The Mighty Boosh – London Wembley Arena

Although obviously a comedy tour, at times it felt like I was watching a cheesy (but very funny) musical instead. Classic characters such as The Hitcher performed a new, improved version of his infamous song. There was plenty of new material though including a solo from Howard, a rap from Naboo and an introduction of new, space age character ‘Sun Flash’ from Noel. Throughout each song it was clear Noel Fielding craved the attention of a rock star, taking his music performances quite seriously, dancing and all. The finale involved a medley of popular songs from the show, including ‘Charlie’ and Nanageddon’. As the audience poured forward to the front of the arena to catch a closer look at the Boosh Band, I began to feel the same buzz I would catch at a concert. The huge venue created an awesome, exciting atmosphere. The audience jumped and sang along in time with them, much to the Boosh’s excitement and surprise. Perhaps a Boosh Band tour will be next on the cards?
