The Mighty Boosh Live

Okay so this is the first time I went to see the mighty boosh live, but I did see the other on dvd and I have to say this one is much better! Personally I prefer getting something that you don't see on tv rather than you do if I want to see a storyline by them i'll go home and watch my dvd's thanks, I want to see some original things and it was original and generally funny, and by having banter and a storyline they tried to appeal to everyone and for me I thought they were amazing! And I don't think it could of been any better.

I went to see The Mighty Boosh Live 3 times and although they only changed a couple of small bits and pieces, i still laughed at all the jokes every time and i love the fact that it is now more music based as well as a "story". its an amazing show and i cant wait for the dvd.

Overall i absolutely loved it. theyve still got it after all these years :)

looove the boosh <3

This show felt like a bit of a mess - could have done with the lads going on an adventure (or a storyline) which is what bonds together all the silliness on the TV and in the last live show.The new direction of doing lots of songs grinds a bit too - while their song-writing is strong for a comedy duo I think they should be careful of believing their own hype and trying to be rock stars. I also found the crowd to be full of irritating morons - as the Boosh get more popular and their audience fills with simpletons I worry they will lose the surreal weirdness that makes them so funny.I still love em though.

So I was a little apprehensive when I read some of the reviews on here, but, do you know what? I thought it was really good. The first half was funnier than the second, but both were excellent. I read criticism of the music at the end, but I thought it was a really good note to end on. The set and props were very professional, and many aspects of the show were great. Personally, I wanted to see less of the Crack Fox as he creeps me out, and more of Naboo (not too sure about his attitude in the show). It would have been nice to see Old Gregg, but the rest of the characters were great. I really enjoyed myself!

The Boosh have missed some essential detailing and opportunities, throughout this show. I have been an enormous fan of theirs since they were on radio and for me, some of the magic had run flat... Character development, background and plot had been left in favour of headonism and rock politic. Where was Naboo gonna end up with his new-found bad-ass gangster attitude? Just how far did Howard's vision of the future go.. [careless whisper sax solo was priceless!]? Fossils' dance lesson was hilarious but the Euro character, appauling.

This is largely subjective I understand but this show was unfortunately drowned out inside the O2 arena, the screaming girls and catchphrase pop delivery. Where did the Boosh go inside their heads when they wrote this script.. to a festival field, to Nevermind the Buzzcocks clapper board, not the magical world of theatre...

It's an Ok show, not as good as last years and only for real Boosh fans with all the cameo's from old characters.

Most of it the banter is the best bit, not too sure about crack fox not one of my favourite characters. Vince is truley amazing and Howard is just Howard. All the characters tip up first half then the play in the 2nd half was fun as loved it. No Old Greg :( 2nd half play could of been longer. Bob Fossil very odd but funny all the same. Boosh fans it's fab. Other people you will just not have a clue watch dvd befor you go.

I went to the Plymouth show - first time I've seen the Boosh live, and I did think that the first half was very funny in places. It did get a bit 'catchphrase comedy' in places, but nevertheless, it was still very funny.

The 'serious' play in the second half I felt was in the main not very funny. The audience really seemed to zone out during it, apart from a few girls laughing at Vince's rather embarrassing 'chavese' Thai accent.

This play was the sort of thing that Howard would threaten to do in Series 1, but never actually be allowed to do. Now I think I can see why.

Others have said it better below - and yes, the 'slip-ups' were scripted. NF did also struggle with Tony Harrison's costume and yes, JB did lose his beard...

Good first half - a little embarrassing in the second. I'm sure they can do better.

I saw the exact same show as the comment below, Brighton on the 15th of November 2008. And yes, it was a great show. But like the other comments, for true Boosh fan's expecting anything that their last 2006 tour held, they will be more than a tad disappointed. There's no doubt that the show provided some rather humourous comments mixed with the general banter. But, as a fan of the show since the radio days (earlier times kids) I didn't feel the show had any of its classic plot line structure and was more of a montage of previous skits mixed up slightly for the stage and some pretty average attempts and new places for more adventurous characters.

Look, none of the negative views on this page are correct, i saw it in Brighton 15/11/08. If you are a true dedicated Boosh fan, you will love every minute of it, if you are not-just don't even read this review, in fact just stick to watching Mr Bean, or some other equivalent. The Boosh band was epic. Much better than when they appeared on Jonathan Ross. Who cares that the first half is just characters, if you want a story, go to the globe theater and indulge in some Shakespeare. Even the mistakes were good, with quickly thought of jokes, you can't go wrong. I will say one thing though, more Naboo is needed. But with a whole section based on Tony Harrison, The Hitcher, Bob fossil etc even the Moon. It was like a Boosh sketch show. Besides what kind of fan says that there a great fan but disliked the show?
