Book Reviews of The Mighty Boosh (Radio Collection)
Book Review: Boosh boosh stronger than a moose
Summary: 5 Stars
This is surreal British comedy at it's absolute best! Howard moon and Vince Noir are a pair of zookeepers. Howard is "a man of action" in his own words, a jazz maverick who spans the genres. He does novels, poetry, organises raffles etc. Howard on the other hand is a vain lad, who's hair is integral to the show. Though, as you can see on the CD cover, it is fantastic.
The pair work in a run down zoo with only a 100 year old ape, a rock named Jesus and Tony the prawn. The zoo is run by an angry American, Bob Fossil, who basically shouts at Howard and Vince and puts bra's on monkeys. But you need to hear the CD to understand all that.
The duo get into all kinds of shananagans, such as going to the Arctic, Being sentenced to death in a Jungle club and being trapped in a box by a cockney nutjob. All of which they come out of unscathed and with some hilarious outcome.
The series is full of songs such about cockney hitchikers with solo polo vision and "Little Johnny Frostbite". Plus hilarious one liners which have to be heard to be belived.
This CD is possibly the best thing I have heard in years, after hearing odd episodes on BBC radio during my mid teens, I'm totally hooked, The boosh Radio series is one of the best investments you can make. You can never seemingly grow tired of the boosh.
Though with all said, the humour is distinctivly British, with lots of refrences to Camden, Cockneys, Twix's and an array of all things British. If you're not a fan of other Brit comedys then perhaps it might not be for you. Though that shouldn't put you off sampling a piece of this delightful taste of contemparary British comedy. though the surreality might not be to everyones taste.
Fielding and Barratt make a fabulous double act, who if you allow into your life, will make it a better place.
A great idea and 2 wayward genius's = The fuynniest thing to come out of England in 10 years.
Summary of The Mighty Boosh (Radio Collection)
This work features the complete "BBC Radio 4" series from Perrier award-winning comedy duoJulian Barratt and Noel Fielding plus an exclusive interview with The Mighty Boosh. ú Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are The Mighty Boosh and together they write and star in their firstradio series which won the Douglas Adams Award for Innovative Comedy Writing. ú Here are all six episodes of the "BBC Radio 4" series, complete and uncut. ú 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. ú 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"Humor Books
