Acclaimed comedian Ross Noble isn't afraid of a good chat, but he's looking to stay fairly tight-lipped on what he's got lined up for the Tassie leg of his national comedy tour.

"I'm wary of describing the show," Mr Noble said. "The great thing about stand up is that it can kind of be whatever you want it to be - you're the writer, director and performer all rolled into one.
"My stuff is fairly loose. It depends who's in the audience."
The British comedian will be travelling all around the state this week performing his show 'On the Go', with a performance set for the Princess Theatre in Launceston on Wednesday evening.
From there, Mr Noble will be heading down south before winding things up at the paranaple arts centre in Devonport on Saturday.
It's a thrill getting back in front of live audiences and travelling across the country again, he said.
"I think the big difference (since before the pandemic) is that audiences, and performers, are just far more appreciative of being able to get out there.
"I'm anticipating in Tasmania lively crowds - so I'll be a bit disappointed if that's not the case."
With the really good shows, you just sort of lose track of time.
- Ross Noble
For those looking for a bit of insight into what to expect with the performance, Mr Noble said it would be his trademark playful, imaginative riffing. What you shouldn't expect, however, is to have heard it all before.
"Some people write a show and then tour that show, just do it word for word," he said. "My stuff can change just depending on what mood I'm in, or what I've observed that afternoon."
That's what makes performing live so appealing, Mr Noble said.
"With the really good shows, you just sort of lose track of time. It's sort of like your brain takes over... and at the end you feel like you've performed for only five minutes."
Tickets to On The Go are available through the Theatre North website.
