last night was AMAZING!
Noel Fielding and friends at the royal albert hall for teenage cancer trust![]()
As we got to ur seats the place was just starting to fill up ao we spent about 20 minutes people watching as everyone else sat in there seats. We noticed in one of the boxes right next to the stage was Mike Fielding! at least he was a dead ringer for him if he wasnt. Although we were sitting in the stalls opposite so couldnt see his face too well but I swear it was.
The night started with The Moon from the Boosh introducing the show, cant exactly remember what he said because I was a bit hyped up at this part and annoyed because the zoom on my camera was playing up.
The out came 'Noel' dressed in the Iconic Mirrorball suit, however it wasnt Noel but Tom Meeten, the guy who played 'Lance Dior', Vince's copier in 'The Power Of The Crimp' episode. He started talking to the crowd and introducing himself as Noel, then the real Noel Came on dressed in the original Mirrorball suit. The talked for a bit and Noel explained that he'd had his hair cut a month ago ect ect then 'Lance' dissapeared. Noel talked for about 10 mintues, comparing the audience to a guess who board and asking everyong with beards and glasses bend down. He compared all the people on the bill tonight as a 'freakshow' and then introduced his first guest.
This guy, who name i cannot remember, was not very funny at all. He was wearing a suit and a turban on his head. He then did the old joke of 'I dont know where my turban is' ect ect. not very funny at all. He finished up and then Noel came back on, out of the mirror ball and into a black vest top with red drainpipes.
Noel again spoke for a good 10 minutes and read out a letter Russell Brand had sent talking about how he coudlnt believe it as a year since they did it together, and how hes becoming a major star in hollywood. He then introduced the next guest who was Dan Clarke, and he was the guy who played 'Johnny Two-hats' in the 'Electro' episode.
Dan was really funny and got a cheer almost as big as thet one they had given for Noel when he left. His jokes were more observational stuff so you could relate to what he was saying easily.
Noel came back and again did a 10 minute skit, telling the audience about how his parents were hippies and their cat ate some acid and went mental, so they shut him in a sock drawer.
He introduced another guest who name I really cant remember, but he was dressed as a sterotypical australina with a cork hat and cargo wear. He said he was going to sing us a song about a time in the jungle. He had a guitar and started to sing about seeing a Dingo, when out came Tom Meeten again this time dressed in a black leotard and doing actions and noises to the song. This was actually quite amusing especially when the audience started to make the noises aswell.
They finished and Noel came back again, this time changed into black spotted drainpipes with a white vest top with faces on. After about 5 minutes he introduced another guest, whos name surprise surprise I cannot remember. This guy had written a horror story and was reading it, Some of the jokes he made were amusing but it did start to drag on a bit. After he left Noel came back to tell everyone it was the interval and he had a bis surprise for us in the second half.
The show started again with a video of some of the patients from the teenage cancer trust wards around the country, explaining what they ahd been through and how much TCT helped. They showed one person called alex talking and it said at the end that Alex had died not to long ater filming it. It showed how much of a good cause TCT really is.
Noel came back on and on stage were 2 microphones and 2 guitars. He said 'Ive got some very special friends to play for you now, please welcome RAZORLIGHT!'
I freaked out a bit because I used to have a major obsession with Razorlight! They did acoustic performances of 'America' and 'Fall to pieces'. They were amazing live and one of the best parts of the show.
Noel stayed on for most of the second half doing skits about prawns, moths, wolves, hedgehogs, 1 inch high policemen, and basically everything else and he was funny as always.
He then proceeded to explain how most people who 'do the Albert Hall' finish on a song so he wanted to do the same.
'But I need a band aswell, so can i please welcome onto the stage, a very very good friend of mine who plays a mean electris guitar, JULIAN BARRATT!!' I freaked out at this because I've never seen julian before! Noel also introduced two of other people who play in the 'boosh band' on the album theyre making at the moment. He said 'This is the first ever live play from the album, this is our first rock gig!' Then Dave Brown came out! again i freaked. And they both sung 'Nannageddon' from the Album theyre making. Then they sung 'Charlie come a Charlie come a bubblegum' and Rich Fulcher came out dressed as Bob Fossil!!
Noel told everyone this is the first boosh music gig ever! and we were all the first ones to see it!
after that they all left even thought the audience were begging them to stay, and the show finished [even though it had ran over an hour] with the moon again, talking about the other guy who went up to the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, called Micheal Collins. I recorded it on my phone and it went like this
'Neil Armstrong, he famous for walking on the moon
Buzz Aldrin, he famous for walking on the moon
But the third spaceman, hes called Micheal Collins, and no one really knows who he is,
So I would like to re-address the balance, and read a poem for Micheal Collins.
Micheal Collins! you had the stay in the rocket
Micheal Collins! you werent allowed out the rocket
Micheal Collins! you might aswell stayed at home
Micheal Collins! you wasted everybodies time
Micheal Collins! your not like Buzz Aldrin
Micheal Collins! your not like Neil Armstrong
Micheal Collins! your a fucking loser
You got all the way to the moon!
And you didnt even get out the vehicle!'
Probably the best stand up show I've ever seen.
And today is my birthday! 19!! I feel old.
Im out tonight celebrating and shall tell you all about it sooner or later
Sorry if the blog is way to long to read but its what happened![]()
