« Rock n Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary Concerts @ MSG? | Mercury Prize 2009 shortlist announced »

The creators of BBC comedy show The Mighty Boosh (now on Cartoon Network), Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, will be in NYC today (July 21st) for a 6pm signing at Other Music (15 E 4th St) and a Myspace Secret Stand-Up show at Bowery Ballroom. Their Myspace says that they'll be DJing at the Bowery, but considering the show's live-action start, you can probably expect a little more than your standard DJ set (other cast members, including Bollo, a talking gorilla, will be in tow as well) (oh, and the press release says it is a "Stand-Up performance") (a MySpace Secret Stand-Up actually) (though I guess technically DJ's stand up while playing.) (kidding).
What is the Mighty Boosh?
In "The Mighty Boosh," self-absorbed wannabe glam rocker Vince Noir (Fielding) and the intellectually vain and self-proclaimed genius and jazz aficionado Howard Moon (Barratt) are in a band and live alongside a freelance shaman, Naboo (Michael Fielding) and Bollo (David Brown), a talking Gorilla. Each season, The Mighty Boosh creates its own unique environment, taking place in a vast array of locales, including the "Zooniverse", the Frozen Tundra and the Australian desert. Each episode features an original Mighty Boosh song as Vince and Howard continue their never-ending search for the "new sound."They'll also be in LA next Tuesday, July 28th. Info on that with clips from the show, below...

Deirde I'm wondering same thing.
This is my favorite show. I have no idea if it's big in NYC. I know most people I know don't know it.
I'm thinking not all that early...

Any idea whether they'll be elsewhere in the states?

They're doing a few appearances in the USA, including a Q&A at Comic Con.
They're also going to be on Jimmy Fallon's show and they did a private myspace event at the Bowery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sc8SSU8wEE
You lucky American folks...!
