The Edinburgh Festival is now well under way, with a number of TVO regulars appearing amongst the hundreds of shows vying for your attention.
With the likes of Rachel Stubbings, Dave McNeill, Sarah Kendall, Paul Foot, Phil Whelans and Waen Shepherd all jumping around stages in the name of funny ha-ha, we urge any of you making a trek to the ‘Burgh to go and see these six wonderful people doing hilarious things for money.
But they are, of course, only a small part of the bigger picture. Here at Onion Towers, our remit is very clear cut – we’re here to bring you the news from the wider world of Booshdom. Our pages are brimming over with news about alumni of Ealing Live, veterans of the Boosh & Darkplace, and the frequent collaborators of these talents who make up the first and second waves of what has been dubbed New Wave Comedy.
But that doesn’t mean we get to cover everyone we like. There are lots of comics who make us all fall about in hysterics, and a lot of them could very easily find themselves on our pages more frequently if only they started working with our crowd a little more often. We love them, and Edinburgh gives us a rare chance to shout about them too… so we hope you’ll excuse us this little indulgence, if it helps you pick out a handful of extra shows to watch during the festival.

It’s almost time for The Edinburgh Fringe once more, and as ever, there’s a liberal sprinkling of TVO favourites heading up to Scotland throughout August.
The wonderful Rachel Stubbings makes her Edinburgh debut with Stubbing Out Problems, whilst David McNeill returns to the Fringe in spectacular form with his first solo show, Canoe Ride 3000 . They are joined by the mighty Sarah Kendall, whose show Get Up, Stand Up has been getting rave reviews – and the inimitable Paul Foot with his latest show, Kenny Larch Is Dead.
And that’s not all – with Pros From Dover genius Phil Whelans part of the line up for improvised celebrity chat show Monkey Toast and our beloved Waen Shepherd as part of an all star ensemble cast for tragi-comic play The Intervention, this looks set to be one hell of a Fringe for TVO.
The Festival also gives us a rare opportunity to break out of our remit a little, and highlight a number of shows from other comics we don’t often get to mention on our pages, if at all, with our own set of top picks for Edinburgh 2012, which we’ll be sharing with you later this week.
For now, though, stop staring at that bulky catalogue, wondering if you’re ever going to find the time to look through it, and let us summarise the great Oniony shows you can see if you like the type of comedy which brought you here in the first place. Enjoy – and if you do go along, why not tell us what you think of the shows by dropping us a line at submit@thevelvetonion.com?
Bad breath? Scared of clowns? Worried your ex is over you? I’m an online agony aunt phenomenon – I can help! I’ll probably help you with issues you didn’t even know you had…
Stubbing Out Problems marks Rachel Stubbing’s first full length foray into the Edinburgh Fringe, and as such, we at TVO are behind her all the way. Based upon the cult YouTube sensation which has featured all many of TVO faces, Stubbings debut is an assured slice of technologically enhanced guru mockery that’s more than worthy of your attention. After a storming set at The Velvet Onion Live back in May, Rachel has been finely tuning and honing her debut with a string of preview gigs, and now the star of Alice’s Wunderland and Jackal Films is ready and raring to go. You can see a sneak preview, featuring a cameo by Stephen Evans, right here…
We spoke to Stubbings to see if she had a message for the good people of the Onion, and she kindly provided us with a short but sweet response to you all…
“Oi, come check out my live healing skillz of which there are many, please?”
Come jeer at this feckless fool in his homemade canoe striving to answer questions he’s as yet unsure of … and to find the Chinese man who urinated through his letterbox at 1am two weeks ago.
Canoe Ride 3000 marks Dave McNeill’s first solo fringe show, having last appeared at the festival with Colin Hoult in madcap spy caper Zimbani - which later became a tv pilot featuring Julian Barratt, no less. His recent appearance at The Velvet Onion Live is just one brilliant moment in amongst his regular appearances on the London live circuit, and this magical flight of fancy is going to be an absolute corker.
