ROSS NOBLE EL HABLADOR Who is El Hablador? It’s Ross Noble.

No, but who is the one they call El Hablador?

I just said, it is Ross Noble. You know? Long hair, does stand up where he dances about the stage, spinning out all the nonsense in his head into a show.

But what is the legend of El Hablador?

I don’t think it’s a thing. It’s clearly Ross coming up with a name for his show, so he can make out like he is some sort of mysterious shadowy figure.
