The Boosh Band Has Arrived!

• 20th Jun 2008

The comedy acts are in place, the bands have been booked, but as you would expect with the Boosh, there is a lot more to The Mighty Boosh Festival than meets the eye – this isn’t just another festival!

Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have put together a delectable day of comedy extravaganza and musical mayhem with The Boosh Band headlining the festival. This is a one off show that won’t be repeated, so make sure you get your tickets for the first ever, open air comedy festival.

All the usual Boosh characters will be present; Naboo, Bollo and Bob Fossil take to the stage with Howard and Vince. The Boosh Band will headline the Monkey Hell stage, giving us an eclectic mix of exclusive live music and specially written comedy material, including not too be missed, never to be witnessed again specials like a dance off between Har Mar Super Star and Bob Fossil, making this an extremely unique one off affair!

The festival will be spread across two stages, Monkey Hell, for the musicians, and the Velvet Onion which will be home to the comedians. Also on site will be Howard Moon’s Jazz Spectacle, face painting in Vince Noir’s Electro Tent, merchandise available at Nabootique, and a bouncy castle for the kids. Also if you come dressed as you favourite character you can text your photo in and it will appear on the massive stage screens, from which Noel and Julian will choose a winner. All this plus more at The Hop Farm on Saturday 5th July.

The Boosh boys have roped in a stellar support cast consisting of The Charlatans, Gary Numan, Jarvis Cocker, Har Mar Superstar, The Kills, Peaches, White Denim, Polar Bear, Robots In Disguise, with the Midfield General keeping the party going between bands in Monkey Hell.

Performing over at The Velvet Onion will be top notch comedians like, multi award-winning international cult comic Ross Noble, critically acclaimed Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle, plus Matt Holness (Garth Marenghi), Arj Barker, Mark Watson (If.Comedy Award WINNER), Perrier Award Nominee Tim Key, up and coming comedian Paul Sinha, Canadian comic Tony Law, Greg Fleet, Arnab Chanda, Josie Long (If.Comedy Award WINNER), Paul Foot and Robin Ince (The Book Club).

The Hop Farm is the perfect place this July to enjoy the spectacle – a live cacophony of comedy, accompanied by lashings of musical loveliness. Expect controlled chaos and organised confusion – a perfect summer feast of insane rock and roll!

Says Noel Fielding “We’ve got the band together and have written some special bits just for this festival. It should be a real laugh!!”
