"Why do I always meet weird people when I come to Brighton?"

The words pot and kettle spring to mind, Ross.

It's only three months since the Noodlemeister's last sell-out appearance in the city with what was billed as essentially the same show.

But, such is the mop-haired maestro's propensity for disappearing into improvised flights of fancy, it is difficult to believe any two performances by this unique comic talent could be the same.

From the moment he lurches on stage looking like a worried modern-day Neanderthal, the only thing that is certain about the next hour and a half is that Ross Noble will make you laugh. A lot.

In the first five minutes he describes his own style perfectly.

"Like watching a child with attention deficit disorder who's just discovered a secret stash of Sunny Delight."

The young Geordie then takes you on a journey to his warped world of formation lesbian marching, confectionery abuse, fat ninjas, monkeys and harnessing children for ploughing. And he makes more than a few bizarre detours and surreal wrong turns along the way.

As the title suggests, the show is a brilliantly-tangled mess of crazy parallel realities, off-the-wall philosophies and strange half-baked ideas.

Noble's stream of consciousness is more like a raging torrent, and his ability to 'go off on one' but still be engaging and hilarious, is remarkable.

Where most stand-ups would put down hecklers with a sharp insult or barbed retort, Ross takes on board their comments and freestyles with them for the next 15 minutes.

Ross appears in Brighton at least twice a year and clearly has a special relationship with the local audience. He is also a big fan of the venue.

"In a recent survey of domes this theatre came second only to Mad Max's Thunderdome," he said.

But the show isn't all about fantasy, nonsense and using shire horse figurines as marital aids. Ross has an eye on politics and current affairs and is not short of an idea or two on how to make the world a better place.

His policy on fighting crime and antisocial behaviour? "Just shoot anybody wearing any item of Burberry clothing. Problem solved."

And ideas for TV programmes to revive flagging TV viewing figures without dumbing down? "Vanessa Feltz wrestling with a giant pig non-stop for an hour, without commercial breaks."

As the man himself sums up so succinctly: "I'm the king of talking b******s."
