The Mighty Boosh

Main article: 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 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 has since confirmed his brother's story about The Mighty Boosh name, but revealed that his friend was actually Spanish.

He is 5'1" (155 cm).
