STORIES ABOUT ODDBALLS AND THOSE WHO MARCH TO THE BEAT OF THEIR OWN DRUM.
GOne half of the comic dynamic duo The Mighty Boosh, was born in London in 1973. Along with partner Julian Bartlett, they created the surrealist ingenius comedy sketch show where they played several characters which have come into the English pop culture such as Old Gregg(a merman obsessed with funk music) and his main character Vince Noir(always looking to become a famous pop singer and obsessed over his hair) and of course the hilarious psychotic Hitcher(a green witch with an over sized thumb)
For Fielding, it seems, life is imitating art. Every time you turn around he has changed his face, his hair, and often into KISS style makeup that has led many to call him the David Bowie of comedy
While still apart of the English game show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, he has appeared on the sitcom IT CROWD as Richmond the Goth that is ever so depressed
His brand of surrealistic-childish comedy isn't for everyone. His new show, minus Bartlett, is Noel Fielding 's Luxury Comedy , feels like a demented Saturday morning kids show for adults, where he plays over 50 different characters. When it first appeared it had very low ratings. After a few episodes those who tuned in has stayed with it. Possibly,this outing for Fielding could turn into a cult hit
as it did with THE MIGHTY BOOSH.
