Time for the Intro Round! ;)

So I have been back on tumblr for something like two weeks now after darn near 10 year hiatus (back when my fandoms were AFI and MIW) and have reblogged content that is basically ancient, so thanks for putting up with that ;) but I haven't done a real intro yet so here we go...

My name is Becca, I'm actually 40 something. (I'm 8 years younger then Noel and I love that we are close in age lol) I live in the US in North Carolina with my IRL boyfriend and our cat Freya. I am on a long haitus from my job while I figure out my life. I want to write. So I am working on that.

So here's the "how I found the Boosh fandom" story: I really love to bake. It's one of my absolute passions in this world. Especially at Christmas time. And I had gone through ALL of the good American baking shows and needed more, so I remembered about that british one.....I will never forget it: I hit play, I saw the goth presenter and said out loud, pointing (very much like that Leo meme) "is that Noel Fielding?!" and then was like "OMG that's totes Noel Fielding!" because I absolutely did already know about his existence FROM the Boosh from years ago but never got to watch it. I'm pretty sure I had only heard of Noel/the Boosh from Tumblr back in the early days. British shows were harder to get here back then. SO anyway, I went and found the Boosh to watch and then I watched Dick Turpin, Big Fat Quiz, whatever Buzzcocks I could find etc etc and well now here we are and Noel is the love of my life hahahaha. Don't tell my IRL BF ;) (JK I love him too!)

I do love british comedy in general, I love Richard Ayoade (obvs), Jimmy Carr, David Mitchell, Jack Whitehall, Joe Lycett etc etc.

And while I was born American, I have always been British at heart. For life. <3

So there's a little about me. Sorry if this is long. I am not sure how to put something behind a cut etc. Thanks for bearing with me!!

Photo from the Sunday Herald, August 2000! They were promoting the third Boosh stage show, Autoboosh. Noel explains the plot:

Noel: "They are in a car having some leisure time for most of the show. They've been zookeepers and postmen and now they are heading out to the country but it all goes horribly wrong. They both get really bored and Julian gives a hitchhiker a lift."

On the Weekender in 2008, Julian and Noel discussed transferring characters from TV to stage:

Julian: “Because we’re doing the characters from the show, we’re taking them and putting them onstage, the context changes pretty much everything they do somehow. They’re addressing the crowd.”

Noel: “We do have problems with that, don’t we? Because obviously Old Gregg, for example. He’s in a cave. He comes up to the surface, drags you down to his cave. If you take away the fact that he’s a merman who lives under the ocean, it’s a bit weird, putting him on a stage. Half of what he is, is the context he was in, do you know what I mean?”

“Noel came on the bus and it was instantly calm; we were listening to Three Men in a Boat on audio, drinking peppermint tea, I had cushions and a quilt and we were having a nap.”

In a 2017 interview with The Guardian, Julian looked back to his early stand-up days!

Julian: “I thought I could see how standup worked. I never thought of being an actor - or anything else, really - but I thought: ‘I can see how you get on stage, and tell jokes." When I met Noel, I thought: ‘This is great. We can do it together and have a laugh.’ I much preferred working with people.”
