Overview
In 1999, after having a residency at The Hen and Chickens Theatre in Islington , London, Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt and Rich Fulcher returned to the Edinburgh Festival with a new show, Arctic Boosh ,[ 2] which sold out every night and was nominated for the Perrier Award .
Instead of featuring zookeepers like in The Mighty Boosh (1998 stage show) , the show featured Noel and Julian playing postmen . The plot of the show was loosely based around what would become the "Tundra " episode of The Mighty Boosh (TV series) .
This was the first time Dave Brown worked on a Boosh show playing a variety of characters, as well as acting as choreographer and photographer.
