Ross Noble has announced a new 53-date stand-up tour Jibber Jabber Jamboree.

The tour will kick off on October 25 2023 and run to March 2024, including a three-night homecoming run at Newcastle’s O2 City Hall and two performances at London’s Palladium.

It will be Noble’s 21^st solo stand-up tour, and follows his last Humournoid, which wrapped up in February.

The comic – who has performing stand-up since the age of 15 when he was smuggled into his local comedy club – said: “It will be a playful experience for young and old. Imagine watching someone create a magic carpet on an enchanted loom. Oh, hang on… magic carpets fly, that would smash the loom as it took flight. I haven’t thought that through…

‘That’s what people can expect. Razor sharp observations on things I haven’t thought through.’

Noble has been touring his stand-up in Australia, where he spends half the year.
