Noel Fielding (born 21 May 1973 in Westminster, London) is a British artist, comedian and actor. He is known for his roles as Vince Noir in ''The Mighty Boosh'', which he co-writes with comedy partner Julian Barratt, and as team captain on the music panel show ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks''.

Career

Stand-up comedy

Noel Fielding performed regularly as a stand-up comedian during the late 1990s, and appeared repeatedly on the television stand-up showcase Lee Mack's ''Gas''. His highly animated stand-up routine included surreal stories, physical comedy, characters, and songs, much like his later work in ''The Mighty Boosh''.

In 2010, Fielding was to perform a solo tour across the country. It was cancelled, however, so he could concentrate on writing ''The Mighty Boosh'' film and album with Barratt. Fielding told fans that he was too busy to do the tour via Twitter.

In 2010, Fielding took part in ''Channel 4's Comedy Gala'', a benefit show held in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and filmed live at the O2 Arena in London on 30 March.

The Mighty Boosh

Fielding is best known for playing the role of Vince Noir, a childlike eccentric, opposite Julian Barratt (Howard Moon) in the cult comedy series ''The Mighty Boosh''.

Fielding met Barratt when he was performing a gig. Impressed by Fielding's skill, Barratt offered him a place to perform, and the two went on to form a partnership. Barratt and Fielding are said to have compared their relationship to a marriage; the character of Vince Noir is a kind, somewhat naive and loyal friend to Howard Moon. Vince can talk to animals, earning him the nickname "Mowgli in Flares". Vince is vibrant and flamboyant, contrasting with his Howard, who is more like a "geography teacher from Leeds".

Fielding plays various supporting characters in the Mighty Boosh, including: Tony Harrison, a small pink head with tentacles and member of the shaman council; The Hitcher, a cockney hitch-hiker with a polo mint for an eye, who enjoys "cutting people up"; Spider Dijon, a bongoist in Rudi's band; and Old Gregg, a hermaphroditic merman obsessed with Baileys Irish Cream and watercolors, who is infatuated with Howard and possesses 'The Funk' (a living creature about the size of a medicine ball, but covered in purple teats, which leak funky goodness to help music careers).

''The Mighty Boosh'' won the Shockwaves NME Best TV Award for 3 consecutive years (2007, 2008, and 2009).

Television

Outside his work on ''The Mighty Boosh'', Fielding has also had bit parts in many of Channel 4's somewhat off-beat comedy programmes, including ''Nathan Barley'', ''The IT Crowd'', ''AD/BC: A Rock Opera'' and ''Garth Marenghi's Darkplace'', more often than not appearing alongside Julian Barratt. He also appeared in 1998 sketch show ''Unnatural Acts''. In February 2007, Fielding appeared on ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'' as a panelist, before going on to become a permanent team captain. Fielding also made a short appearance in the film ''Plunkett & Macleane'' as a bystander to Robert Carlyle's scuffle in a brothel. Fielding appeared on ''The Charlotte Church Show'' as a special guest.

At Bill Bailey's request, Fielding stood in as a team captain for three episodes during Season 21 of ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks''. He also achieved a record for the highest team score ever on the show. When Bailey returned, presenter Simon Amstell made various jokes about Fielding's departure. In 2009, Bailey left the show and Fielding became one of the regular team captains. According to Neil Gaiman's blog, Fielding was scheduled to appear in the film ''Stardust'', but had to drop out due to ill health. He won an award for the sexiest man in 2008. He also participated twice with Russell Brand in 2006 and 2007 on the annual quiz show ''The Big Fat Quiz of the Year''. He participated again in 2010 with Richard Ayoade, Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross, Michael McIntyre, and Ruth Jones. (Charlotte Church was scheduled to participate but she was unable to do so).

In 2008, Fielding appeared with comic partner Julian Barratt on ''Transmission''. As usual, he wore a somewhat flamboyant attire, this time featuring Cuban heels and polka dot trousers. He won Best Dressed Male at the Shockwaves NME Awards.

In 2009, he helped host ''Comic Relief Does Top of the Pops'' with Reggie Yates and Fearne Cotton.

Fielding played the role of "Marcus" in the series 3 of ''How Not to Live Your Life'', which was broadcast in November 2010.

Fielding will be producing his first solo series in 2011 for the Channel 4 network's E4 channel, as the broadcaster invests an additional £5 million in its comedy budget following the cancellation of reality show ''Big Brother''.

Provisionally titled ''Noel Fielding: Boopus'', Fielding said of the project: "I want to make something in the spirit of Spike Milligan or the Kenny Everett Show but using modern techniques. Blending filmed comedy with animation. Television needs a madman! I want the show to be psychedelic and beautiful but have charm and personality. If Dali made a show hopefully it would look like this."

A video shown to a select audience of C4 staff, producers, writers, performers and journalists showed the Boosh star as a stingray, discussing the recording of albums.