We spoke to McNeill to see if he had a message for our readers, and he was keen to share his thoughts with you all…
“Dear peelers of The Velvet Onion! On the coming of August I shall be taking my Canoe 3000 to Edinburgh for a journey of discovery, of danger and to find possible answers relating to the man from China and why he urinated through my letter box a few weeks ago. Join me! A man can become fairly lonely all by himself in a canoe with nothing but the open sea and his thoughts.”
Perrier and Time Out London Comedy Award nominee Sarah Kendall returns with a blistering new hour of stand-up. The Sunday Times called it ‘Brilliant observational comedy’, and Chortle say it’s ‘A truly brilliant show. Got to be seen.’
She’s back! The powerhouse stand-up first came to TVO’s attention via her starring role in Beehive, but she’s been wowing crowds in the UK and her native Australia for many, many years. Kendall is a comic in her element – her confidence on stage allowing her to care not a jot about looking ridiculous, yet never descending into arrogance like so many observational comics tend to. She is crude but surrealistic, blunt but whimsical – and never gives less than her all. Not only firing on all cylinders as a comic, but nowadays as a mother too, Sarah’s latest show should appeal to anyone slightly naffed off at the world, but who is still in love with it all the same.
Deep within the sinking sands of the Perspex jungle of youth, in the forgotten nebula of nothingness, comes an objet du desir – a trombone fruit. Needless to say, it’s another warm year.
What can be said about Paul Foot’s unique brand of comedy that we haven’t already tried to articulate with our rave reviews over the past few years? Suffice to say, Noel Fielding was so taken by Foot’s charms, he directed his previous Edinburgh show Ash In The Attic, and propelled Paul into stardom with his guest slots on …Buzzcocks and Luxury Comedy. Paul Foot occupies a moment in the space time continuum so unlike any other comic before or since, and comedy fans tend to fall into two groups: those who have seen him work his magic on a room and have fallen in love with Foot’s ways, and those who haven’t.
Chicago, 2012. Zac is confronted by friends and family, trying to redeem him before it’s too late. As we delve deeper into his alcoholism, the more skeletons appear from the family cupboard’s dusty depths. A series of explosive revelations unravel the brutal truth behind the cycle of abuse. A father and son tale for the 21st century.
A fascinating looking show indeed, The Intervention is the brand new play from Fringe First Award 2011 winner Dave Florez, and features an all-star cast of top-notch comic talent, including the truly wonderful Waen Shepherd, Holy Flying Circus star Phil Nichol and Dead Boss regular Aisling Bea. For those wanting something a little different to the wall-to-wall standup and character comedy of our usual Fringe recommendations, this black comic drama has all the hallmarks of a classic in the making. Get in before anyone else does… this is one show that deserves a life beyond Edinburgh.
Six-time Canadian Comedy Award-winning shot hits Edinburgh! An all-star UK cast including Phil Whelans, Humphrey Ker, Sara Pascoe, Cariad Lloyd and Rob Broderick will create hilarious improvised scenes from onstage interviews with real celebrity guests.
One epic cast list of big names and up and coming stars join forces for this improvised chat show, featuring celebrity guests and such stuff of spontaneous chaos. Co-created by occasional Rich Fulcher collaborator and improv legend David Shore, this promises to be a late night treat whoever features. Pros From Dover’s Phil Whelans [who also appeared in Brass Eye and Katemodern] will be part of the madness between August 11th & 17th.
If you’re attending the Festival and manage to see any of these shows, why not send us a short review? Email us via submit@thevelvetonion.com to share your thoughts on the wonders of Edinburgh! Keep peeling to find out our top picks from beyond the Onion, later this week!
The delectably funny Paul Foot has announced a 29-date tour that will take in a host of locations across England (apologies to those of you who represent the wider British Isles and beyond).
Paul will be touring his 2012 Edinburgh show, Kenny Larch is Dead, which he’ll be performing during August atThe Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The tour kicks off on 18th October and runs through to 25th November. Given that the vast majority of his gigs are London-centric, this is a great opportunity to see him live if you’re based elsewhere. Paul Foot virgins, this is your time!
For a full list of dates and to book tickets, visit Paul’s Show Diary. There are a few Edinburgh preview shows available too (plus the Edinburgh run itself), so why not have a nosy around while you’re there?
