Chortle, 9th February 2018You know him as Ross Noble, lethargic Tyneside comedian. In fact, he has an alter ego: lethargic Tyneside comedian on motorcycle.

British Comedy Guide, 8th November 2017Review: Young Frankenstein, (Garrick Theatre)
It's definitely a midweek show, rather than a weekend blockbuster, and probably not for the faint hearted (or the politically correct), as it's quite crude and full of euphemisms (what's not to like?), although it does have a moral. That said, Young Frankenstein is an evening of harmless fun that warrants its standing ovation.
