The Mighty Boosh--The Complete Radio Series 1

Welcome to one of the weirdest radio comedies you'll ever hear! Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are Vince and Howard, zookeepers in a magical and quirky zoo with very few animals, run by grumpy American Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher). The two British comedians/zookeepers endlessly riff on each other in an improv style, reeling from one random topic to another, such as jazz, rice, Isadora Duncan. The six half-hour episodes that make up the 2001 series (which won an award for comedy writing) begin with Howard and Vince apprehending a phantom that is stealing animals and ends with the pair transporting a poorly behaved prawn, picking up a hitchhiker, and finding themselves in the bizarre world of the "people of the box." Every episode features hilarious songs that are central to the comedy experience. A.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
