[HostilePottery]

BIRDS AND TREES AND FLOWERS!!!!

[joeglassfield1]

THE GUITARIST IS BILL BAILEY!

[hannaelh]

He is GORGEOUS.

[musicofthesoul66]

Kentish Town, Kentish Town, yes.

Kentish Town, Kentish Town, no.

[ToxsickEntertainment]

Didn't laugh.

[brothermongrel]

[hamishtaylorlaw1234]

[RefusetoListen]

This is so hilarious, and SO odd.

[tbrowniscool]

ANYONE SEE BILL BAILEY AT THE END ON THE GUITAR LOL !

[Stoptwistingmymelon]

DADDY, MY MOUTH IS FULL OF STARS!

[SKILLWILL09]

if he won that was the worst show ever! boosh 4 ever though.

[wearethemutantrace1]

Ugh, I love him. His voice has NEVER changed.

[GrunGrauWeiss]

i kept expecting Noel to walk on at some point and tell him he's shit, but in a lovable way.

[frogsplayuke97]

he's insane. :')

[Fagottron]

What a nut case. Hahahah.

[Coweyy]

@Fagottron love your music!

[misspoofacey]

lol this stand up routine is from the year i was born!!

[ayarcamil36]

best introduction eveeeeeer!!!!!!!

[katietwotone]

hahahah...why is pretending to have tourettes?

[sofaleaver1]

Just watching this again...

[TheOzil55]

crazily cute. mmm...

[benwapples]

Is that Bill Bailey on the guitar???

[NickyLess]

@benwapples OMG! It must be, no-one elses hair hangs down like a shower curtain like that :)

(before anyone jumps on me for that comment, see Part Troll)

[benwapples]

Is that Bill Bailey on the guitar???

[eyemoeba]

like a time bomb waiting to go off.

[louphebe]

woah, whats wrong with him?

[starlollie]

@louphebe He needs Noel...or a Valium. lol

[starlollie]

Yeah now I get why Noel was such a little fan boy before they actually started hanging out.

[godkingRoss]

he looks like a chuffing smack head, bleeding loiner rat faced twat. i love him really... but not in a gay way.

[ebeneezzer]

What a load of fucking shite

[DannyEastes]

@ebeneezzer like your mouth

[ebeneezzer]

What awesome wit. Now I understand why you're a fan of this brand of "comedy"

[DannyEastes]

@ebeneezzer Who said I was a fan? In all honesty his standup stuff is a bit weak, but it doesn't mean you have to go badmouthing it.

[ebeneezzer]

If a standup comedian has a routine THAT shitty, it is absolutely my,and everyone else's right to badmouth it.

[therearenowordssleft]

@ebeneezzer bit ironic to get so irate over a bit of stand up comedy... sounds like you're a bit too serious to enjoy comedy in the first place, perhaps try the history channel? i hear there's a doco on bridges coming up, bridges old and bridges new, suspension bridges, solid bridges, long bridges, short bridges, golden gate bridge, sydney harbour bridge, swedish bridge, if you've read this far you're an idiot.

[ebeneezzer]

No, I just dislike shitty comedians.

[therearenowordssleft]

@ebeneezzer :'(

[blakesquakers]

@therearenowordssleft lololol

[NickyLess]

@ebeneezzer Oh grow up. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If you think you can do better, go do and achieve what Julian has.

[tomoze2]

DADDY MY MOUTH IS FULL OF STARS!

[Fagottron]

What a nut case. I love 'em.

[Rogga209]

@Fagottron lol agreed :D

[rickisendo]

Bill Bailey on guitar!

[godkingRoss]

@rickisendo oh, aye... is it really him or a freakish look-alike? 

[dotchoo]

um was this his persona then? cause it's really distracting. the change in pitch

[aceminator42]

no wayy 4:38. The cheeky badger himself; Bill Bailey!!

[No1mjfan88]

oh my god 0_0, he's so different, but still very funny :D.

[slurpeeday]

is that bill bailey on guitar?

