The Mighty Boosh is a British comedy TV series conceived by Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding, and others. It blends comic fantasy with humor and pop-culture allusions. The episodes frequently include intricate musical performances spanning various genres like electro, heavy metal, funk, and rap. The show is credited with popularizing “crimping,” a style characterized by brief a cappella songs that appear throughout its three seasons. Julian Barratt is responsible for composing the show’s music, which he performs alongside Noel Fielding. Fielding also contributed by designing much of the show’s graphics and artwork.

The series features numerous animated segments, puppetry, and special effects. Barratt mentioned that he proposed to Fielding the concept of creating a show similar to The Goodies, envisioning it as a complete “world” rather than just a collection of sketches. Barratt and Fielding portray many of the recurring and guest characters themselves, while other roles are filled by fellow Boosh members Rich Fulcher, Dave Brown, and Michael Fielding.
