Summary

The Mighty Boosh is unlike any show you are ever likely to hear, and one that defies description; the closest you could get to the unique style of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding would be in the early days of Reeves and Mortimer, with their cardboard props and men with sticks.

But unlike Reeves and Mortimer, the Boosh zookeepers turned postmen Howard Moon (Julian) and Vince Noir (Noel), never leave their own world. The Mighty Boosh inhabits a universe entirely of its own.

Bonus:This audio programme also contains an interview with the creators Noel and Julian plus outtakes from the show.

Very Funny

If it's your sort of humour then you'll absolutely love it. Each episode from the BBC series is presented here with a short interview provided at the end, which explains just why 'Chapter 3' is so much longer than the others. It's fair to say a lot of the situations the characters experience was repeated for the first series of their TV show, but if anything the radio series is even more evocative as you are able to imagine the scenarios in your head. Very silly but with crisp sound and unique characters, it's sure to impress fans. If you don't like the comedy of the TV show though, then stay well away as this is more of the same!

Classic Boosh

How I miss these guys on the screen, how easy it is though to picture the characters acting out an audiobook, prepare for laughter.

Brilliant

There was so much variety in UK Humour in the 2000s.

Spaced, Look Around You, The Office, The Mighty Boosh, Peep Show, Armstrong and Miller, The League of Gentlemen, Little Britain. Julia Davies. Rob Brydon, Kevin Eldon and many more. In some ways this meant that some things were under appreciated as ultimately it was The Office and Little Britain that swept all all else away (at least at the time, posterity may see things differently, and I don't think anyone would have predicted from all of these shows that Ricky Gervais, Olivia Colman and Simon Pegg would emerge as the biggest global stars, although that is what happened).

These comedians all belonged to a generation that was born and grew up in the late 60s and early 70s. They somehow inhabit some of the craziness of that wild time with an exposure to a very varied diet of terrestrial TV that gave them an acute appreciation of genre. They are also of an age to have absorbed the ethos of Punk as children and the House and Rave scene as young adults. They are, in other words, unique and that is reflected nowhere better than in the surreal world of The Mighty Boosh that channels Holst's The Planets as effortlessly as references to Glam Rock and 1960s nature films.

One of the very best radio comedy series ever. Utterly of its own time, but that is not a criticism. A rich and absorbing listen.

MIGHTY!

You have to listen to this. It is so funny, hip, and down right odd. I've fallen in love with the world of the Mighty Boosh and hope you will too.

Perfect

If you're a fan of the series then you will love this. Great performances from the boosh as expected and a little interview at the end to top it off.

The Scenery is better in Your head!

The Boosh is like ... Sardines - you either love them or you hate them. I'm afraid I'm the former, so if you really don't like them, then this format probably won't convert you.

However, if you're into wordplay, verbal imagery & surreal comedy, then this is still the best place to hear them at their zenith.

Why? Several reasons.

First is that this is the First Boosh release. Hence it is fresh, creative & had not been done before. You may recognise some parts of it from the TV episodes (e.g. Howard Moon having one leg shorter than the other), but this is where they FIRST used this stuff, so it lacks the tongue-in-cheek nature of later repeats.

Second is that this format allows your imagination to go wild! Though the TV show is great, there is something even better when you concentrate on the words.
For instance, the line 'What is this voodoo? Black Milk? The Wet Jigsaw?' would be ignorable on TV, but here your brain generates an image which puts a different spin on it.

Third, and best of all, is Bob Fossil! Bob Fossil didn't do much in TV Series one and was killed off. But here he is fantastic! There's even a song about him, which is inexplicably missed out on TV (despite the fact that it is arguably the Boosh's greatest song).
And, some of his lines are amazing. When I'm stressed at work, I find one of his lines (said at exceedingly high volume) can always crack people up.
Which one? 'I need some drugs!'

Anyhow, my apologies if I seem over-enthusiastic, but I'm genuinely yet to find anything (on Amazon) as compelling & brilliant as the Mighty Boosh. And of all that they've done, this easily ranks as the best.

That said, feel free to take in other reviews for a balanced perspective.
If you still feel drawn to it afterwards then I promise you: you won't regret it.
