Noel Fielding (born 21 May 1973 in Westminster, London) is an English artist, comedian and actor. He is also known for his role as Vince Noir in The Mighty Boosh, which he also co-writes. He has recently won sexiest male of the year at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008.

His highly animated stand-up routine included surreal stories, characters and songs, much like his later work in The Mighty Boosh and other projects. The Mighty Boosh Main article: The Mighty Boosh Fielding is best known for playing the role of Vince Noir opposite Julian Barratt (Howard Moon) and his brother Michael Fielding (Naboo) in the cult comedy series The Mighty Boosh. Fielding met Julian Barratt when Julian was performing a gig - and Julian offered Noel a place to perform. Julian was impressed by Noel's skill (especially the joke about back to front rams legs which repeated about 100 times), and the two formed a partnership. They often compare their relationship to a marriage. His character is a kind, somewhat naive and loyal friend to Howard Moon. He can talk to animals, earning him the nickname "Mowgli in Flares". Vince has a 'run-between-the-train tracks' quality about him, giving him the ability to land on his head in the most easy of situations. He is largely popular with most of the other characters (and comically, almost all of the characters played by Rich Fulcher), much to the annoyance of Howard. Fielding trained as a visual artist and is responsible for much of Boosh's distinctive sets and characters, including the polo theme that occurs in many episodes (e.g. The Hitcher's eye, the background of the main titles, the Ape of Death's costume). Vince has a very feminine aspect to his attire, often being confused as Howard Moon's "wife" by supporting characters. This is due to his androgynous dress sense, which commonly includes lots of different coloured/print skinnies, boots with heels, a mirror-ball suit, faux-fur leopard skin jackets, sparkly accessories or clothes from high-street store Topshop. Other Outside of his work on The Mighty Boosh, Fielding has also had big parts in many of Channel 4's somewhat off beat comedy programmes, including Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd, AD/BC: A Rock Opera and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, more often than not appearing alongside Mighty Boosh partner Julian Barratt. He also appeared in 1998 sketch show Unnatural Acts. In February 2007, Fielding appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks as a panelist. Fielding has also made a short appearance in the film Plunkett & Macleane as a bystander to Robert Carlyle's scuffle in a brothel. He replaced Bill Bailey as team captain for three episodes in the Season 21 of Never Mind The Buzzcocks at Bill's request. Noel also achieved a record for the highest team score ever on the show. When Bill returned Presenter Simon Amstell made various jokes about Noel's departure. According to Neil Gaiman's blog, Fielding was scheduled to appear in the film Stardust, but had to drop out due to ill health[1]. Radio Fielding starred in the 2001 Mighty Boosh radio series as Vince Noir, and other characters. It was broadcast on BBC London Live. He also appeared on The Russell Brand Show on BBC Radio 2 on 26 May 2007 and 13 October 2007, and Team Disgusting's show on Life fm as a co-host for one episode along with fellow members of Team Disgusting Melvis and Birdy. In November 2007 a new series began on BBC Radio 2, Vic Reeves' House Arrest. Fielding stars in all six episodes as a local vagrant who knocks on Reeves' door once a week to ask for work.[2] His character is often given seemingly pointless tasks, such as building a galleon out of sausages, and is paid in small change. Music Fielding has appeared in several music videos, including Mint Royale's "Blue Song", alongside Julian Barratt and Nick Frost and Razorlight's "In the Morning". He also appeared in the music video for the Robots In Disguise song, Girl, alongside Chris Corner who is boyfriend to Sue Denim. Fielding is friends with the members of Razorlight, and involved them in the "The Priest and the Beast" episode of The Mighty Boosh. Fielding also appeared at one of their concerts, dressed as The Mighty Boosh character, The Hitcher, to introduce the band; This was not well received and he was heckled by several members of the audience. Noel has since decided that his request to appear ahead of the show was a mistake "I don't know what I was thinking, there were all these teenage girls excited to see Razorlight and there's this ponce dressed in green dancing round the stage like a plum, they didn't know what to make of it".[3] Fielding lent his voice to the Midfield General song "Midfielding". Fielding also sometimes slaps bass for IAMX. He has also been known to DJ, often playing at The Barfly in London with the rest of The Mighty Boosh or with his DJ collective known as Team Disgusting along with six girls and the Rev from Towers of London. Goth Detectives In December 2006, Fielding appeared alongside Russell Brand in the yearly panel show The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, hosted by Jimmy Carr. The pair won with 39 points thanks to the 22 points they got for one question (a joke that Carr offered, assuming that they would not know). Due to much joking on the show, involving Bob Skeleton ("Indie Detective"), which led to Fielding and Brand describing a fictional scenario in which they were "Goth Detectives", this led to the decision to perform a Goth Detectives themed show for the Teenage Cancer Trust event at the Royal Albert Hall on 28 March 2007. On a broadcast of Russell Brand's Radio 2 show, the pair admitted that they were going to appear in the 2007 version of the Big Fat Quiz of the Year in a bid to defend their title. However, that year, they placed last and were not awarded a large amount of points like they were the previous year. Art Fielding was training at art college before going into comedy. He returned to art and had his first exhibition, titled Psychedelic Dreams of the Jelly Fox at the Gallery Maison Bertaux in Soho, London in 2008. The exhibition runs to early April. He has claimed that he gets inspiration from Henri Rousseau, Rene Magritte, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein and Dexter Dalwood. Personal life Fielding currently resides in Camden, London with his long-term girlfriend, Robots In Disguise's Dee Plume. Fielding's parents are named Diane and Ray Fielding. His brother is Michael Fielding, who appears as Naboo on The Mighty Boosh. He also revealed on Russell Brand's radio show (13 October 2007) that he has a French grandmother. He was educated at Croydon Art College and Buckingham Chilterns University College.[4] In recent years he has become something of a regular on the London celebrity social scene, often photographed out and about at gigs, clubs, pubs and events with various celebrity friends: his Mighty Boosh co-stars, actor Rhys Ifans, members of Razorlight, The Horrors, Robots In Disguise, IAMX, Kasabian, Dirty Pretty Things, and Courtney Love. Fielding has stated that he has no middle name, was never baptised and does not follow a religion.[5] He has a penchant for celebrity clothing, wearing Johnny Depp's hat and Freddie Mercury's coat during the filming of The Mighty Boosh. He was also given the awards for Sexiest Man and Best Dressed at the NME Awards 2008, and was nominated for Hero Of The Year but lost out to Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty. Nathan Barley is a Channel 4 sitcom written by Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris, starring Nicholas Burns, Julian Barratt and Claire Keelan, which follows the exploits of a loathsome, fictional twenty-something Hoxton, London media type. 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.

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.
