My feet hardly touched the
floor and I felt like the luckiest
girl/boy on earth.”
Weird and
wonderful
Yes, it was bewilderingly surreal. And it was cultish,
sometimes impenetrably so. But The Mighty Boosh
was one of the most original comedy troupes
of the Noughties. Now, a venue in Shoreditch is
hosting a winter-long Mighty Boosh-themed arts
event, including a Halloween party, an exhibition of
photos, illustrations and props from the live shows, a
piñata-making afternoon, and even a “catastrophic,
shambolic” attempt to create a brand new Mighty
Boosh show.
The show’s star, Noel Fielding (above), sounds
very excited at the prospect. He describes the
original live shows as “an amazing time in my life
where my feet hardly touched the floor and I felt like
the luckiest girl/boy on earth.”
