Noel Fielding (/ˈnəʊəl/; born 21 May 1973) is an English comedian and actor. He was part of The Mighty Boosh comedy troupe alongside Julian Barratt in the 2000s, and has been a co-presenter of The Great British Bake Off since 2017. He is known for his dark and surreal comedic style.
In the 1990s, Fielding began performing stand-up comedy and met Barratt on the comedy circuit. Together, they produced a 2001 radio series called The Boosh for BBC Radio London. This was followed by the television show The Mighty Boosh, which ran for three series on BBC Three from 2004 to 2007. The show generated a cult following and won a variety of awards.
During the 2000s, Fielding also had smaller roles in a number of comedy shows for Channel 4 including Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd, AD/BC: A Rock Opera, and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. After The Mighty Boosh, he wrote and starred in two series of a solo show for Channel 4 called Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, which ran between 2012 and 2014. He has also appeared as himself as a team captain on the BBC Two comedy panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, originally from 2009 to 2015, and again since 2021, and as a guest on Richard Ayoade's Travel Man series.
Fielding has also exhibited his paintings in London and collaborated with Fendi for their autumn/winter 2021 menswear collection. He is the founder of the band Loose Tapestries, which he formed with Kasabian guitarist Sergio Pizzorno.
Early life
[edit]Fielding was born in the Westminster area of London on 21 May 1973,[1] the son of Royal Mail manager Ray Fielding (born 1953) and Yvonne Fagan. He is of French descent through his grandmother.[2][3] On his upbringing Fielding commented in 2013 that "My dad was so young, you know when I was ten he was only 28, 29, so, thats mind blowing. When i was twenty he was only in his late thirties, he was my age now, so I've sought of had some brilliant years out of my mum and dad you know like, and also they were quite young and tolerant and easy going and up for doing stuff."[4] When Fielding was three years old, his father remarried, and Fielding was mostly raised by his grandmother. He describes his grandmother as someone he had a lot of respect for, saying "My grandma is really strong. I like strong women. That's what I respond to."[3] His father and stepmother Diane would later become more involved in parenting during Fielding's mother's illness in the 1980s. His mother had two more children before dying in 1990 aged 37 years old, from complications caused by liver damage.[5] His younger paternal half-brother, Michael, later played various characters in Fielding's television comedy shows, and his father and stepmother would also appear. Ray Fielding had several cameos as Chris de Burgh on The Mighty Boosh.
His comedic partner Julian Barratt described Fielding's upbringing as "feral" with Fielding also commenting that "I was like a feral child. I was like 'I'm not eating dinner.' 'Yeah whatever cook your own at midnight.' 'Mum it's midnight should i go to bed?' 'Wa, whatever you want to do.' It was quite bohemian... ...I think with my brother they were like... '...we probably shouldn't let him cook his own dinner of mash potato on toast at four in the morning. He's like six.' Yeah my mum 'n' dad were pretty liberal." [6]
Fielding has also commented that "My parents had lots of parties... ...They were hopelessly bohemian. ...They were just 18 when they had me." [7]and further that "I think they had a lot of parties when i was a kid.... ...I remember my mum and dad having parties where you know somone would turn up and bring the taxi driver in and he would stay for two days.... ...on the sofa."[6] and also that "...they would party through the night and he would have to step over the bodies of their sleeping friends en route to breakfast."[3]
At the age of 15, Fielding became a goth and had goth girlfriends. At this time he first tried using makeup and said he loved being dressed up by his girlfriends.[8]
Fielding studied art at Croydon School of Art,[9] and then from 1992 to 1995 he studied for a BA in Graphic Design and Advertising at Buckinghamshire College of Higher Education in High Wycombe,[9] graduating in 1995.[10] Whilst in High Wycombe he lived with friends and future collaborators Dave Brown and Nigel Coan.[11][9]
Career
[edit]Stand-up comedy
