Ross Noble is an English stand-up comedian.

Noble has been performing stand-up since appearing in his local comedy club at the age of 15, despite licensing laws that prohibited him working there. Coming from Cramlington, a new town, "the ultimate in dullness" helped him with career, he said. "There was nothing to do so I used my imagination a lot, otherwise I would have started climbing the wall."

Noble has become known as an exciting and original performer and has received huge critical acclaim. His distinctive stand up routine often turns into an improvised and surreal performance based on informal conversation with the audience. He is a former Perrier Award nominee and a Time Out award winner for best live stand-up and has won a many other prestigious awards and nominations.

His 2003 show Unrealtime was the official best-selling show at the Edinburgh Fringe, before transferring to London's West End for a month long season at The Garrick Theatre where it played to packed houses. A recording of this tour was shown on BBC Two in 2004, and a double DVD set was released later that year.

During 2004, Noble performed at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival amongst other venues with his show Noodlemeister.

He has also appeared on many TV shows in Australia such as Network Ten's Rove (Live), The Panel, and the ABC's The Glasshouse; and in the UK on BBC's Johnny Vaughan Tonight and Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Noble has also made five appearances on BBC 1's Have I Got News for You and makes regular contributions to BBC Radio 4's Just a Minute. He has hosted Radio 4's stand up show 4 At The Store.

Noble's worldwide travels as a stand-up are the subject of his own BBC Radio 4 series Ross Noble Goes Global, produced by Danny Wallace.

In January 2005 he joined Australian comedian Terri Psiakis in co-hosting the weekday lunch shift on national radio station Triple J. Although the show was intended as a "filler" over the ratings-free summer period, the response to the duo on their website was a lot more positive than expected.
