Kim Noble is an award-winning artist and comedian. He was one half of the BAFTA-nominated comedy duo Noble and Silver, who won the 2000 Perrier Award (now the if.comedy award) for Best Newcomer. Kim has since gone on to feature in shows such as The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, and Man to Man with Dean Learner, as well as appearing onstage in his own one-man show. His stage work, by himself and with Stuart Silver, has an emphasis on performance art, as well as surreal comedy.

Career

Noble and Silver

Kim Noble and his writing and performance partner Stuart Silver first came to national prominence upon winning the Best Newcomer Perrier Award in 2000. Trained in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University, the duo received as much praise from the art community as from comedy aficionados. This work draws together visual art, stand-up, theatre, and performance art.

Post-Perrier shows as Noble and Silver include Pleasance Above at the 2001 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, a collage of video, recorded sound and performance and a month-long residency in London’s Beaconsfield art space, entitled We’re Spending Four Weeks at Beaconsfield, So Let’s Hope Everything Goes OK (Part 4) Throughout this time in residence, they performed daily “situational” shows within and around the gallery, which became a live work environment, using a small cast to become a part of the visitor’s art experience: from screening a spoof corporate video upon entrance, to altering gallery signage, to preparing and serving food from the kitchen.

In Spring 2001 the UK digital channel E4 commissioned a six-part series entitled Noble and Silver: Get Off Me!. It included an episode where the duo performed in a theatre an intentionally bad act, seemingly imploding as a partnership onstage. This act was performed solely for a couple unaware that they were placed among an audience of actors who were in on the joke, and who were addressed by the act and the audience afterwards.

Solo work

Noble’s solo work as an actor and performer has gone on to include television and stage work. He played the role of Jim in three episodes of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace: ‘Once Upon A Beginning’, ‘Hell Hath Fury’, and ‘The Apes of Wrath’. He also featured in the Garth Marenghi episode of Man to Man with Dean Learner, as well as the episodes with Merriman Weir and Randolph Caer. He has also appeared in series three of The Mighty Boosh, as Jackie in ‘Journey to the Centre of The Punk’.

Kim also appeared as a drunken Santa who staggers around London in the video for Malcolm Middleton’s 2007 Christmas single, ‘We’re All Going To Die’.

Kim also continues to pursue his career as an artist. His solo work has featured a performance at 2007’s Bonkersfest! festival, ‘Kim Noble Will Invest in You’ at Alma Enterprises,’Considerations for an Island Race’ at Whitstable Biennial 2008 and a run of shows in April 2009 at the Soho Theatre entitled ‘Kim Noble Will Die’, in which he discussed his mental illness and suicidal impulses at length, noting his plans to throw himself to his death from Waterloo Bridge on 27 May 2009. He performed a version of the same show at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, where he threatened to jump to his death from Edinburgh’s North Bridge. As of March 2013, he remains alive and has an exhibition taking place at Market Gallery, Glasgow.

His show You’re Not Alone won a total theatre Award in 2014 and was nominated for 2 Chortle Awards.

