Career

He helped write and was given a part in his brother's, Noel Fielding, and Julian Barratt's show, The Mighty Boosh, which proved to be his big break. He starred in all three seasons of The Mighty Boosh and the live tours, The Mighty Boosh Live and the Future Sailors Tour as Naboo the Enigma. He has also had a small role in The Forsyte Saga. Most recently, he has been doing voiceover work for the BBC's See Hear television programme.

The Mighty Boosh

Michael is best known for playing Naboo the Enigma, the shaman on The Mighty Boosh, co-written by and co-starring his older brother, Noel Fielding. He became part of The Mighty Boosh when he accompanied Noel to a show in Australia. Michael and his best friend, who has a small part in the TV series as a shaman, then decided to live in Australia following the tour. In an audio commentary on the DVD release of the first season of The Mighty Boosh, Noel commented that his brother and friend only lived there for a year but they 'had the time of their lives'. His character is often seen with a hookah pipe and makes a few drug references throughout the series. Noel said in an interview with Jonathan Ross that the abstract name of the show came about from one of Michael's Portuguese friends who described his hair as being like a "mighty bush", owing to Michael's curly hairstyle as a child.[1]

Michael is currently working at London's Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, as a photographer (November 2011).
