Boosh no more?
Comedy duo The Mighty Boosh – Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt – are reportedly set to call time on their partnership after cultivating different interests.
Barratt is reportedly growing increasingly content with family life at home with partner Julia Davies and their twin sons, while Fielding has been enjoying a hectic social life, making it difficult for them to find the time to write together.
A source said: “The boys simply have different priorities now. Julian is in love with family life and sees a wild night out as a pint in his local pub.
“Noel still loves the party scene. He also wants to get out to the US where the ‘Boosh’ is a big hit on the Adult Swim network.
“Julian isn’t as excited and fans are running a sweepstake on the ‘The Mighty Boosh’ forum about him not showing up for their slot at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego on July 24 — which is sold out.
“Julian didn’t even attend the debut screening of Boosh guru Paul King’s new film ‘The Bunny And The Bull’ earlier this month, despite starring alongside Noel in it.
“Meanwhile, Noel is writing some of the best material of his career for The Big Chill festival in Herefordshire in August.”
Despite their reported differences, the pair are said to remain firm friends.
The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “They still love each other but have taken different paths and I can’t see where the Boosh can go now.”
