Ross Noble

Thursday night was what I had been waiting for since seeing a flyer at the train station the day we arrived in Melbourne. Ross Noble.

I've seen him many time and hold him in high regard, so could wait to see him perform in his home for half the year.

He was on top form for his opening night and spend pretty much the entire first half working with the audience which is a pure delight to witness. So many charachters were involved that I wil try to mention at a later date when I have more time.

I went with Kate's sister Petra who has seen lots of Noble but never live, I think she had a great time.

This will probably only make sense to Petra but this will give you an idea of how random Ross is....

Characters from the audience included in the show....

The “Noooo” man who wanted tickets to Rove.
The people in the wrong seats.
The man in the worst seat in the world.
The woman with the glittering ring.
The man who had to remember “Hair” who had no hair.
The girls who left Ross a note saying “We Love You!!”, excessive use of the exclamation mark.
And the worlds worst mum and (for bringing her 12-year-old daughter).

Things we talked about......

Hippo-Gimp / Hippogriff
Giant Japanese calligraphy written with Ross' hair, read by a man in a glider.
Ross looking like an Anorexic man from Lost.
The most idiotic comment ever, English guy on his move to Melbourne “I moved cause of the immigrants”.
Shaking hands after sex.
