Funnyman Ross Noble is returning to Cumbria with his latest stand-up show next year.

The surreal shows of the Geordie genius regularly sell out and he brings his Humournoid tour to The Sands Centre, Carlisle, on May 1.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday.

Noble last appeared at The Sands in November with his El Hablador show. The new 36-date tour which starts next April, includes three nights at Newcastle City Hall from May 21-23.

Humournoid will be his 17th 16 nationwide stand-up tour and follows his recent critically acclaimed performance as Igor in Mel Brooks’ West End revival of monster hit musical Young Frankenstein, at London’s Garrick Theatre.

As well as his on-stage work, Ross is a regular on national UK TV and radio programmes such as QI and Have I Got News for You on BBC One and Just a Minute on BBC Radio 4.

The funnyman has also presented Ross Noble: Off Road on Dave and in late 2018 presented his own typically surreal magazine show for Radio 4 called Britain In Bits.
