The Mighty Boosh: theatrical and narrative sspects of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding's epic comedy
Šímová, Martina ; Christov, Petr (advisor) ; Clark, Colin Steele (referee)
This thesis is concerned with a detailed analysis of the work of the British comedic troupe The Mighty Boosh created by actors and comedians Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. The Boosh phenomenon is relatively unknown in our cultural environment. Accordingly, the first part of the thesis aims to serve partly as an introduction: it presents the authors' cultural background and the origins of the project itself. Subsequently, technical and physical aspects of the show as well as the acting/theatrical methods used are inquired into. The second part is more practical as it focuses on the narrative framework and strategies, which tend to be highly repetitive and make Barratt and Fielding's project an epic (heroic) comedy. The analysis seeks to explain these narrative strategies by referring to authors such as Vladimir Propp, Joseph Campbell and others, and to reveal The Mighty Boosh in its entirety and complexness.
