Ross Noble

Noble can turn a passing remark into an elaborate imaginary world, letting the room change the direction of the performance. Randomist is a useful starting point because its recordings offer more room for those detours than a short highlight clip. Watch how an apparently abandoned thought returns after a long diversion. His appeal is the willingness to follow an uncertain idea and make its development part of the entertainment, with physical invention giving the audience something to picture as well as something to answer.