[edit]Fielding began performing stand up comedy when he graduated from art school in 1995[4] and in 2013 he commented "I went to art school and stuff and by the time I came out I started doing stand up. I spose I've probably been doing this now for about 17 years, 18 years... ...I've been doing it for a long time, me and Julian [Julian Barratt] were talking about it, it's weird. Thats why it's sort of hilaroious when, you know in a funny kind of way, you know, you spend twenty years of your life trying to make people laugh and it's quite a hard thing to do."[4]
In 1997 he first met Mighty Boosh collaborator Julian Barrett when they both appeared on the same comedy bill at a pub in north London. [12] On the day they met they both went back to Julian's place that night where Barret played music on his Akai sampler whilst Fielding used a ping-pong ball to make an eye patch. [12] They both liked the comedy of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer[12] and Fielding has commented that "I was sort of a bit more rock n roll and pop and he [Julian Barret] was a bit more jazz but then we sort of met in the middle with electro... but Julian was... I think he left univeristy to join a band, we were both in bands before we were in the Boosh, so we sort of came from that background. Lot of our friends were in bands."[6] Fielding and Barret became a comedy double act and began performing together on stage.[12]
In 2010, Fielding was supposed to perform a solo tour across the country. It was cancelled so he could concentrate on writing The Mighty Boosh film with Julian Barratt and creating an album. Fielding announced via Twitter that he was too busy to do the tour.[13] From 2014 to 2015 Fielding toured the UK and Australia with a new comedy show "An Evening With Noel Fielding" that included both stand up comedy and sketch comedy with brother Michael Fielding and long term collaborator Tom Meeten.[14]
Montreal's Just For Laughs comedy festival had to be moved online, during the COVID-19 Pandemic. On 20 October 2020 Fielding and Jimmy Carr live streamed a conversation, from their respective homes.[15]
The Mighty Boosh

In 1998 Fielding and Julian Barratt performed their new stage show "The Mighty Boosh" at the Edinburgh fringe festival and returned on two further occaisions to perform the shows "Arctic Boosh" (1999) and "Autoboosh" (2000). In 2001 The Mighty Boosh became a radio show on BBC London Live and in 2004 it became an 8 part TV show which aired on BBC Three with a second series airing in 2005. Fielding has commented that "I would love to do a Boosh film I really would. I hope we do cos I feel like thats what we started out wanting to do. We really wanted to do a film, really,... ...we wanted to do a film, and then we thought alright we'll do a live show. We didn't really know how to do a live show we thought we'd just learn, and then we sort of... ...we did a radio show, we did a TV show, we never quite got around to doing a film... ." [16] Fielding also commented in 2015 that the film was something he talked about writing with Barratt.[17]
After the second TV series in 2005 Fielding and Barratt went on tour in 2006 with a new theatre show "The Mighty Boosh Live". After the tour ended they then returned to TV in 2007 with the third series of The Mighty Boosh. Fielding has commented that "The touring lifestyle is quite hard... ...In the boosh tour we did a 100 day tour and we had one day off a week to travel and we were playing arenas and we partied every single night and we got up for sound check at six O'clock. So we were like Dracula. I was like Dracula. So I'd wake up at six, do a sound check, wake up, do the show, go to a party, stay up till five in the morning, sleep all day, every day for a hundred... ."[6] Fielding has further commented about the Mighty Boosh that "It was crazy cos we were just going.... ...it was never mean't to be, we were never mean't to be playing the O2 and Wembley and being on the cover of Time Out and... ...being on Jonathan Ross I dont think we ever thought that would happen... ...We always sort of just made it in our bedroom and then brought it out and stuff happened. We were as surprised as anyone when we won the Perrier and we were surprised when it got put on telly. We were like 'Wow this is great' we weren't ever sort of planning it. Like... ..we didn't even know if we could make a living from it." [16] From August 2008 to January 2009 they went on tour for a second time with a new stage show version of the Mighty Boosh.
