Career[edit]

The Mighty Boosh[edit]

Michael is best known for playing Naboo, the shaman on The Mighty Boosh, co-written by and co-starring his older brother, Noel Fielding. He became part of The Mighty Boosh when he accompanied Noel to a show in Australia. Michael's non-acting non-style gives the television series a distinctive feel of cynical indolence. Noel said on an interview with Jonathan Ross that the abstract name of the show came from one of Michael's arkies.[1]


He has currently followed in the footsteps of many comedians by pursuing his career in other mediums. Most recently he can be heard doing the voice over for the sponsors of "Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway"

Music[edit]

Michael appears in the video for "Rockall" by The Young Punx. [2]

Personal life[edit]

Michael is distinctive for his height. Whilst mocking Apple Inc.'s Get a Mac advertising campaign at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 by referring to Noel Fielding as "PC" and himself as "Mac", Julian Barratt referred to Mike as "ZX Spectrum". His girlfriend Vanessa starred as an extra in the Priest and the Beast episode of The Mighty Boosh, dancing behind Noel.