Paul Foot and Russell Brand recently went on a fictional coach trip during one of Foot’s shows.
Russell Brand joined Foot at one of his Secret Shows for Foot’s Guild of Connoisseurs and played a part in a fictional episode of Celebrity Coach Trip. In the clip Foot takes on the role of Angela Lansbury while Brand plays the role of Paul himself. Each comedians’ unique style of stand-up comes through as they travel (through time and space) to Lourdes.
Watch the video below or on Youtube. So what do you reckon – have they managed to capture the essence of the characters they’re playing?
Paul Foot is the special guest comedian in this weeks Russell Howard’s Good News Extra.
This extended version of ‘Good News’ is on BBC3 at 9.15pm tonight, repeated at 1.15am and is already available on BBC iPlayer.
Don’t miss finding out what Shire Horses think of modern life, and things you can get up to in a fire engine, as well as the usual mix of strange news stories and special achievements.
Last month we invited you to vote for the topic that you’d like to see Paul Foot develop into a comedy routine. The vote winner has now been announced!
‘A discussion of the semi-disabled: one leg, one wheel, half gay golfer’ was the undisputed winner with 45% of the votes (double the number of votes for the runner up: ‘A recipe for crumbed melon, served front saddle to a wife who’s on the back buttocks’ – clearly an inferior subject matter).
You can watch a film of Paul performing the winning topic below. He promises that there will be a new vote commencing soon!
Foot Connoisseurs can also buy tickets to secret preview gigs for his new Edinburgh show Kenny Larch Is Dead. For more information join his Guild of Connoisseurs by visiting his lovely website.
First, he has added a new poll to his website, where he invites all of his “Connoisseurs” to vote for the topic that they would like him to make into a filmed performance. The choice is between:
The description of a sudden sporting release.
A recipe for crumbed melon, served front saddle to a wife who’s on the back buttocks.
A discussion of the semi-disabled: one leg, one wheel; half gay golfer.
An evening relaxing to the strain of a chalk choir.
To vote, check his website here. The poll is in the bottom left corner of the page, and voting closes on 27th April.
Next up for Foot fans is the new that you can see him live in May and June. He’s just announced four new warm-up gigs for his new Edinburgh show – but tickets are only available to members of Foot’s Guild of Connoisseurs. To join his Guild Lodge simply follow this link and sign up.
Finally, we at TVO congratulate Paul. His 2011 Edinburgh show Still Life has been nominated for a Barry Award. The Barry Award is an annual prize awarded to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s ‘Most Outstanding Festival Show’. Paul is up against Dave Gorman, Wil Anderson, Felicity Ward, and Tim Key. As The Mighty Boosh took home the prestigious award in 2000, the Barry Awards are closely tied in with the Booshniverse, and we all wish Paul the best of luck!
Last month we told you about a new vote-based competition on Paul Foot’s website. Fans were invited to nominate a topic for the comedian to build a performance around, which was then captured on video.
The winner has now been confirmed, performed and filmed! From a choice that also included: a description of a life-changing system whereby humans are interbred with giant squid, a ludicrous fantasy involving a sexually naive gymnastics expert facing a harsh lesson, a silly piece about a pet Brad Pitt ghost, and a childish expose of the lesbian militia – a sketch involving a Grandpa-Grapefruit-based rant won. Of course.
To can watch the winning entry below. Foot has promised further vote-based performances is due course; we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
To keep abreast of Paul Foot news, including his forthcoming secret Edinburgh Preview shows, visit his Guild.
The very wonderful Paul Foot has just launched a vote-based competition on his new website: visitors are invited to nominate a topic for the comedian to build a performance around, which will then be captured on video.

As we begin to round up our Luxury Comedy Takeover week, and put the finishing touches to our behind the scenes documentary, the worst kept secret in all of Booshdom has finally popped out today – Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy is to return next year.
Following ratings success and the majority of critics loving the show’s surreal aesthetic, E4 have ordered a second run for Noel & Nigel Coan’s madcap sketch show.
News outlets have started to pick up on the story, most notably DigitalSpy, who quoted Noel’s hopes to make the second series “more like a Wednesday morning”. We can’t wait.
