The Mighty Boosh- Future Sailors tour

The Mighty Boosh future sailors tour is basically the Boosh on tour with a lot more music and it's more unprofessional than if they were filming (in a good way). They interact with the audience and it's so full of life- You've got the 5 basic characters- Howard (Julian Barratt), Vince (Noel Fielding), Naboo (Mike Fielding), Bollo (Dave Brown) and Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher) but on this tour they bring a few special guests like the moon, the Hitcher, Tony Harrison and the crack fox and that's only in the first half!
In the second half Howard does a very 'serious' play about pollution but it's taken over by Vince and Bob Fossil playing two very unusual and funny characters- Sunflash and Booblay two futuristic freaks from the planet camden and the whole play has been an advertisement for one of Vince's favourite fashion designers Jean Claude Jaquettie. At the end of this they bring out the Boosh band who are all dressed up like killer nanas.
People kept wondering 'how can they do the boosh live? There's too much animation, it's too surreal to be on a stage' etc. but it happened and it was like a piece of art from a rainbow! Barratt and Fielding put so much into making this happen for their fans. There was a lot of music, a lot of jokes and a lot of surreal and weird stories! Fantastic.
One of my facebook friends Bethany Lucas says that the future sailors tour was 'AMAZING!' and twitter user @littlej_94 says 'the better of the two [live shows], although I do like how the first one had more of a story... I also love sunflash and the concert at the end' It's a shame that Barratt and Fielding won't be working together for a little while as they're both doing separate things but we hope to see more Boosh in the near future, maybe a Boosh film? Who knows.
