A few days ago we revealed that Julian Barratt, Noel Fielding and Oliver Ralfe would all be appearing at the New York screenings of the Boosh Tour documentary, Journey of the Childmen.
Sadly none of the TVO team could make it to the event, but several of our regular peelers did! Leah has provided us with videos from the night and photos from her friend Tammy Courtney Clark, and another of our regular peelers, SashaM has very kindly sent us a report on the wondrous event.
To see and hear all from these friends of the Onion, keep on peeling…

It’s 1:55am, Sunday. I’m wired. A week’s worth of anticipation, combined with a few hours with The Boosh has ensured that my heart is still banging around in my chest, keeping me awake. I was lucky enough to get tickets to both showings of Journey of the Childmen at the 92nd Street Y in Tribeca. It’s a great, intimate venue. As I’m sure you all know, there had been rumors earlier in the week of the possibility of Noel and Julian making an appearance and I didn’t want to miss anything. As people were coming in, the movie screen was advertising, among other things, a Spice World sing-along, taking place there later in the month (I’m tempted). Bunny and the Bull will also be shown there on July 2nd. If you haven’t already seen it, I highly recommend it. And if you have seen it, it’ll be a good chance to meet some Boosh fans.
The evening began with an introduction by Cristina, who works at the 92nd St. Y and made the arrangements for Noel and Julian’s appearance, as well as the screening of the documentary. I swear to you, as soon as the phrase “…and then we will be joined by Noel and Julian” left her mouth, there was a (very audible) room-wide swoon. She then introduced director/producer/editor/musician Oliver Ralfe and the documentary began.
