Ross Noble is like a cross between Eddie Izzard and Billy Connolly, but still original enough to stand out from the crowd. I bought this DVD after hearing him on the radio and I've already watched it twice.
Both concerts are hilarious, but I prefer the Regents Park gig. There were parts where I was laughing so much I couldn't breathe and when I watched it with friends, they also loved it.
Highlights are the "24 Ice Cream Van", "Canvey Island Gig", "Hawking & Chimpenstein" and the real reason why Chewbacca from Star Wars makes that growling noise.
If you like stand-up, don't miss this!

Perhaps some people don't get the Noble style of humour - perhaps it is not linear enough for them. But if you can handle commedy that is not delivered as a sequence of pre-written stories with a few ad-libbed links then Noble is your man - the ability to head of on a series of tangents all leading from seemingly random thoughts and yet still lead back to the original point is to be marveled at. I have never laughed so much at a comedian in my life.
It is not a question of whether this man is as funny as some say it is a question of whether it is funny to you - to me it was hilarious.

This is one of the best stand-up DVDs I've ever seen - Ross Noble is one of the best comedians working today, and this DVD really catches him in full flight.
The first disc contains an extended version of the Unrealtime show that was on BBC2 earlier this year - the show itself is fantastic, and the added footage to this version makes it even better. As always, Ross seems to take up half the show with simple observations about his audience and interactions with them - only towards the end does he get to his prepared material, and even then, it has a wonderfully random quality. The second disc is an outdoor show from last summer, and is just as good if not better as the first disc - as always, he spends a lot of the show talking to his audience, and the final ten minutes of this show is some of the best comedy I've ever seen (Ross is right - I truly do believe that the Bible WOULD be a better story if Jesus had an exploding face). Ross will sometimes venture into what might be controversial territory, but unlike some comedians, he never goes too far, and is likeable enough that it doesn't matter.
The special features on this DVD are generally excellent. Ross provides audio commentaries for both shows, and although they're not always the most informative in the world, this is clearly intentional, and there are some comedy gems to be found, such as the time Ross's mobile phone goes off during the commentary, and on the other end is none other than Danny Wallace - who Ross puts on speakerphone to talk to us. The trivia facts are funny, there's a preview for his next DVD, and a good mini-documentary following Ross on tour.
Overall, this is a fantastic package, and I can hardly wait for his next DVD.

I love good comedy, and I don't think there is much of it about.
I don't get the obsession with Little Britain or Catherine Tate, I like my comedy to have some kind of message and at times be completely off the wall, without ever treating the audience like children.
Comedy seems to frequent the 'child' view of the world too much, I want more adult comedy for thinking people.
Bill Hicks would be the finest in my opinion, but this guy, Mr. Noble, is completely bonkers, and brilliant for it.
His tangents (although not always hilarious) show the workings of an over active imagination perfectly.
I have an one of these so I know what it feels like.
Bannana hairpiece away!!!

Ross Noble is extremely funny, very off the cuff kinda comedian, who just lets his imagination - and show run wild. Ok, so all comedians have a basic structure incase all goes wrong - but Noble uses the audience and encourages them to take part - which is often lost in new stand-up shows.
Even if you are not a huge fan of Stand-up, hes gentle and just out to make you laugh and himself.
Another fantastic thing about the show, is though he involves the public, he doesn't let them take over, and doesn't rip them. Ok maybe a little joke here and there. There are some comedians that continually rip one person - but this just shows how nice a guys Noble is. He's a legend.
Ok, so if you are a tramp or Steven Hawkins - you may not enjoy this!

How much can one pack into a DVD? Ross Noble gives us that and more in his DVD charting two of his shows- his Unrealtime show at the Garrick Theatre, and the Outdoor show at Regents Park. By all accounts this would have been enough, as to hear Mr Noble prattle on about such nonsensical topics such as Hari Krishnas, Maths Hats ( ? ), Ice Cream Vans and Deaf Northerners would be enough to gain a laugh out of anyone not in the middle of rigor mortis. What makes this even better is the fact that Ross Noble has also placed on these two DVD's, a bounty full of extra footage, including previews of other gigs, adding up to about another 25 mins, outrageous subtitles and his own bizarre commentaries. Add all this together and you have the makings of a classic DVD that truly stands out from the crowd.

Find the biggest container you can, fill it to the brim with water and then chisel a small hole into the side. The water will constantly seep out. It will never stop. Read more
