The Mighty Boosh was a stage show written and performed by Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, who are also known as The Mighty Boosh. Michael Fielding, Rich Fulcher, and Dave Brown also appeared in the show. It toured from February 2006 to April 2006. [1]
The main story, "The Ruby of Kukundu" – in which Howard Moon (Barratt) and Vince Noir (N. Fielding) travel to the Arctic and Spain respectively in search of the mystical gem that can restore the life of their shaman friend, Naboo (M. Fielding), slain by The Hitcher (N. Fielding) – draws heavily upon the "Tundra" scenario used previously in the TV pilot, both the TV and radio series, and the Edinburgh show Arctic Boosh . There was also a cameo appearance by Matt Berry, reprising his role as Dixon Bainbridge. The stage show was later shown on television on Boxing Day 2007, and in December 2008, on BBC Three.

The Secret Policeman's Ball 2006 was a show staged as a benefit for human rights organization Amnesty International at London's Royal Albert Hall in October 2006. Its title was a conscious reprise of the title of the 1979 Amnesty benefit show that heralded the organization's breakthrough in public awareness and fundraising. The 1979 show The Secret Policeman's Ball, organised by John Cleese and producers Martin Lewis and Peter Walker, led to greater participation by comedians and rock musicians in further benefit shows for Amnesty and other social and political causes. It also led to the series of benefit shows that are informally known as The Secret Policeman's Balls.
