The Mighty Boosh Live (2006)

A Boosh live show featuring many of the characters from the bizarre TV Series. After much flaffing around during an extended introduction, ‘The Ruby of Kokundo’ story gets underway. It’s a bit of a mess structurally but has the same kind of avant-garde humour we've come to expect from the team. There’s some great sketches and some great gags, but unfortunately it all goes on much too long and the Bob Fossil character comes across as an arrogant prick instead of a selfish half-wit. It's as much miss as hit.
