Come with us to The Mighty Boosh

The Boosh has finally arrived. I ordered my tickets well over a year ago and it is finally here. So tomorrow night I will be going to Wembley Stadium and enjoying the live creations of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt.

So come with us to The Mighty Boosh. Here we shall take a look into the world of the Boosh and its dark, twisted humour. Ok, basically The Boosh, as its more commonly known as, is the brainchild of Fielding and Barratt. The first series was set in a Zoo called the "Zooniverse". Although the zoo was the backdrop for series one the characters often find themselves well outside the confines of the zoo gates.

The two main characters, Vince Noir and Howard Moon, played by Fielding and Boosh respectively are two clashing personalities. It is this clash that makes the whole show come together. Howard's attempt at educating Vince in the world of Jazz, poetry and art is a lost cause. Partly because Vince is so concerned with his appearance, in particular his hair, which in the words of Vince himself is "practically a hat"and has 21 people working on it at any one time.

The pair are accompanied by Bollo, a gorilla, and Naboo, a shaman who runs the gift shop, despite having the power to exact voodoo vengeance on the wrongdoers.

Along their journey, which starts and ends at the Zooniverse, they encounter many strange characters such as Old Greg, a cave dwelling, seaweed creation who is obsessed with Baileys, The Hitcher whose green skin and unusually large thumb would be enough to stop any normal person from offering him a lift and then of course there is Mr Susan, a creature made out of chamois who dwells in the world of mirrors.

The further throughout the three series you travel the more twisted it becomes. They venture out of the zoo and into a flat in Shoreditch and then onto a shop called Nabootique. The journey is a wonderful one, if not a bit disturbing, and randomly filled by polos. Enjoy the ride.