Michael J. Fox’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Michael J. Fox Net Worth and Salary: Michael J. Fox is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, author, film producer, and activist who has a net worth of $65 million. He has a film and television career spanning from the 1970s, and is probably best known for his starring role in the “Back to the Future” films. Early Life and Career Beginnings: Michael Andrew Fox was born in Edmonton, Alberta, on June 9, 1961. He is best known by his stage name Michael J. Fox. His mother, Phyllis (née Piper) was an actress and payroll clerk, and his father, William Fox, was a police officer and Canadian Forces member. He is of English and Scottish descent. Due to his father’s career, the family moved around a lot before finally settling in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver, when his father retired in 1971. Fox attended Burnaby Central Secondary School. He first entered the world of entertainment when he was fifteen years old. He starred in the Canadian television series “Leo and Me”, produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The show was initially produced and filmed in 1976, but it did not air until 1981. It had a total of 12 episodes. He had his American television debut in the TV film “Letters from Frank” (1979). It was at this time, when he tried to register with the Screen Actors Guild, that he discovered that there was already an actor registered under the name Michael Fox. He did not like the sound of “Michael A. Fox”, and he also did not like the names “Andrew” or “Andy”, so instead he chose to adopt a new middle initial. He settled on “J.” as a tribute to the actor Michael J. Pollard. Acting Career: Fox’s first feature film role was in the 1980 film “Midnight Madness”, followed by the 1982 film “Class of 1984”. Then, in 1982, he was cast as “Young Republican” Alex P. Keaton in the NBC show “Family Ties”. The series aired for seven seasons, from 1982 to 1989. The original focus of the show was supposed to be the parents of the family, but after widespread positive reception of Fox’s character, NBC made him the main character after the fourth episode. He show was extremely successful; at the height of its popularity, it drew one-third of American household in as viewers every week. For his performance on “Family Ties”, Fox won three Emmy Awards (in 1986, 1987, and 1988) and a Golden Globe Award (in 1989). In January 1985, Fox was cast as Marty McFly in the time travel film “Back to the Future”. The director Robert Zemeckis wanted to cast Fox as Marty right from the beginning, but Gary David Goldberg, the creator of “Family Ties”, refused to allow Zemeckis to approach Fox because he needed Fox to carry the show in the absence of Meredith Baxter, who was on maternity leave at the time. Zemeckis cast Eric Stoltz as Marty instead, and began production on “Back to the Future”, but eventually replaced Stoltz with Fox after Baxter returned to “Family Ties”, which freed up Fox’s schedule a little bit. In order to work on both the film and the tv series at once, Fox had to endure a grueling schedule. He would rehearse for “Family Ties” from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. before going to the “Back to the Future” set to rehearse and shoot until 2:30 a.m. This schedule lasted for two months! His efforts were worth it, however, as “Back to the Future” was a huge commercial and critical success. It earned a worldwide total of $381.11 million, and spent eight consecutive weekends as the No. 1 movie at the US box office in 1985. Fox would later go on to star in the two successful sequels as well, “Back to the Future Part II” (1989) and “Back to the Future Part III” (1990). During and immediately after working on the “Back to the Future” trilogy, Fox starred in the films “Teen Wolf” (1985), “Light of Day” (1987), “The Secret of My Success” (1987), “Bright Lights, Big City” (1988), and “Casualties of War” (1989). In 1991, Fox starred in the films “Doc Hollywood” and “The Hard Way”. That same year, a private diagnosis confirmed he had Parkinson’s disease. After being told he likely had “ten good working years left”, Fox hurriedly signed a three-film contract. This resulted in the films “For Love or Money” (1993), “Life With Mikey” (1993), and “Greedy” (1994). Fox’s last major film role was in Peter Jackson’s 1996 film “The Frighteners”. In addition to his on-screen roles, Fox has lent his voice to multiple films. He voiced Chance the American Bulldog in Disney’s live-action film “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” (1993), and its sequel “Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco” (1996). He also voiced the titular character in “Stuart Little” (1999) and its sequels “Stuart Little 2” (2002) and “Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild” (2005), as well as the character of Milo Thatch in the Disney animated film “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” (2001). Later in his career, Fox starred in the ABC show “Spin City”, which began airing in 1996. He left the show after the fourth season. One of the major projects he has worked on since then includes “The Michael J. Fox Show”, which aired on NBC from 2013 to 2014. Other Work: Since 2000, Fox has released three books: “Lucky Man: A Memoir” (2002), “Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist” (2009), and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future: Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned” (2010). Personal Life: Fox married actress Tracy Pollan in July 1988. Together, they share four children. He is the founder of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to help advance research work with embryonic stem cell studies with a goal of finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease. To date the foundation has raised over $300 million for Parkinson’s research. The family lives primarily in Manhattan, but maintain an additional home in Quogue, New York (the Hamptons) which they purchased in October 2007 for $6.3 million. In 1997 Michael and Tracy custom-built a 5,000 square-foot home in on 72-acres in Sharon, Connecticut.
