ???
I Like Ross Noble. He is intelligent, observant and very funny. And this offering contains all 3 virtues but only for about 20% of the 2 cd`s. Read more
