Ross Noble is heading back to the UK for a new batch of tour dates.

The Geordie surrealist has been touring Australia for the past few months, including a record-breaking run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

He has one more moth of his Noodlemeister tour to perform there, and a handful of gigs in New Zealand, plus some promotional work to tie in with the Australian release of his Unrealtime DVD in June.

His new show, entitled Randomist, will skip the Edinburgh Fringe, but instead kick off in Dublin on September 14.

A further 34 UK dates have been announced so far – click here for full details – with further dates in London and Scotland expected to be announced soon.