Meanwhile you can continue to see the first run of episodes premièring on E4 every Thursday night at 10pm.
If you like new shiny things as much as we do, you will love Paul Foot‘s new website.
The comedian’s website has undergone a complete redesign and connoisseurs can now feast their eyes on a site that looks as whimsical as Foot’s comedy is. While the website still has the usual components and gives fans access to the tour schedule, press about Paul and the always appreciated merchandise shop, we can now also read about various characters made up by Mr. Foot himself.
Visit Skeleton Johnson, a figure who is half skeleton and half Mr. Johnson and a character that “used to be a brilliant graveyard jockey before he changed.” You can also pop by Penny’s page, Foot’s “bi-sexual hairdresser” who is in charge of the complete inventory of his comedy and who looks suspiciously like the man himself…
All that and more can be found over at the official Paul Foot website, where you also can gain entrance to the highly acclaimed Guild of Connoisseurs members only area (and get information about secret shows, videos and various super secret things!).
If you want even more Paul Foot goodies, take a look at his latest video. Foot turns to Food as he does a cookery video in which he prepares a dish called “Isle of White”. As the name suggests, the dish is white. See Foot in the kitchen and maybe get a little bit inspired yourself, all in the video below.
This week sees the launch of Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy, and naturally, TVO wanted to mark this occasion with a bang.
We’ve already given you exclusive preview images of the show, but now we can confirm our Luxury Comedy Takeover is officially underway!
Over the coming days, we’ll be bringing you exclusive interviews with the people behind the show, profiles on familiar faces, a review of tonight’s exclusive press-screening and that all important first episode and much more.
The biggest news of all is the ultimate secret we’ve been keeping since the summer – when The Velvet Onion visited the set of Luxury Comedy for two days armed with a hi-def video camera, a microphone and the best intentions to bring you a unique peek behind the scenes on the show.
Naturally, the main drive of behind-the-scenes features belong to our friend, Joey Page, who has been crafting his own short for the dvd release of the show later this year – and we’ll be bringing you more on that in due time. For now, though, we have our own exclusive and candid video interviews with Noel, Mike, Tom, Dave, Joey, Kim and Rich for you to savour – and whilst you wait for those to emerge in all their hi-def glory later this week, we’ll be whetting your appetites for the show itself every day until then.
So welcome to the takeover. The age of luxury is about to begin…
Paul Foot has just been confirmed as one of the comics at Just The Tonic’s improv night, Setlist, on 1st February. Foot will be joining fellow comedians Rich Hall and Rufus Hound (plus other guests to be announced) at the Forum in Nottingham.
At Setlist, the acts are handed an original, never-before-seen set list of topics, partially written by the audience. From this they create spontaneous, original stand-up on the spot. Each new set list is projected on screen, so the audience can get inside the minds of comedians to see how each crafts their own particular style of comedy. Richard Herring has described the nights as, “An idea of cruel and wonderful genius and a real test of a comic’s nerve and ability to bullshit.”
For details of other Paul Foot gigs over the next few weeks pay a visit to his show diary. There are a smattering of shows around the UK between now and mid-February, so catch him while you can!
The final months of 2011 were an exciting time for the Booshniverse. Join us for now for the final instalment of our four-part retrospective as we relive it all over again. . .
October began buzzing with Booshy delights. The month’s start saw previews for the upcoming 25th series of Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Meanwhile, Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher continued on their North American Snuff Box DVD tour in Canada, Los Angeles, and Fulcher in NYC.
While London Madcaps prepared to get their books scribbled by Noel Fielding and Dave Brown, the BBC were busy at work filming the Victorian spoof drama Bleak Old Shop of Stuff. The series, starring TVO regulars Katherine Parkinson and James Bachman, as well as Stephen Fry, is meant to start airing in the New Year. TheSightseers, the Alice Lowe/Steve Oram film collaboration was also underway by mid-October. For the nostalgic at heart, cult DJ extrodinaire Pogo released “Zoo Zoo”, a Mighty Boosh mash-up.
