Hide AdWhat can we expect from Ross’s latest tour?
Following his hugely successful previous ‘Jibber Jabber Jamboree’, the revered comic will be bringing his inimitable train-of-thought comedy and randomist wit back to UK stages for his 22nd solo stand-up tour from October 22 2025 – March 22 2026.
Called Cranium of Curiosities, the 56-date tour is described as a “tornado of tangents” but not much else has been given away.
In fact the show description reads: “What the show will be about is anybody’s guess, but that’s all part of the fun when you look inside his Cranium of Curiosities.”


What has Ross said about his new tour?
Ross said: “I can’t wait to get back on the road in the UK. The roar of the crowd and the call of the motorway services sausage roll hot plate is too great to ignore.”
