The Mighty Boosh is a British cult comedy about two friends who go on surreal and magical adventures. The Mighty Boosh specializes in comic fantasy full of non-sequiturs and pop-cultural references. Episodes often feature elaborate musical numbers in a variety of genres, including electro (or new romantic music), heavy metal, funk, and rap, and there are many shorter songs throughout the shows.
Howard Moon (Julian Barratt): Self-proclaimed Jazz Maverick and would-be novelist, musician, photographer, explorer, cream poet, athlete, porpoise jockey, rider of the penny farthing, stamp collector, and fisherman.
Vince Noir (Noel Fielding): Self-proclaimed "King of the Mods," "Goth Fairy,", "Electro Ponce", "The Shoreditch vampire" and "Camden leisure pirate" as well as fashion icon and would-be musician ("Vince Noir - rock 'n' roll super star!"). He can talk to animals, earning him the nickname "Mowgli in flares". Vince is Howard's best friend though the two often argue. He appears to get by on his looks, charm and style alone, and, unlike Howard, is extremely popular. He can be innocent and childlike, and has a profound love for Gary Numan, David Bowie and Mick Jagger. He was raised in the jungles of India by Bryan Ferry, something which he recalls in tales to Howard.
Aimee is especially entertained by the multiple song and dance numbers that appear in each show. She especially enjoys the way Vince Noir (the longer haired one) dances. She'll either act out her favorite dance moves or make me do them.