The first of four TVO Scribblings wristband competitions was announced, with peelers in London, and soon thereafter Edinburgh vying for guaranteed admission to meet the Shambletons. Psycho Delia mixed some tunes, and IAMX fans were pleased to see the band’s triumphant return to a London stage in one hell of a show! Friend of TVO, Hayden Black, saw Goodnight Burbank, his series that started as webisodes with cameos from the likes of Rich Fulcher and John Barrowman, make its North American televisual debut. Familiar face Alan Partridge, the infamous alter ego of Steve Coogan, announced his returning to both radio and TV.
Blackpool’s Comedy Carpet was unveiled, Booshy jaunts included! Lucky American peelers got the opportunity to catch the Matt Berry/Steve Agee film Angry White Men as it enjoyed a limited release in California and North Carolina. In yet another bout of nostalgia, Vlad the Impaler returned to the handlebars of Serge and the rest of Kasabian’s musical bicycle.
When you think of last summer, what do you think of? Rain? Rioting? Well don’t think about that – if your memory fails you, first have a look at our reviews of January to June, and then let’s take a look at what happened in the world of Booshdom from July to September, in Part 3 of our review of 2011...
2011 may have been a dreary and somewhat brief summer, but July kicked off with some magic as Dynamo showed off his skills to Noel Fielding, stunning him with a rogue deck of cards right in the palm of his hand!
The comedy world also saw acts big and small peeking out into the non-sunlight as they prepared for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! It was a busy month for comics, including Rich Fulcher who arranged warm ups left right and centre. As they all profusely scribbled down their work in the build-up to the festival, the musical Booshdom also picked up its pace. Robots In Disguise released their fourth album (funded by their fans!) Happiness vs Sadness. We were eager to listen to it ourselves and bring you a song-by-song evaluation of it.
IAMX were also in the midst of releasing their new single Bernadette and at the same time brought us two alternative versions of the music video – we would expect nothing less from perfectionist Chris Corner!
This summer was also a lucky time for the Velvet Onion in terms of tracking down some great talent. We attended a Q&A with the cast of How Not To Live Your Life, then Richard Ayoade also answered some of our questions following the release of Submarine. Then there was even more excitementwith the release of our chat with the delectableHot Brew!
Someone who’s also always up for a debate is Steve Coogan, who voiced his opinions on Newsnight this month regarding the recent closure of News Of The World!
So far our review of 2011 has covered January to March. Today we bring you the sequel: April to June. Aaaah, Springtime…the time of fresh starts and new beginnings! And it turned out to be a very busy time in the Booshniverse too!
April started with the news of Chris O’Dowd’s appearance in The Crimson Petal and The White, a Victorian drama adaptation miles away from The IT Crowd! It was a fantastic production with a great cast and Chris was excellent in it.
The London Comedy Writers Festival took place this month, with input from TVO favourites Alice Lowe, Jaqueline Wright and Colin Hoult. It was a very busy month for Alice, she starred in Tap at the Window, appeared with Antony Elvin at Popcorn Comedy, and had the pilot Alice’s Wunderland broadcast on BBC Radio 4. At the time we were lucky to bag an interview with her which you can read here. We also reviewed Jackal films 2010 calendar project.
Colin Hoult announced the second New Adventures show and Paul Foot was in Australia, tweeting as he went.
TVO enjoyed a bit of a spring clean itself in April with a revamp of the TVO Amazon store, making it even easier to cater for all your comedy needs!
If you’re a regular peeler of this here Onion it won’t have escaped your attention that we’re mere weeks away from a very exciting TV happening. Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy hits our screens on 26th January on E4 – this month!
For those of you who already know for certain that a tangible version of the show just has to grace your shelves you can pre-order the DVD now. It’s released on 19th March for £11.99, and you can pre-order it via The Velvet Onion’s Amazon store. As yet there’s no information about the Blu-ray release or the extras included on the DVD, but given Noel’s track record with Boosh DVD releases, it’s bound to be bursting with added bits & bobs.
Some of you may also have spotted that a series of brilliantly obtuse trailers advertising Luxury Comedy have started appearing on E4. As soon as we can get hold of official links to the trailers we’ll share them with you.
