Product Description
Product Description
This work features the complete "BBC Radio 4" series from Perrier award-winning comedy duo Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding plus an exclusive interview with The Mighty Boosh. Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are The Mighty Boosh and together they write and star in their first radio series which won the Douglas Adams Award for Innovative Comedy Writing. Here are all six episodes of the "BBC Radio 4" series, complete and uncut, from the winners of the Perrier Best Newcomer Award. Welcome to the surreal world of Zooniverse where two zookeepers Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) embark on an array of magical and bizarre adventures that include a trip to the Arctic tundra to find a lost egg, an expedition deep into the jungle and being trapped inside a hitchhiker's box. Feel the bracken, isolate the crisps and calm your llama down with some blue pants - this is a madcap style of music and mayhem which sounds mighty like The Boosh. Described by the "Observer" as 'Some of the most inventive comedy writing of the decade', and eliciting an exclamation of 'Wow!' from "Simpsons'" creator Matt Groening, come with us now on a journey through time and space - to the world of The Mighty Boosh...' It's as novel as "Knowing Me, Knowing You" or "The League of Gentlemen" were in their day...the real thing's never hard to spot, and The Boosh is it' - "Daily Telegraph".

If you are the sort of faintly unhinged and nonsensical person who likes their comedy equally unhinged and nonsensical, a la Reeves and Mortimer, buy this now, but don't expect to get your life back. You'll wander around, muttering about the Spirit of Jazz leaping from a minim, or Uncle Pedro the fisherman who only fishes "in my miiiind", or Tommy the back-of-the-spoon pigmy. You'll answer "It is written" to everything. You'll sing about Mr Rogers the Drum 'n' Bass Cobra, or "blackbird's head on a raven's torso - can't really tell with that one, it's a subtle one". This is screamingly funny comedy. Unfortunately, it is also highly addictive, so if you are the sort of weak person who succumbs easily to obsessive, whey-faced quoting, best steer clear and go back to your humdrum existence, coward.
The interview with Danny Wallace is cracking too: "That dog had the longest snout in the world. It was like a leg." "Maybe that's why he died." "Maybe he was an anteater, and we were giving him dog food when we should have been giving him ants."

I bought this CD years ago and listened to it on a regular basis.
I already loved the Boosh and did'nt think they could get any funnier but then I discovered this CD and soon I looked forward to my 2 hours each way train journey each day just so I could listen to it again.
I'm now buying it again for the third time as everytime I lend it to someone I just end up never getting it back!
You don't need to be a fan of the Boosh to appreciate the genius of this CD so I'd recommend to any comedy fan to give it a go. You don't know what you're missing.

As far as I'm concerned this is the funniest thing around at the moment; the radio shows take you to a bizarre zoo based world where you enter the lives of Vince Noir (Rock and Roll Star) and Howard Moon (Who keeps being told by the Spirit of Jazz that he is 'The One'). Their boss is the insane Bob Fossil who runs the zoo whose main attraction is Bollo the nearly dead ape. Like most surreal comedy is difficult to explain in a way that does it justice but this really is an absolute must for all discerning comedy buffs.
