More Noel Fielding videos

Although primarily known as one half of The Boosh with Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding has also maintained an independent career as a stand-up.

He has appeared at Montreal's Just For Laughs festival in 1998, and made stand-up appearances on Channel 4 and Five before finding success with The Boosh.

The double-act made their debut at the 1998 Edinburgh and Sydney festivals, earning them the Perrier best newcomer award, and returned to Edinburgh in 1999, when they were nominated for the main award, 2000 and 2001. The 2000 show, Autoboosh, won the equivalent Barry award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

The Boosh was picked up by Radio4 in 2001 for a series which won the first and only Douglas Adams Award for Innovative Comedy Writing. The show transferred to BBC Three for two series in 2004 and 2005, giving them a cult success that enabled them to embark on a major nationwide tour in 2006.

For his solo work, he won the Time Out Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, while his first live solo show Voodoo Hedgehog was nominated for the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 2002.

His TV performances as an actor include The IT Crowd, Nathan Barley and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace – all for Channel 4.

I've seen his standup shows absolutely ruined by idiots in the crowd who are labouring under the misapprehension that they are funnier that him, or that he owes them something simply because they are hollering for catchphrases and punchlines. Which is a shame, because Noel has a wonderful amiable stage presence, and his elaborate flights of fancy are superbly constructed when not sabotaged by 'fans'. He deserves every success, but he doesn't deserve to be heckled by morons who are desperate for his attention.

I saw Noel a few years back at the Hen & Chickens, then at the Edinburgh Festival and more recently on the Mighty Boosh tour (twice)and the novelty of the duo never wears thin.. He (and Julian Barratt) are comedy geniuses, they are original and unique and Noel has the timing of a true comic great. There is no better comedy on offer at the moment I hope that their increasing and success of their recent tour forces the BBC to give the Boosh some better treatment for the third series. However I desperatly hope that they don't ruin it by making it to mainstream - because i think the world of Boosh is just great as it is.

One word… genius

Noel is a comic genius. His delivery has a boyish charm yet his timing is that of a true comic don. If you don't get it, them you might as weel sew up your eyelids and chop of your ears 'cause you'll never experience anything funnier in your life

Saw the Almighty Kickass Boosh last night in Bristol, my stomach still hurts from laughing so much! Noel and Julian are fantastic

Caught The Boosh in Newcastle last month and it was the tits. Noel and Julian's timing and handling of the crowd was the best I have ever seen. Stunning stuff.

Went to see The Boosh live at Hammersmith on Saturday . Had a great time and the live show was every bit as enjoyable as the tv series, in fact it was better. Nice to belly laugh consistently for a couple of hours, the comedy is nearer 'the mark' without the threat of TV censorship so I liked it all the more