Fielding performed a dance to "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush for ''Let's Dance for Comic Relief'' reaching the finale. He has also appeared in a Kate Bush video for the remix version of "Deeper Understanding".

Radio

Fielding starred in the 2001 ''Mighty Boosh radio series'' as Vince Noir and other characters. It was broadcast on BBC London Live. He also appeared on ''The Russell Brand Show'' on BBC Radio 2 on 26 May 2007 and 13 October 2007, and Team Disgusting's show on Life fm as a co-host for one episode, along with fellow Team Disgusting members Melvis and Birdy.

In November 2007 Fielding starred in five episodes of BBC Radio 2 show ''Vic Reeves' House Arrest'' as a local vagrant who knocks on Reeves' door once a week to ask for work. His character is often given seemingly pointless tasks, such as building a galleon out of sausages, and is paid in small change.

Music

Fielding has appeared in several music videos, including Mint Royale's "Blue Song", alongside Julian Barratt, Nick Frost and Michael Smiley. He also made a brief appearance in the video for Razorlight's "In the Morning". He appeared in music videos for the Robots in Disguise songs "Girl" (alongside Chris Corner who was, at the time, boyfriend to Sue Denim), "The Tears", and "Turn It Up". Recently, Noel has been involved in the Kasabian video "Vlad the Impaler", in which he plays the titular character. He has also appeared in Kate Bush's music video "Deeper Understanding" as a means of thanks for the ''Let's Dance for Comic Relief'' performance.

Fielding is friends with the members of Razorlight, and involved them in the "Priest and the Beast" episode of ''The Mighty Boosh''. Fielding lent his voice to the Midfield General song "Midfielding". Fielding also sometimes plays bass live for Robots in Disguise. Furthermore, he has been known to DJ, often playing at The Barfly in London with the rest of The Mighty Boosh or with his DJ collective known as Team Disgusting, made up of six women and the Rev (formerly of Towers of London). Lately, he has being DJing with Dave Brown, who plays Bollo in ''The Mighty Boosh'', under the DJing phenomenon, the Doctor and the Pencil, who first appeared in the Boosh episode "The Chokes".

Art

He held his first exhibition, entitled ''Psychedelic Dreams of the Jelly Fox'' at Maison Bertaux, a patisserie in Greek Street, Soho in early 2008. He claimed that he was inspired by Henri Rousseau, René Magritte, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, and Dexter Dalwood. He has also revealed that he feels inspired by Salvador Dalí. A second exhibition entitled "Bryan Ferry vs the Jelly Fox" took place at Maison Bertaux, from 5 July 2010 through to 5 January 2011.

Personal life

Fielding resides in Highgate, North London. His parents are Diane and Ray Fielding, both of whom have appeared in ''Mighty Boosh'' episodes. His brother is Michael Fielding, who appears as Naboo the Enigma on the show. He also revealed on Russell Brand's radio show that his grandmother is French. According to an article in ''The Sunday Times'' he has said that his "parents had lots of parties" during his childhood. He has also stated that his parents "were just 18" when they had him.

Fielding was educated at Croydon Art College and Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College (now Buckinghamshire New University).

Fielding has stated that he has no middle name, was never baptised, and does not follow a religion. He has a penchant for celebrity clothing, claiming to have worn Johnny Depp's hat and Freddie Mercury's coat during the filming of ''The Mighty Boosh''.

His uncle (Dr Ford) also taught at KGGS.

Fielding has the benign liver condition Gilbert's Syndrome, and has commented that if he drinks too much alcohol, it gives him slight jaundice. It has been said by ''The Sunday Times'' that Fielding had hepatitis during his art college years. This forced him to not drink for six months which got him into the habit of not drinking for a couple of years. "I used to be able to enjoy myself with just nothing. I'd stay up till four in the morning, with everyone else being drunk. Just make a bit of effort and you can get used to it."

Noel was in a nine year long relationship with Robots in Disguise member Dee Plume. It ended in early 2009. He is now dating XFM London radio DJ Lliana Bird.

On 15 August 2009, Fielding revealed in an interview with ''News of the World'' that he had been taking drugs such as cocaine, ketamine, and MDMA over the past few years, caused by stress due to his increasing fame. However, he has now overcome these habits.

Manuel Göttsching (born September 9, 1952 in Berlin) is a German musician and composer.

As the leader of the group Ash Ra Tempel or Ashra, one of the most notable German groups of the 1970s and 80s, as well as a solo artist, he is one of the most important guitarists of the Kosmische Musik genre. He also participated in the Cosmic Jokers sessions. His style and technique influenced dozens of artists in the post-Eno ambient and New Age scenes in the 1980s and 1990s. His 1984 album ''E2-E4'' has also been influential in the development of house and electronic music in general.

In 2000 Göttsching and Klaus Schulze released a studio album and a live album as Ash Ra Tempel. The live album was recorded as part of the Cornucopea concerts organised by Julian Cope at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England.
