Customer Reviews

One for the already converted...
The trouble with all live comedy DVDs is that it will never be the same as being there. If you were one of the lucky ones who saw this show live last year, you might be interested in this as a souvenir (this was my excuse for buying it), otherwise you might be a bit mystified (see previous reviews). Probably the best way to watch this is a celebration of what was clearly a very enjoyable tour for Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett, and as a stop-gap while the boys get Series 3 up and running. Can't wait!

Pretty spot on
The Mighty Boosh was one of the most innovative sitcoms on TV and now it's one of the most innovative live acts. The jokes and references largely hit target and there is an impression that a large part of the show is improvised on the night.

My only criticism is that for me they spend too much time in front of the curtain. On TV this was a quick introduction, but here it is more like a full first act, and things only get going once the curtains open.

A warning to parents: whilst you can happily let the kids enjoy the TV series with you, they need to be safely out of the room for this; there's some very adult content.

Coming at you like a shark with knees.
"The Mighty Boosh". Just the title perks up my interest and tips me into fangirl heaven. A victim to the charm I may be, but there's no doubt that this live show is the best stand-up out there.

Tip for you all: before watching this - watch the TV series! Many jokes centre around characters' adventures in the show, and also play on existing jokes (such as Naboo's "turning my back on you now..."), so if you watch the live before, it'll be a pretty futile 2 hours of your life.

I find it amusing how Mr "Anti-social Socialist" (2 reviews down) completely slanders this DVD while obviously having no prior knowledge of the Boosh. What single person found that review helpful? Himself? "One has an air of pretending to pretend to be pretentious and the other giggles like an idiot with a tedious voice." - It's called 'being in character', or even better - 'acting'.

So get out there, watch the TV series, then buy the live - it will provide the most surreal hours of your life you will ever bear witness to.