[MrRyanRhymes]

oh, and check out my comedy trio, we have plenty of gigs coming up from now untill late November and beyond. Search for Found Objects Band in your YouTube search bar and our podcasts on iTunes. also, check out our website foundobjectsband.co.uk... thanking you kindly xXx

[mattmilhouse]

that's definitely Bill Bailey at the end!

[damnedcarrot]

Fuck he's awesome. And so damn insane in this routine.

[steveflashman]

Love this early stuff.... I wonder if Julian and Noel F had got together or knew each other at this point? 'Cos the approach is oddly similar....

Love The Boosh and Julian's gig on 'Nathan Barley'...

And for those who simply don't get it.... Why post unkind comments? (Go watch Michael McIntyre, you Tw*t!) I'm sure your rudeness simply makes Mr. Barratt seek solace in pretty females, uncut powder (Johnson's!!!!) and posher champagne... The poor unfortunate man..... x SF

[jafacake09]

this is when i was born, i still kind of fancy him.

[TheRandyChimp]

2:57

ITS TRYING TO GET ME!

[jonnyirwin666]

I'll have what he's having

[cidp012]

@chrisotherstuff i suppose some divine creature landed down from heaven and blessed you with the mother of all brains rendering you all-knowing and correct in all your verdicts and just to condemn fellow men unfunny and funny as if no such thing as an individual sense of humor existed. as if your comment had any resonance. if you have nothing nice to say, why say anything at all?

[MrRyanRhymes]

@cidp012 In essence, I agree with what you said but at the same time there are comedy awards with judges... Though there are funny moments in this video I don't think he's as funny as he is with Noel and vice/versa. If Bill Bailey was doing a set and not just playing with his band, my PERSONAL TASTE would have led me to vote for him... each to their own, eh? Give all comedians a grand I say

[chrisotherstuff]

A genuinely unfunny man. Do you remember when you'd seen something on TV at night when you were a kid, then everyone'd be repeating it the next morning in school, in a really unfunny way..? I reckon he watched Vic Reeves Big Night out the evening before. Painful to watch such a dignity stripping, cringe inducing unfunny routine. Note how nobody really actually laughs very loud. And how disappointed Barry Cryer looks. A modern version of the Emporer's New Clothes.

[damnedcarrot]

@chrisotherstuff Wow, living in your boring uncreative head must be a nightmare. Go watch some Akmed the Terrorist you very stupid man.

[chrisotherstuff]

@damnedcarrot How angry are you! Thought I was allowed to make a comment about the video, thought that was how this thing worked. I didn't realise it was for angry people to vent. May I suggest you consider losing your virginity and going outside in the fresh air to cheer yourself up.

OK, what to do next. Try to write something aggressive, demeaning and ultimately aggressive and cruel about me - over to damnedcarrot, ladies and gentlemen, the last word is his!!!!

[ElliottsFather]

@chrisotherstuff It appears that YouTube is ALL about angry people venting themselves. But take heart as most of these people are 14 year-olds with nothing better to do with their lives.

[olysses31]

... and Bill Bailey on guitar!

[chill579]

my god, hes mad

[Flikka22]

Hahahahaha he's really good at pretending (?) he has Tourette's. So insane.

[BananaAnna99]

Haha :D Thumbs up for The Mighty Boosh!

Julian kind of just stands making sounds...

[Tsugo582]

Haha Julian is legendary :)

[killapathy]

breathtaking. marvelous. he's so beautiful i want to punch myself in the face. look at his eyes, they are the best eyes i have ever seen. his shoes.. they are on his feet... genius... but seriously, what's with the mega crush circle jerk here? some teenage girls are strange...

[calumhm]

@killapathy

I know what you mean. I'm a matt berry and richard ayoade man myself, I don't see why people like Julian and the femeine guy (i forget his name) so much

[greedymuppet]

@calumhm I've actually never seen Julian's stand-up 'til now, and I'm not quite sure how to feel, but I've seen Noel Fielding (the femme man you describe) and he's quite creative. He's very clever and creative, winding through stories and whatnot. It's a bit refreshing to see something different. But, mainly I like the two not for stand-up but for what they've managed to do with the Mighty Boosh. That's like imagination fuel. And they both seem like really nice people most can relate to.

