The Mighty Boosh

Watching this, I don't know if you saw this before it left the West End, but I was reminded of The Woman in Black, which is two blokes around a wooden box telling a supernatural tale.

We describe this play in our press release as the woman in black performed by the Mighty Boosh is kind of the vibe we were going for.

We've been talking a bit about Monty Python, about Toast of London and Matt Berry and the artistic director of the cockpit, Dave Weibrow, who offered us the opportunity to come here as part of the Stephen Joseph transfer.

He compared it to Round the Horn.

The thing to do was like this effortless...

And it was also Mighty Boosh as well.

Just you'd come on stage and you were too cool and you kind of were above it or like removed from it and the audience came to you.

And I remember just being like, oh, that's what's good.

It's like, I don't know, it just never seemed like something I could do.

One thing that I really liked when I was 18, there was a show called The Mighty Boosh.

Oh, come on.

That I was a big fan of.

So...

Indro, so C.H. Fandango, who does actually sound like a character, who sounds like Bainbridge's mate in A Mighty Boosh, says, where did you get the medal? Did you buy the medal, Pete? Amazon.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

That was last week.

And I thought an interesting way to review this could be let's like watch the first episode and then see if we want to watch another one.

and then see if we want to watch another one and if we get through all six then it was a good show and if we don't then you know i guess we'll decide at that point how we felt about it but all i'll just tell you like the little bit that i know about it which is almost nothing is that uh these two guys in snuffbox i do know the two actors matt berry and rich fulcher are their names and they met on the show the mighty boosh which we watched before do you remember that show where the two guys were trapped on the deserted island with the coconut man

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

He's very super expressive.

So you might recognize him.

But basically these two guys met on the Mighty Boosh show and then they managed to talk the BBC into giving them this show that ran for six episodes.

And yeah, I'm just seeing here.

You're just picturing.

I feel like it was a bit really quite serious and then there was these moments of… The old Greg episode from Mighty Boosh.

But this is the other thing I like about this song, is that the old, like the, what's that, the Wellerman song? Have you heard the Wellerman? No.

Do yourself a favour and have a look at it on YouTube.

Do you know what I mean? I didn't get it and now I do get it.

So do you, you know, someone that would be heavily influenced by that would be Mighty Boosh.

Do you get that now?

Yes.

Yeah, yeah,

yeah.

Oh, really? You can watch Mighty Boosh and appreciate it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

It actually reminded me of The Mighty Boosh or something like that, but then I was thinking The Boosh are better than this.

But there you go.

That's me.

Yeah.

And Sam, you're locking down with Naboo the Enigma from the Mighty Boosh.

That's it.

Absolutely.

We're locked in.

Yeah.

The Mighty Boosh.

The Mighty Boosh.
