The momentum is picking up on the pre-launch phase of Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy, so we thought it was a good time to give you an end-of-week round-up of what’s out there.
First up are the appetite-whetting trailers that have been peppered across E4′s schedule this week. So far there are four official executions available on youtube (which you can see below). There are number of shaky-handed unofficial ones too, but we reckon it’s best to wait and see them how they’re meant to be seen: all bright colours and vibrant silliness!
Next up is the Scottish listings mag, The List, which today published an interview with Noel and Luxury Comedy director, Nigel Coan, in which they talk about the show and his comedy in general. Noel provides an insight into one of the new characters from the series, Roy Firkin the chocolate finger: “After his wife’s died, he visits a prostitute and all he wants to do is cuddle. He takes his wedding photos with him. It’s so dark, but, at the same time, it’s a fucking chocolate finger. You have to suck people in with the reality of those emotions.” To read the interview in full click here.
A quick one for those of you who have so far failed to spot the launch date for the show: It’s 26th January (on e4)!!
Finally, many of you will have spotted that Noel has created a dedicated Twitter account for his Luxury Comedy twitterage. You can follow him at @luxurycomedy. So far he’s told us that he and Serge Pizzorno (Kasabian) have formed the band Loose Tapestries and an album cover has been shot. We reckon we’re going to be in for a treat with that one!
It goes without saying that we’ll be sniffing out all the latest news and information about the show as the promotional campaign steps up a gear (look out for billboard ads from next week and ads on Channel 4). We also have some exclusive TVO shiny nuggets to share with you soon!
So keep peeling to stay ahead of the crowd…
