More Noel Fielding videos

Although primarily known as one half of The Boosh with Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding has also maintained an independent career as a stand-up.

He has appeared at Montreal's Just For Laughs festival in 1998, and made stand-up appearances on Channel 4 and Five before finding success with The Boosh.

The double-act made their debut at the 1998 Edinburgh and Sydney festivals, earning them the Perrier best newcomer award, and returned to Edinburgh in 1999, when they were nominated for the main award, 2000 and 2001. The 2000 show, Autoboosh, won the equivalent Barry award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

The Boosh was picked up by Radio4 in 2001 for a series which won the first and only Douglas Adams Award for Innovative Comedy Writing. The show transferred to BBC Three for two series in 2004 and 2005, giving them a cult success that enabled them to embark on a major nationwide tour in 2006.

For his solo work, he won the Time Out Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, while his first live solo show Voodoo Hedgehog was nominated for the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 2002.

His TV performances as an actor include The IT Crowd, Nathan Barley and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace – all for Channel 4.

I feel I am rapildy developing an obsession for the lovely Noel. He is magic indeed, his comedy is pure escapism, such a change to alot of the pap around at the moment.

My favourite comedian by far - love the wicked little grins he does when you just know he's seeking out a point to jump in and say something random but hilarious. I'll never stop laughing as long as the Boosh lives

Brady, October 2005

When he can be bothered, Fielding's among the best I've seen, but I've also seen him let himself down through simply not having anything new to say and I've seen his groupie-audience ruin his performance by simply baying for old punchlines until he gives him them (as he shouldn't). You can get the feeling that if you don't know him already, it's too late--the show's almost all pitched at the (highly irritating) initiated.

I was scared shitless at first but soon fell in love with his attitude

Noel's performances have you living in a spectacular dream from begining to end. His classic creations are the best i've ever seen, especially the jelly fox! I hope his energetic flow of creativity never runs out

The Mighty Boosh is wonderful, Noel is incredibly funny and just a touch gorgeous...All adds up to one hell of a good performer

Aimee, August 2005

Words can't express how much I love Noel Fielding. He's totally magical.

Sarah, June 2005

His surrealism so brilliant and creative that you actually believe his weird imaginings are true! I've been transfixed since I first heard The Mighty Boosh. Great stuff
