Kim Noble / Noble & Silver E1



Last weekend I saw Kim Noble Will Die at the Soho Theatre. I thought it was an awesome show but it will not be for everyone. Difficult to categorize - it is a personal piece that is at times sad and shocking and which also pushes boundaries of taste (truly 'avante-garde') - but I also found it brilliantly, cathartically funny. I've rarely laughed so heartily and sincerely at any kind of media in my life. Maybe it means I'm fucked up too, but hey. Here's a preview/interview and a review to give you a flavour and check out his website too.

And further to my earlier post on his now (hopefully not permanently?) defunct double act with Stuart Silver here is the first episode of the superlative Noble and Silver TV series which I just found on Youtube.

Noble And Silver

I absolutely fucking love the art-comedy duo Noble And Silver. I have great memories of their six part TV series, 'Noble And Silver: Get Off Me!' which I was sure was going to take off, and a performance I caught in The Hen & Chickens theatre in North London. They take Reeves And Mortimer or Mighty Boosh surreality to the next level. But as Marty McFly once so wisely said: 'I guess you kids aren't ready for that just yet'

Anyway, here's some videos that Noble And Silver have recently uploaded onto YouTube to give you a flavour.
