Julian: ''The thing is that we don't actually write a script. Everything we do has evolved out of weekly nights together at a comedy club in an upstairs room at a London pub, the Hen and Chickens at Highbury Corner. We each improvise individual sketches there, using theatrical techniques that we generally stumble across in our own shambolic fashion, and then we gradually cobble all the pieces together.
Cannot stop thinking about how insane it was for Noel to announce last night largely unprompted “after the Boosh fell apart Julian and I got divorced, we still see each other but we don’t have sex anymore” to a room full of people who mostly seemed to have only a vague understanding of what Boosh even is???
Also he would NOT stop bringing up Julian and how talented he is at any possible opportunity, and was constantly comparing people he’s worked with since then to Julian but made sure everyone knew that Julian was the best at whatever he was talking about (high/low status clown dynamics, comic timing, balanced writing, keeping scripts on track, overall double act chemistry, brainstorming wacky ideas, etc) I’m 😭
It's World Autism Awareness Day!! So everyone is required to pay attention to me and listen to me talk about my special interest. The mighty boosh / enything slightly related to noel fielding (don't worry, I love Julian just as much)
Did you know that the czech folk creature Vodník (Water Goblin) is actually similar to Old Gregg?
He can be a comical character in a green suit and red boots, or he can be a fucking scary monster who drags innocent women underwater and forces them into marriage (and murders their babies aaand others). And he collects souls in cute little silly chubby mugs and stores them in his underwater home. Likes to smoke his pipe in the willow tree by moonlight, is often associated with water fairies (or mermaids) and can be actually quite nice
A quick little sketchy and incredibly messy thing I did just for fun for anyone celebrating Walpurgis Night, Beltain, Filippo-Jacob Night, witch burning or whatever on this magical night!
