Ross Noble: Cranium of Curiosities
Roll up, roll up! Or use a more conventional form of transport to get to the show. It’s entirely your choice. Unless you accidentally become trapped in a barrel*.
Should that happen, then just find an incline and start rolling to see the one and only Ross Noble!
He is the Wizard of Waffle, The Rambler Royale, The Noodlers’ Noodler, and he’s back live on stage to tour a tornado of tangents.
What the show will be about is anybody’s guess, but that’s all part of the fun when you look inside his Cranium of Curiosities.
*We strongly advise trying not to get trapped in a barrel before or during the performance. Despite the expression “barrel of laughs,” it may impede your enjoyment of the show.

TOD Talks
Terrible Ideas, Improvised.
Each night some of the finest comedians of the Festival try to convince us that they are experts... the twist is, they will have no idea what their expert subject is until they walk out on stage! Supported by presentation slides they have never seen before.
It is a masterclass in sh*t-talking. A battleground of pop-culture references, quick wit, cringeworthy puns, and improvised absurdity.
TOD Talks will have you clutching your sides in stitches, hanging off every word, and grateful you’re not the one getting on stage.
"The backyard cricket of TED Talks"
Anything can happen in TOD Talks, but rarely are they good ideas.
"Priceless! Cringe-worthy to belly laughing brilliance in just moments... a psychedelic version of TED Talks gone awry" ★★★★★ Fringefeed, 2020