[xiocrafter]

Julien is such a fuckin funny cyborg cunt, Him and Noel Fielding are a comedy match made in heaven An Abbot and Costello of and for the mentally ill

[cidp012]

I love the GET OVER THERE he says as he's putting the micstand away

[11xxLilyxx11]

liked the duckwalk at 2:10

[cidp012]

i am painfully in love with him

[macca1139]

british comedy at its finest

[PetrolHead1227]

so he won it all

[Koga1167]

Julian is very breath taking here. *Sigh*

[kieran1z]

a. true. legend.

[hydey777]

oh wow, Bill Bailey was in the band

[Issphitikozs]

@hydey777 Good eye

[ShelbyGalaxy]

I fucking love Julian. He's a comedic genius.

[deppluver2008]

He's a bit scary...

[DarkAndMartyr]

congratulations, he deserved it.

[tryingtobeNaboo]

daddy my mouth is full of stars!

[metallicagal1]

i love u julian xx

i am a mighty boosh finatic

[ManusCelerDei]

@metallicagal1 fanatic

[notthatbasic]

What a handsome, awkward, comedic presence he is.

[Paullove89]

Is that Bill Bailey playing the guitarat the end!?

[ash1ketchups1]

he is SO handsome :D!!

...and FUNNY!!!

[TomSouthLondon]

waaaaaaaaay better than noel, tis is the guy with the true talent.

[phantomdoodler]

YES YES YES

[punkrooster1210]

because hes an actual standup comedian. noel just fucks about. Noel is better at the acting and scripted stuff tho

[channelyourvoice]

@TomSouthLondon

I have always thought that julian was teh funniest on the boosh. I think that Noel is a great character actor but juliam is a much better comedian. He is off the wall and technically brilliant whereas noel is just bizarre for the sake of being bizarre.

[lulucouture23]

shows true geniues of julian because he's quite reserved in real life and for him to act like that shows true talent

[DavidTennantObsesser]

It's hard to believe he's actually a very mellow and shy man lmfao.

[BlueRhondoalaJerkOff]

@DavidTennantObsesser i don't think it is bro. think how fast he's speaks. it reaks of nervousness

[IStehSHIT]

@DavidTennantObsesser thats not hard to beliveve he seams like a retard:(

[PaigeEvonne]

rofl.. he starts walkin off stage

[ryan20ryan]

sheffields better than leeds

[imacoolperson313]

This is so different than the image they present of him on The Mighty Boosh, I love both Julian and Howard :)

[FreakinSweet86]

Julian's from Leeds too, my neck of the words and also the true capital of the UK, y'see London is a decoy and I only know this information because it was accidentally beamed into my brain during a routine cat scan.

[oldgregg1234567]

is this guy high?

[stamboni316]

Bill Bailey on guitar!!!!!!!

His little head, nodding away... ;-)

[erinlobrien]

its so good how this is completely pointless and makes pretty much no sense but it is still absolutely hilarious and he makes alot of money from it.

he is a very clever man

[OldGreggMoon]

Heavens, this is great!!! Julian was brilliant already in 1995... He is a really good comedian, absolutely genius...

[TTBSFilms]

Its ridiculous how awesome this is NOW. And it was made in 1995!

[DrMolotov]

He's so awkwardly majestic.

[hunniimooree]

I LOVE HIM

[Reddavepirate]

Utterly brilliant. If jokes were bullets the audience would've been slaughtered in the first minute and a half.

[ScaryEdward]

BIRDS AND TREES AND FLOWERS !

[UniQueLyEviL]

He reminds me of Gambit in this video

[Chidzmitch]

is Bill Bailey playing guitar?!

[ZoraleePvP]

haha my thought excactly!

[apr5il]

i never knew he was so hyperactive. i love his joke at 1:22

[teaknees]

Kentish Town, Kentish Town, yeah!

Kentish Town, Kentish Town, nooo!

[missloss173]

lmao "My mouth is full of stars!" EPIC!

[beatyourheartout91]

also, I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN

[beatyourheartout91]

I like how they spell his name wrong at the beginning :P

[blackefron]

wow everyone looks so 90's!

