Julian Barratt (born 4 May 1968) is an English comedian, musician, music producer and actor. Julian is best known for playing the character of Howard Moon in the cult comedy The Mighty Boosh.

His character has certain elements of Julian's own personality which have been exaggerated. Howard labels himself a "jazz maverick" and claims to be an intellectual with many talents, calling himself a 'man of action', but in reality he is unsuccessful in his literary and romantic ventures. He is unpopular with many of the characters, including Mrs. Gideon who always forgets his name, Bob Fossil who often uses Howard as a puppet for his bizarre schemes and Bollo who often says his name wrong or ignores him completely. In essence, he is the complete opposite of Vince Noir. Barratt is also an accomplished musician in a wide range of genres; he played guitar for Little Chief during their European tour, and claiming to be a jazz fusion fanatic, he was in a band called Groove Solution in the early 90s. He composes all of the music for The Mighty Boosh, helped by Dave Brown. The music included in the series is an eclectic range of genres including rap, heavy metal and psychedelic rock. [edit] Other television Apart from his work on The Mighty Boosh, Barratt has had parts in other dramas, particularly Channel 4's slightly offbeat comedy programmes, often alongside Noel Fielding. He co-starred as Dan Ashcroft, a frustrated magazine writer, in the Channel 4 media satire, Nathan Barley. He appeared in the surreal black comedy series Asylum alongside Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson (writers and stars of Spaced). The character of Brian Topp in Spaced was written for Julian but the part eventually went to Mark Heap. He also appeared in the infamous "Freelance Scientist" commercial for Metz alcopop.[1] He appeared as The Padre in the spoof horror series "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace". He also starred in and was a writer for the 1998 sketch show Unnatural Acts. Before this Barratt was involved in TV show The Pod with friend Tim Hope about a fictional techno band called The Pod. The show was unusual as it was animated apart from the heads of Barratt and Hope. Julian has recently completed his directing debut for Warp films with theatre director Dan Jemmett. Curtains is set in a Norfolk seaside town, it is a dark comedy about a Punch and Judy man. The film was written by Barratt and Jemmett and will be released late summer 2008. [edit] Personal life Barratt is known to be media-shy, often quiet and self-deprecating during interviews.[2] Unlike his comedy partner Noel Fielding, he prefers not to appear in television comedy quiz shows saying he would 'rather be at home with a book.' He is in a long-term relationship with fellow comedian Julia Davis. She gave birth to twin boys, Walter and Arthur,[3] on June 25, 2007. Julian had to adopt his middle name Barratt as his professional last name to distinguish himself from an already well known reporter named Julian Pettifer.[4] [edit] Filmography * Curtains (2008) Short film - Writer & Director * The Mighty Boosh Movie (TBA) * The Mighty Boosh Live (2006) — Howard Moon * Benidorm (2007) ITV * Nathan Barley (2005) TV Series — Dan Ashcroft * AD/BC: A Rock Opera (2004) (TV) — Tony Iscariot * The Mighty Boosh (2004–present) TV Series — Howard Moon * Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004) TV Series — The Padre * The Principles of Lust (2003) — Phillip * The Reckoning (2003) — Gravedigger * How to Tell when a Relationship is Over (2003) — Him * Surrealisimo: The Trial of Salvador Dali (2002) — Rosey * Lucky Break (2001) — Paul Dean * Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (2001) (TV) — Himself * Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala (2000) (TV) — Himself * Sweet (film) (2000) — Stitch * Unnatural Acts (1998) — Various * The Pod (1997) — Julian * Asylum (1996) — Victor/Julian [edit] Awards * 2008 The Mighty Boosh won Best TV Show at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008. * 2007 The Mighty Boosh won Best TV Show the Shockwaves NME Awards 2007 * 2001 The Boosh, first on London Live, then on Radio 4. * 2000 Arctic Boosh won the Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival * 1999 Perrier nominee with Noel Fielding as Arctic Boosh * 1998 Perrier Best Newcomer winner with Noel Fielding as the double act The Mighty Boosh * 1995 Winner of BBC New Comedy Awards [edit] References 1. ^ Peter York on Ads: No 289: Metz In: The Independent (September 5, 1999) 2. ^ BBC - Comedy - People A-Z - Julian Barratt 3. ^ Raphael, Amy (2007-10-21).

