Day with The Boosh Boys Photos

Here are some photos from the day with The Boosh Boys photos of The Mighty Boosh Series 3 DVD signing at HVM (Oxford Street) on 04 Feb. 2008 that I promised you ages ago:

Also, Sarah and me are going to see them at The Mighty Boosh Live Stage Show on 12 December at the new Wembley Arena... HURRAH! I just cannot wait: IT IS GOING TO BE BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!

Comedy Night at the Royal Albert Hall

On 9 April, me and Sarah went to the Royal Albert Hall for a comedy night. Proceeds went to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Unfortunately, my wheelchair broke down, so Sarah had to push me in manually, which was much faster than I usually go (only b/c my wheelchair hasn't been working lately not b/c of her driving, just wait until I get a new wheelchair... HA HA HA). Luckily we got in just as it was starting. It started well with Mr. Noel Fielding warming us up. The next act was bizarre. Noel came back and made us laugh loads, the next act (the guy who plays "Johnny Two Hats" in the first series of the Boosh), was hilarious. I remember Razorlight doing an acoustic performance at some point, which was very well received. Noel kept us laughing throughout. At the very end Julian came on with the Boosh Band. We were lucky enough to witness the first Boosh Band gig, which was amazing. At the end of it all, I wanted to go on all night. It was incredibly funny and hugely entertaining. Everyone (above 18) should definitely see Noel Fielding perform stand up live once in their life. I really he hope he comes out with a stand up DVD at some point.

Day with The Boosh Boys

Two Mondays ago something extraordinary happened to me and Sarah. Or rather we happened to something extraordinary. Thanks to beautiful Alexis, we found out that a certain Mr. Fielding and a distinguished Mr. Barratt would be languishing at the HMV on Oxford Street along with their shaman and gorilla. We got there late due to some serious wheelchair malfunctions and almost didn’t get to meet them because they were already midway in signing 300 copies of the series 3 DVD and we were told by the stroppy security man that it would be very hard to get them off the stage to meet us until the signing was done. At this point I was having trouble breathing. In any case, he settled me and Sarah right next to the Boosh. In order of those closest to us we had Bollo, then Naboo, then Julian, then Noel who looked as fabulous as always.

We stood there for a while feeling more and more anxious. Then suddenly this gorgeous PR woman stops and asks us if we’re okay. Sarah explains, and the woman is nice but reasserts that it would be difficult to get them off the stage. She disappears for a few minutes, comes back and asks Sarah the most unbelievable question:

“Is it okay if it’s only Noel?”

Sarah nods frantically, with big eyes, and squeaks something incoherent and starts to sway.

I start coughing.

Suddenly I see him leap of the stage and walk past the area we’re standing in. Out of nowhere he seems to appear in front of us. He says hello to me first. I say “Hi. How are you?” He says “Fine.” All this time, Sarah is presumably wetting herself. She finds her tongue and says “Sorry we’re late, his wheelchair broke today.”

Noel goes, “Oh no!!” with a grimace. Then Julian appears and Noel says to him, “His fucking wheelchair broke today!” I can’t remember what the reply was. Sarah has gone limp so Noel says, “Shall we take some pictures?” He said that we should take separate ones, but Sarah got confused and joined the three of us in our photo. Then they signed our copy of the DVD and Sarah managed to babble out a request for them to sign her white converse high-tops, which they both did, even though they we were being shouted at to get back on the stage. Sarah quickly gets another shot with Noel, her and me and then they disappear AFTER NOEL KISSES ME ON THE CHEEK and manages to get Sarah on the side of her nose. And then they’re gone.

We exchange hugs with the nice PR people and then stagger out like dazed drunkards, both deciding to never wash our faces again.

So…that was that.

Weekend of Films

Hello!

On the Saturday before last, we watched A Mighty Heart starting Angelina Jolie and some guy (both of whom were wonderful). The film was about the kidnapping and murder of WSJ journalist Daniel Pearl in Karachi by some absolute bastards. It tells the story from the perspective of his wife Marianne, who was pregnant at the time. Angelina plays Marianne beautifully. It was a very interesting film that was not as depressing as I was expecting, due to a solid performance from Angelina, and the whole cast really. I really liked Captain, and Marianne’s Indian friend. There were some warming scenes that lightened the mood periodically, and even though we all knew the outcome, there was still a good level of suspense. Highly recommended. Four stars from me.

On Sunday we watched Atonement starring James McAvoy and Keira Knightly. Set in the twenties-thirties, it is about the doomed love of Cecilia (Knightley) and Robbie (McAvoy). Knightley is not as annoying as normal, and McAvoy was thoroughly likable and just as good as he always is. The involvement of Cecilia’s younger sister Bryony is what complicates the affair. The film was a very unique film in that it was played out of sequence (not chronologically), which only added to the suspense. After watching Atonement, I want to buy a camcorder and make my own films because the cinematography was beautiful as was the storytelling. Another great film (though very sad). Four stars for this one too.

THIS IS SARAH: Hello Brother of Mine. Sorry for being so cranky about typing for you. I think it might make you feel a teensy bit better when you read this and realize that I’ve just bought us two tickets to see Noel Fielding and special guests perform some stand up comedy at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 9 April at 7:30pm. Proceeds go towards the Teenage Cancer Trust. Should be a good night during which I have no intention of throwing a spare pair of knickers at the stage. At all. You’re welcome, sugar.