[Theories9]

how fast does he talk? lol

absolutely fucking love him

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

ah you cant whack a phony awards ceremony. is there anything that isn't "award-winning" these days.

[ryko26]

Funny how he's now a bigger name than all of them...

[AbraCadaverArson]

I love him trying to sneak off the stage at the end

[BaronessStrange]

omg.....adorable!

[channelwilko]

any idea if the bbc commison he won turned into the original radio boosh series?

[moustachers]

@channelwilko yeah that's what I was wondering, whether the radio commission was used for the Boosh radio series... but there appears to be no documentation of what he did with it anywhere...

[ihab1000]

the tinnnnnyyyy eyeessss of a shru!

[NEWversionofOLDskool]

'Don't worry because there's always birds and trees and flowers!'

love him so much

i would have loved to see him live stand up

he's rather amazing

xx

[ashemsxx]

omgg he is hillarious!!!!

[mightybooshmakemelol]

Haha, i love how it's like he's constantly on acid or something.

He is amazing <3

[olaftheodor]

tourette's

[aimzsuth]

he doesnt have terrets does he?

[courselanguage]

boothby graffoe is awesome

[7lartceps]

Very funny ,I love his stream of consciousness stlye.

[moviepunk8217]

Julian! You are the line between crazy and genius! He's so unbelievably endearing. Who could blame Noel for loving Julian? Do you see him? Oh dear sweet Julian....I'm going to name my first born after you.

[PyromaniacMiia42]

What are these Wah wah pebbles of which he speaks?

[tygrl]

lol I want wa-wa pebbles to go with my lava lamp.

It's pedals, my friend.

[AbstraktTV09]

umm for guitar....

[ollierat9]

Watching this makes me wonder what sort of stand up he would have turned out to be if he had stayed solo.

[ruthsomething]

"if you ever do this, right, don't." ah man.

[annaisjesus]

HAHAAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

Ladies, Gents, Just over there if you need em. AHHAHAH

[ibanezjack]

bill bailey was on guitar!! XD

[torturechamber14]

OMFG!!! THAT IS HIM!

[RainbowSick]

i love julian barratt. hes so funny, and i have the weirdest crush on him :D

[darkestrose2005]

lol he's a great stand up xD noel said he was better lol but i still love noel's stand up xD

[somafree07]

I think the twitchiness was a foreshadowing of the lava lamp joke. His comedic mind is capable of such feats...

[helzbelzz]

he sounds so nothern here

[pixelina]

Did he suffer from sudden Tourette's or some severe tics back then or was all that twitching done on purpose? Or was he just extreeeeeemely nervous? It made me cringe. I think I prefer the much older, wiser and more mature (also the much, much more fun) Barratt.

[ohhxdahhling]

haha, it was part of the act. :]

[shralster]

You're not serious are you?

[pixelina]

Sure I'm serious. Are you?

[shralster]

C'mon, it's Julian Barratt! Look at his body of work and his consistently twisted sense of humour. Of course its part of the act...

[pixelina]

Well, to me an act made up of nervous twitching and stuttering half-jokes aren't that much to clap about. To be fair, I'm only really familiar with the Mighty-Boosh-and-around-then-J­B, but still... But maybe people thought this sort of thing was funny back then (and apparantely do now as well?). I'm just saying that this was not for me. And I'm aware that not everyone shares my opinion. I still love him though. He's brilliant... nowadays. ;P

[xmiztyx]

aww love it xx

[BambiVampire101]

hes crazy but amazing :)

[lexiLAWL]

aha, he looks adorable :L

[MowglyInFlares]

he was 27!! AHH! there is a 27 year age gap between us! such an age gap, i'll make it work :)

I love his twitchyness

[twoheadedboi]

i love this.

[shortarsejo]

Check out Asylum, he plays the artist called Victor. He co stars with Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson, Adam Bloom, and Victor Lovett.

[shortarsejo]

Sorry I mean Norman Lovett.. can't think today.

[BooshBiatch123]

i love the ..."im sorry ..but ive been seeing other audiences ....i didnt plan it , it just made me realize how much i love you"

haha

julian barratt is brilliant

[BooshBiatch123]

haha