The first episode of six weekly episodes was broadcast on 11 February 2005 on Channel 4. Described by his own creator as a 'meaningless strutting cadaver-in-waiting', the character originated on Charlie Brooker's TVGoHome – a website parodying television listings – as the focus of a fly-on-the-wall documentary called Cunt. After the cult success of TVGoHome, the name "Nathan Barley" was frequently used pejoratively towards those whose lifestyles were satirised by the series. Contents [hide] * 1 Plot * 2 Characters * 3 Promotion * 4 Cast * 5 Nathan Barley 2 * 6 References * 7 External links [edit] Plot Nathan Barley played by Nicholas Burns is a webmaster, guerrilla filmmaker, screenwriter, DJ and in his own words, a "self-facilitating media node". He is convinced he is the epitome of urban cool, and therefore secretly terrified he might not be, which is why he reads Sugar Ape magazine, his bible of cool. The magazine is an obvious parody of Vice Magazine and even has one issue called "The Vice Issue". In reality however his output is of no real interest to anyone but him and his immediate friends. The website consists of stupid pranks caught on camera, photos of him with attractive women and famous figures (some of them digitally edited to insert himself), and photos of him standing on street corners in major cities around the world. He is fully of the belief that because he has a camera, some knowledge of web publishing and a webspace, this he has a talent. The humour derives from the rapid rise of both the internet and digital television, and the assumption by publishers and broadcasters that almost any such work is worthy of attention. Barley and his peers are often hired ahead of actual journalists and talented writers trying to make intelligent points, such as the earnest documentary film maker Claire Ashcroft, and her brother Dan Ashcroft, a jaded and apathetic hack who, having written an article for Sugar Ape entitled "The Rise of the Idiots", is disgusted to find that "the idiots" in question – Nathan and his contemporaries – have adopted him as their spiritual leader, failing to see that they are the very people he was criticising. [edit] Characters The series features two other central characters, siblings Dan (Julian Barratt) and Claire Ashcroft. Dan – an instantly recognisable Brooker point-of-reference – dislikes everything Nathan Barley stands for, while Claire seeks to highlight the plight of the inner city's homeless and drug-dependent. Ironically, while Dan sees a clear distinction between himself and the "idiots", he's frequently forced to compromise his own ethics in order to earn a living, and seems to be fighting the dawning realisation that he may actually be the very thing he despises. At the same time, Claire, who clearly wants to see herself as socially responsible and philanthropic, ultimately only seeks to further her own career. This sets the scene for an unusually open-ended, and certainly introspective, satire-bordering-on-social-commentary. Other recurring characters include the staff at Dan Ashcroft's magazine, Sugar Ape, such as asinine chief editor Jonatton Yeah? (Charlie Condou), Ned Smanks (Richard Ayoade) and Rufus Onslatt (Spencer Brown), a pair of gormless graphics designers, Sasha the receptionist (one of the few non-'idiots' in the show), and the eccentric and ludicrous Doug Rocket, founder member of The Veryphonics (a parody of David A. Stewart of Eurythmics), played by comedian David Hoyle. Dan Ashcroft's flatmate is a DJ called 'Jones', who appears blissfully unaware of the antisocial cacophony he creates. Jones is played by Noel Fielding, Barratt's partner in comic duo The Mighty Boosh. [edit] Promotion A piece of Nathan's artwork. A piece of Nathan's artwork. Advertising for the series attracted some attention, with billboards advertising a fictitious yet almost plausible mobile telephone, the Wasp T12 Speechtool ("it's well weapon"), appearing throughout the UK. This device was advertised as being exceptionally loud, with several hugely annoying ringtones, a giant key for the number 5 (allegedly the most common number), a powerful projector, a business card printer and miniature turntables for scratching MP3s. It was also apparently "shark-proof". Barley's website, www.trashbat.co.ck, serves as an official site for the television series, and remains active as of August 2008. The DVD of the series was released in October 2005, featuring all six episodes, a host of extras (including the pilot) and a booklet written by Nathan featuring his 'artwork'. The artwork in question is largely in the style of prolific graffiti artist Banksy and the book could easily be mistaken for a book showcasing Banksy's work.

The new series will centre on Barley's new-found employment in a general "media-facilitation" role for a small East-London based terrorist organisation.[3][4] Further evidence of another series has been given weight when Flak magazine reported that Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker were working around the scripts amongst other projects.[5]
