Despite reports in The Guardian that fans were left “bemused”, the organisers of The Mighty Boosh Festival have deemed it an overwhelming success.
It demonstrated a fantastic return to form from the ‘Godfather of Gigs’ Vince Power who masterminded the all-dayer for comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding.
The entertainment cocktail of comedy and music that took place last Saturday (July 5) was hampered by traffic problems which, we are reassured, are going to be looked at in the event of another Boosh Fest.
In an unexpected bout of blazing sun revellers plastered in face paint and fancy dress added a Boosh universe theme to the day.
Highlights included Ross Noble and Frankie Boyle’s ‘daft as’ sets in the rammed comedy tent and powerful performances from Robots in Disguise, White Denim, The Kills and the much-celebrated Gary Numan.
As the The Mighty Boosh Band took to the stage the site looked ready to explode with hundreds of sunburnt Bob Fossils and Nabos barging to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
So who went? Who enjoyed it? Who didn’t? Who was caught up in the traffic? Et cetera.
A success they say?
That would depend on whether you consider the Nazis siege on Leningrad to have been a success.
*Stalingrad
Please research your sarcastic historical based puns correctly
They tried to siege more than one city
whaaaa?
:P
EPIC FAIL
The Nazis didn't siege Stalingrad, they were BEsieged in it.
They did however besiege Leningrad for close to 2 years
...
Surely it was both - they attacked and lay siege to the place, then were the unfortunate victims of a Soviet counter attack at which point they were surrounded and themselves besieged.
I too, have watched Peep Show. And read a book.

Ha ha! Epic historical fail.
Na na na na Nah na!
"Epic historical fail"
I'm in stitches :D
How did an article about Boosh fest turn into a debate about which russian city the Nazis besieged?
Read the posts
above.
how many of you naysayers were actually there?
or are you just a bunch of tom meighan's?
His comments were amazing
'"I can't believe eveyone's saying Glastonbury was good it was rubbish", said Tom who neither performed nor atteneded the festival'
What, Stalingrad?
Couldn't make it, it clashed with Formbyfest.
The Migty Boosh
Is painfully unfunny, and Noel Fielding is a total cunt. That is all.
Since when has Peaches been German?
The fucking Sun.
Yep, living in Berlin does not equal being German
Don't these hacks have access to Wiki?
Clicked here hoping...
... it was deemed a success because the Boosh crew were killed by lightning.
Sadly not
Pantomime > Booshfest
Is everything but the first and last paragraph
copied and pasted from a press release?
It seems a bit strange in its tone...
^ this
Also, what were the problems supposed to be anyway? Just traffic issues?
just an overwhelming
number of tossers spouting quotes, they had to helicopter people out.
Zing
Ten points to Nitkowskied, exactly what I was thinking.
^ I was just about to post this.
and now I don't need to....
The term "Boosh Fest" is absolutely horrible.
I could imagine it being followed by "totally awesome" and I feel much worse.
I went it was a right laugh
I only got caught in traffic on the way out but that was only for about 40 odd mins.
The comedy tent was indeed awsome I haven't seen that many quality stand up acts in one place, act after act ever. Ross Nobel rocked it as did Robin Ince, Garth Merenghi... fuck it all of them did there wasnt really any bad ones on.
The music was lame but who goes to boosh fest not for the comedy...
Polar Bear where brilliant and played a set full of new tunes, there album is out in a few weeks I think. It will be a cracker.
The boosh them selves did an ace set of tunes they had obviously been practising they put on a great show.
There wasn't to many nobs their and the ones that tryed heckling comedians got propper taken down by them in hillarious style.
I wasn't expecting it to be as good it could have faild misrably but it didnt.
There wasn't to many nobs thei
aarrgh
Naboo*
Not Nabo, ya know.
powerful performance from Robots in Disguise?
words i never thought i'd read near each other
total
shit....noel fielding is just legs and hair and pointy boots....same as russell brand...and equally unfunny....a waste of time and money
I didn't go
but no event featuring Ross Noble can be regarded as a failure.
‘Godfather of Gigs’ Vince Power??
just no.