The Mighty Boosh won the Shockwaves NME Best TV Award three times in 2007, 2008 and 2010.[18]
Television

At Bill Bailey's request, Fielding stood in as a team captain for three episodes during series 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.[19] 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, 2013, 2017, 2018 and 2019, with Richard Ayoade.[20][21][22]
In 2011, he took part in Catherine Tate's TV movie Laughing at the Noughties in which he and other British comedians discussed the comedy highlights of the noughties.[23]
Fielding produced his first solo series for Channel 4 network's E4 channel in 2011,[24] as the broadcaster invested an additional £5 million in its comedy budget following the cancellation of reality show Big Brother.[25] Fielding said of the project, tentatively titled Noel Fielding: Boopus: "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 Dalí made a show hopefully it would look like this."[24][26] The show began broadcasting in January 2012, titled Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. The show's second series, titled Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy 2: Tales From Painted Hawaii, was first broadcast on E4 in 2014.[27]
Also in 2011, Fielding performed Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" dance routine for Series 3 of Let's Dance for Comic Relief, and reached the grand final.[28][29]
In 2010 and 2014, he took part in Channel 4's Comedy Gala, a benefit show held in aid of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.[30]
In March 2017, it was revealed that Fielding would co-host the upcoming series of The Great British Bake Off alongside Sandi Toksvig.[31]
Fielding appeared as a contestant on Series 4 of the Dave comedy panel game Taskmaster in 2017, hosted by Greg Davies and Alex Horne: he was the overall series winner.[32][33]
In January 2018, he was a panellist on QI alongside Russell Brand and Aisling Bea.[34]
In 2024, Fielding will play as Dick Turpin in an upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin.[35][36]
Radio
[edit]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.[37]
Music
[edit]Fielding has appeared in several music videos, including Mint Royale's "Blue Song", alongside Julian Barratt, Nick Frost and Michael Smiley. The video was directed by Edgar Wright and served as the inspiration for the opening sequence of his film Baby Driver (2017).[38] 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". In 2009, Noel was involved in the Kasabian video "Vlad the Impaler", in which he plays the titular character,[39] and reprised the role at the 2014 Glastonbury Festival.[40]
The music video was directed by Richard Ayoade. He was referenced in Kasabian's "La Fée Verte", a track on their Velociraptor! album (his friend Sergio Pizzorno said "The line, 'I met Dalí in the street.' Dalí is Noel Fielding. And he is the modern-day Dalí"). Fielding also makes a brief appearance as Vlad in the video for another Kasabian song, "Re-Wired", riding a five-seater bicycle with the band, and appears as a patient in a psychiatric hospital in "You're In Love With a Psycho", in which he re-enacts the broken mirror routine from the Marx Brothers film Duck Soup with Pizzorno and Tom Meighan.[41] 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.[42]
Fielding paired up with Sergio Pizzorno (Kasabian) to form a band, Loose Tapestries, and released two albums and a Christmas single.[43][44]

He held his first exhibition, entitled Psychedelic Dreams of the Jelly Fox, at Maison Bertaux, a patisserie in Greek Street, Soho in early 2008. There Fielding listed some of his inspirations as Henri Rousseau, René Magritte, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, and Dexter Dalwood.[45] He has stated that he has been heavily influenced by the works of 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.[46]
On 6 September 2011, Fielding received an honorary master's degree from Buckinghamshire New University for his ongoing interest in the graphics area and support for many art organisations.[47]
In October 2011, Fielding released an art book called Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton, which he produced along with The Mighty Boosh cast member Dave Brown. It features many of his old and new paintings, drawings and photography.[48]
Fielding's video installation of The Jelly Fox was shown at the Saatchi Gallery, and in 2012 he created a unique piece inspired by The Beatles for Liverpool Love at the Museum of Liverpool. In March 2015, his exhibition He Wore Dreams Around Unkind Faces was shown at the Royal Albert Hall.[49] In January 2021, the luxury fashion house Fendi unveiled a collection featuring abstract takes on the brand's logo, created by Fielding.[50]
Personal life
[edit]Fielding was formerly in a relationship with Robots in Disguise lead vocalist Dee Plume, who made minor appearances in The Mighty Boosh and in its live adaptations.[3] He began dating radio DJ Lliana Bird sometime around 2010. They reside in the Highgate area of London. Their first child, a daughter named Dali (after artist Salvador Dalí), was born in 2018.[51][52] The couple's second daughter, Iggy (after Iggy Pop), was born in August 2020.[53]
During his time at art college, Fielding developed alcohol-induced hepatitis.[7][4] Nigel Coan, Fielding's friend and collaborator helped Fielding during this period[4] with Fielding saying that "...we were really good friends and he [Nigel Coan] got me through a lot of bad things. When I first left art college and I was a bit ill I actually got hepatitis and I was ill for a year, I was on the sofa for a year. I got quite depressed and he was the one who really helped me through that. We lived together in Hackney... ...With a lot... a lot of us, with Dave Brown and lots of people."[4] He stopped drinking alcohol for six months which led him to become teetotal for a couple of years. He said, "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. It's good actually. But what's quite good about drinking is that it gives you some mood swings. Breaks things up a bit. I have to replace that with exercise."[7]
Fielding was named one of GQ's 50 best dressed British men in 2015.[54]
