Although still only 28 years old, Geordie Ross has been performing stand-up since he was smuggled into his local comedy club at the age of 15.

Now regarded as one of the greatest and most original performers on the circuit, this ebullient Perrier nominee and winner of Time Out's Best Live Stand-Up prize receives critical acclaim wherever he goes.

Throughout his career, Ross has concentrated on playing live and relentlessly toured his own shows, building up a devoted army of fans throughout the world.

His appearances regularly break box office records and he can lay claim to having the best-selling show at both the Edinburgh and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals on more than one occasion.

Ross has appeared as a guest on a variety of TV shows, including Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, Jack Dee Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You?, and his worldwide travels have become the subject of his own Radio 4 series Ross Noble Goes Global.

Following the sell-out success of his summer tour, one of the unreserved giants of the comic fraternity brings his insane live show Noodlemeister to the Brighton Comedy Festival.

Sparkling with spontaneity and tackling every topic you could care to mention, Ross will be delivering nothing less than the finest, most frenetic stand-up there is. Stick it in your diary now.

Of course, licensing laws meant he had to leave through the kitchen but since that day, he has never looked back.

In February 2004, as part of Ross Noble Night, BBC2 broadcast a one-hour film of Ross performing live from his season at The Garrick Theatre in London - for those who missed it, an extended version of the show is being released on DVD this October.

Starts 8pm, Tickets £16/£14.
