Having worked so closely with Julian in the past, does it feel like added pressure that this will be seen as your solo stuff?
Yeah, a little bit. I read a comment on Twitter the other day that really made me laugh. A girl said “Noel Fielding’s trailers for Luxury Comedy are cracking me up, but I’ve got a feeling it’s not actually going to be that funny.” I just thought “You’ve only seen one trailer, and you loved it, but you still don’t think the show’s going to be any good.” I think there’s an element of people who loved the Boosh and don’t want to see us doing anything separate. There’s quite a lot of baggage when you do something separate. There’s people who never quite manage to disconnect themselves from a double act. It’s a bit like if you’re in a band. It can be done though. I think I’ve made it different enough from the Boosh. I’m really proud of it. (via A Deeper Dive Into Luxury Comedy « The Velvet Onion)
For me Luxury Comedy is inspired and unbridled. It will be an ongoing obsession. Hopefully there’s still more to come
