The Velvet Voice of Julian

Julian talks about Noel, The Mighty Boosh, and baking on Virgin Radio UK. Give a listen here. 

More About GBBO

Right now everything is about Noel and The Great British Bake Off, of course. And there is so much of it, there is no way to keep up! This interview at RadioTimes was published before the first episode aired, but it's still a fun read that maybe demonstrates why I love Noel so much. 

JULIAN BARRATT ON MINDHORN | Filmmaking Insights | Watershed

Julian talks about making Mindhorn. Which is always fun.

More on Mindhorn

Another interview, this one at i-D. Julian talks about the film and how there is a little of himself in the script. And of course, at the end, he mentions Noel and the two of them making a film. I'm beginning to think that's all just a carrot the two of them swing around to keep us following!

Simon Farnaby & Julian Barratt Red Carpet Interview - BIFAs 2016

Julian and Simon talking about making Mindhorn, then they get interrupted and that's that!

The Best of Rich Fulcher

It's "Eleven Questions" with the A.V. Club. Yup, lots of questions and answers, and the best part is the videos that are everything Rich Fulcher. So, if you've got some time, give it a watch. 

Noel on Books

Read a little about Book Shambles  and then listen to Noel at Soundcloud [X]!

Noel Fielding Radio Interview with Graham Norton

October 29, 2011--Noel talks about Dr. Who, his art book, mention of his strip-search, capes, Luxury Comedy, and T-Rex. It's a fun interview. Give it a listen.

Beat About The Boosh

An article from the Scotsman back in 2006 after the second series. This interview is with both Noel and Julian and there's some early history, some 'what we're doing now', and some vague ideas of the future. (We still haven't seen that film, boys!) 

Noel, trying to describe The Mighty Boosh:

"It's a shoe that you wear on your head," offers Fielding. "It's like a complicated album. It's [Captain Beefheart's] Trout Mask Replica. Some jokes are just not funny at the time, they're funny 25 years later. We're mainstream in about ten years time. Hopefully in 40 years people will say, 'That was great!'"

The Power of Three

An article from The Velvet Onion posted in November of last year, it talks about "Evening" pre-America, when Tom was touring as part of the trio. This article centers around Tom and Mike, giving it a different perspective. It's interesting to see what other projects the two are involved in. 

The Weird Queen of British Comedy

Some Julia for our Saturday! She's at it again, this time with Camping. [X]

Noel Fielding Does America

So, I'm going back to An Evening With Noel Fielding. Again, there was just too much to get it posted and then there was Flowers, and I couldn't ignore it! So this article is from The Stranger [X]. Again, it's one of those "introductory" articles, aimed at an audience who doesn't know who Noel is. But the journalist did interview him (via telephone), so there is some quotes. Which is always welcome!

This Morning

Since I've been watching Flowers this week, (And Night Manager!) I've going to post this interview with Olivia and Julian. I think it's so Julian to let Olivia do most of the talking!

Gentle Julian

As part of Flowers publicity, Julian has done a whole slew of interviews (or what counts as a whole slew when it comes to him. Merely a handful when compared to when Noel is doing publicity!) Anyway, Flowers seems to be quite the success, and justly so. I've been watching it and it's brilliant. The writing is good, the filming is good, the casting is spot on, and the actors are all amazing.

Read it at The Guardian: 

“Depressive”, “intense” and “awkward” are the most common adjectives used by the press to describe the comedian, musician and actor Julian Barratt. But none of those words actually fits the sweetly shambling man I find having a pot of tea on his own in the Highgate pub near his home in London. Instead, the adjective that comes to my mind upon spotting him in his high-waisted cotton trousers, mismatched jacket and skew-whiff hair is “gentle”.

The Interro Bang

An interview that was done after the tour instead of during it, which is nice because we see Noel's reflections on it. He compares it to the European and Australian tours. And he likes us, he really likes us! My hope from the beginning was that we as a country would make a good impression, and it sounds like we did. So that's a relief. I know the venues were small, but I almost get the feeling he was surprised that they were all sold out.  He doesn't realize how dedicated his fans are, apparently!

The Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding in Studio Q

Interview in Toronto from a couple of weeks ago-- Topics-- playing arenas (the Boosh years) opposed to playing smaller venues. Growing up, how young parents and their taste in music influenced him, a Mighty Boosh Clip (bouncy bouncy crimp) "Where is Julian? he should be here." His and Julian's "break", why they worked as a double act, Luxury Comedy. Yeah, you have to listen to this.

The Weird World of Noel Fielding

Absolutely beautiful pictures accompany this interview in Interview Magazine. It's a nice article, some history--early stuff from when he was a kid and the early years of The Mighty Boosh that I've not read before. There is one place in the interview that I'm not sure if I'm reading it wrong or there is just a typo, but Noel is talking about Julian and it sounds like he's talking about Frankie Boyle. Anyway, give it a read.
