Ross Noble. Now how do you begin to explain this bloke to the general public? He’s one of comedy’s greatest improvisors. At least when you see one of his shows you would think it was improvised.

There is always room in this world for dead comedians, eh? I think sometimes dead comedians are funnier than live ones…so this one’s for Dave Allen …
