Stand-up shows are often more entertaining when the comedian has some sort of angle, and Ross Noble's angle is that he waffles. He'll take a subject (usually something to do with the audience) and then simply go off on one, and the way that he improvises to get from one place to another shows great imagination, and Ross Noble shows his penchant for comedy by the way that he keeps several threads hanging the air at a time, meaning he can go back to one and usually garner a laugh. It has to be said that, at times, he goes a bit too far and it can be exhausting to watch. More often that not, though, Noble's comedy shows originality and great humour and things such as ideas for Billy Elliot 2 and a puppet show using hands his hands are funnier than they probably should be. This comedy show also benefits from a title that very aptly sums what the show is all about. Going into a show called 'Sonic Waffle' ensures that you know what kind of show it's going to be. Noble's relaxed persona and the fluent way that the show flows makes this a winner, and I'll definitely see another of his shows if given the chance.
