We're the future sailors

“The reason Luxury Comedy has taken so long is because I wanted it to be a complete world, like the Boosh. I didn’t want it to be just a sketch show. We wanted it to have a place, regular characters and a storyline – a sitcom element as well as sketches, music, animation. So it’s quite a big undertaking. I didn’t want to disappoint the fans, I wanted to do something as good as the Boosh but in a different way.”…Noel’s working relationship on Luxury Comedy with Nigel Coan echoes the one he shared with Dave Brown on his recent book. Like Dave, Nigel also went to art college with Noel, they shared a student house and worked together on the Boosh (Nigel’s responsible for animating the Moon). Noel’s professional admiration and personal affection for Nigel is obvious: “This is the first time someone’s been able to put the things I think completely on screen – it’s like being able to write for the first time with almost complete freedom. It’s more me, a slightly more direct vision because it’s much more free, I think, than the Boosh. The Boosh is more filmic, because Julian and Paul King are interested in films and narratives. This is more loose and psychedelic.”…Noel displays a mixture of palpable excitement and pride about Luxury Comedy (as it nears its final stages of post-production) and an understandable hint of trepidation about how it’s going to be received. It’s a massive investment for him, both emotionally and in terms of his time. With talk of a possible second series and even a live show, Luxury Comedy could occupy him for the foreseeable future.…Look out for part 2 of our exclusive interview when Noel talks about what’s happening with the Boosh, what he makes of twitter, appearing on Buzzcocks, and the state of British comedy. Plus why he might just be the Ambassador of the Freaks.

Cannot. Wait. For Luxury Comedy.
