And what a great evening it was!
So, Noel Fielding (one half of the comedy due, The Mighty Boosh), has been in Australia with his stand-up comedy show. I attended his Brisbane show on Thursday night (May 7th). Oh, what a night!
You know what I love about Noel? He didn't just stand there and go on about his childhood, family and relationships (sorry other comedians). Noel does not equal average comedian. In fact, he was a bit weird, haha! But a good weird. No, weird isn't the right word. He was zany!
So what did he do? Well, he sang, he played characters from his TV show, Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy and even re-told a crazy dream about being a teabag. He also went on and on and on with this "chicken" joke, which I must admit, confused the hell out of me. I had no idea what was going on but I still found it hilarious. He also interacted with one of his TV characters, "the moon" and its alter ego, "the dark side of the moon" - all done with projection.
It was so cool when Noel's brother, Michael joined him on stage....dressed as a woman (I wish I could find a photo, DAMMIT). There was another dude but I had no idea who he was....awkward. Apparently 'other dude' is from Noel's new TV show. Anyway, the three guys created a love triangle story, with the "other man" actually dressed up as a triangle!
Hecklers! Always there to ruin the night. Why the hell do people insist on yelling out random crap in the middle of stand-up comedy? WHY! Are you trying to impress someone? Are you trying to put the comedian off? Or are you just being an ass? Anyway, the reason why doesn't really matter. What matters is that the comedians always seem to shut them down. Ahhh that's what I love about comedians, especially Noel (heckled so many times throughout the show). He always had some awesome comeback!
His show was everything I expected, and yet, nothing like what I expected. Good combo. Great night!
