Promotional poster for the 1999 show

Arctic Boosh was a 1999 stage show written and performed by Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, along with Rich Fulcher. It was the second incarnation of what would eventually become The Mighty Boosh . It was directed by Stewart Lee. ^[1]

Overview

In 1999, after having a residency at The Hen and Chickens Theatre in Islington, London, Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt and Rich Fulcher returned to the Edinburgh Festival with a new show, Arctic Boosh, ^[2] which sold out every night and was nominated for the Perrier Award.

Instead of featuring zookeepers like in The Mighty Boosh (1998 stage show) , the show featured Noel and Julian playing postmen. The plot of the show was loosely based around what would become the "Tundra" episode of The Mighty Boosh (TV series) .

This was the first time Dave Brown worked on a Boosh show playing a variety of characters, as well as acting as choreographer and photographer.
