About this show

If you like your comedy on the crazy side, sit back and suspend your disbelief, as vain jazzman Howard Moon and 1960s throwback Vince Noir take your mind on a journey through time and space. In this bizarre and hilarious comedy adventure, our two heroes travel from the Zooniverse to the Arctic Tundra, get kidnapped by the mythical Yeti, battle the merman of the Black Lake, and unite to defeat a band of copycats - the wholly unoriginal Flighty Zeus! With reality-stretching plots, musical interludes and animated sequences, The Mighty Boosh takes the British tradition of surreal comic shenanigans to an entirely new level.

The Mighty Boosh is absolutely amazing. Couldn't fault it, never fails to make me laugh. Howard being morbid and Vince being the "free spirit" both characters are hilarious but Old Gregg is outstanding

A real grower. May take a few episodes to get it but you get a lot more back on your investment in time and space with these guys. Stands up and stands out as comedy gold. 5 stars++

Probably the best comedy that I've ever seen, the whacky side is what makes this show special. Perfect for anyone that likes a good laugh and very re-watchable. 11/10-would recommend