2011 was The Velvet Onion’s second year in operation, and whaddya know – it turned out to be quite an eventful one! If you’ve joined us more recently, or if you’ve lost a few brain cells over the festive period and can’t remember much before December, here’s Part 1 of our review of 2011 to bring you up to speed on the TVO events of the year:
The year started by looking backwards, with The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year sadly not quite taking retro to its logical conclusion, but reuniting Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade nonetheless. TVO were also feeling reflective, as we considered our first birthday! We interviewed James Pilkington, the director of early Boosh-starring short Sweet, about his latest feature.
On the live front Paul Foot & Colin Hoult were busy announcing send-offs for their 2010 Edinburgh shows, and Kim Noble was taking his hit show Kim Noble Must Dieto New York City.
For Noel & Julian, however, this was a period of new adventures – and the pair couldn’t have chosen more varied career paths if they tried. Noel’s appearance on Comic Relief’s supporting talent show Let’s Dance was announced, and while Boosh fandom debated exactly what he’d perform, Julian’s acting chops were about to be stretched as he began work on Treasure Island and was announced as the one of the lead roles in Government Inspector at The Young Vic.
February began on a sad note, with the passing of much loved actress Margaret John. Best known for her roles in Gavin & Stacey, Run Fatboy Run and Doctor Who, she was forever immortalised in Booshdom by her apperance as the wicked Nanatoo in the Nanageddon episode of The Mighty Boosh. She was 84.
On a more positive note, IAMX unleashed the first fruits of their latest album, and DeadDogInBlackBag returned to the London stage with a one-off gig, with TVO on hand to document proceedings. And whilst Matt Berry unleashed an x-rated iPhone app, the careers of his TVO cohorts couldn’t be more different – as a whole bevvy of names cropped up on CBBC throughout the month.
In other news this month, Chris Morris became a BAFTA winner, although champions of the passing-fad, the NME, decided Noel Fielding and Never Mind The Buzzcocksdidn’t deserve an award this year. The world of mainstream rnb seemed to disagree – in one of the weirdest stories we’ve come across for TVO, cyber-singer T-Pain sang an interpolation of the Boosh track Electroboy for Benny Benassi’s dancefloor hit, ‘Electroman‘. Somehow, it just about worked…
TVO took the time to speak to the fabulous Colin Hoult as he brought his 2010 Edinburgh Show, Enemy Of The World, to the Soho Theatre for a final hurrah, and we also interviewed Diva Zappa ahead of her exhibition at Maison Bertaux.
But February’s big interview came from Fielding himself – as we celebrated his appearance on Let’s Dance For Comic Relief with a two part interview about the show, and his career past, present and future. As Kate Bush, Noel whizzed around with startling precision to Wuthering Heights, sending fangirls across the land a-flutter – and he made it through to the final the following month..
The Velvet Onion are pleased to bring you our exclusive 2012 calendar!
We’ve been working with a number of our friends both in front of the camera and behind it, to bring you twelve great shots to print out and stick up on your wall between January 1st and December 31st.
With a fantastic new design from Velveteer Lauren “Lozzy” Taylor, inspired by the beautiful design work Peeler Kerrie Leisch provided for the site back in 2010, we really hope you like the results – which are available for a free download by clicking on the picture above!
Thank you to everyone involved, and to all of you – our dearest Peelers – for a truly fantastic 2011… here’s to another great year in the realm of the Onion!
Lucky Peelers who live in or near Leicester are in for a treat, with Rich Fulcher and Paul Foot appearing at Dave’s Comedy Festival between 3rd and 19th February 2012. The comedy festival has been running for 19 years and has seen many star names over the years.
The festivities start with a preview show on Friday 13th January, hosted by Tim Vine.
Rich will be sharing his Tiny Acts of Rebellion on the 8th and 9th February at 8pm at Dave’s Curry House. Also at 8pm on the 9th, Late Night Gimp Fight are at the Firebug, so you’ll have to catch Rich on 8th if you want to see them both!
Another TVO favourite, Paul Foot, is at The Crumblin Cookie on 17th and 18th, starting at 7pm.
If we hear that any more TVO-related acts are appearing you’ll be the first to know. To find out more about the festival and venues and to buy tickets, head on over to the festival site.
