Comedian • Actor

Birth Date: June 5, 1976

Age: 48 years old

Birth Place: Cramlington, Northumberland, England, UK

Ross Noble is a British stand-up comedian and actor known for his quick wit, improvisational style, and surreal stream-of-consciousness humor. He was born on June 5, 1976, in Northumberland, England. Noble first gained recognition on the UK comedy circuit in the late 1990s and became particularly famous for his live shows, where much of the material is ad-libbed and heavily involves audience interaction.

He’s appeared on numerous British panel shows like "QI," "Have I Got News for You," and "Mock the Week," and he’s also performed several critically acclaimed stand-up specials, including "Ross Noble: Unrealtime," "Ross Noble: Sonic Waffle," and "Ross Noble: Noodlemeister." His comedy is marked by digressions, surreal tangents, and a tendency to get sidetracked in hilarious ways.

Ross Noble has also worked as an actor, appearing in the TV series "The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star," and starred in the 2012 horror-comedy film "Stitches." He is a frequent guest on radio and TV comedy shows in the UK and Australia and is regarded as one of the most inventive and unpredictable comedians of his generation.
