2 - 16 March
Cover story: The Mighty Boosh For those with memories sharper than Kodiak Jack’s libido, the Edinburgh Festival days of the late 908 were a halcyon period when the Boosh blazed a trail with their anarchically silly ways. As they return for a clutch of sell-out shows, we talk to the men behind the Boosh about hair products, smelly feet and having damp knickers thrown at them. It’s a rampant time for comedy with the Glasgow Comedy Festival hitting the heights from 9 March. We have a cuddly rendezvous with Ronnie Corbett (page 20), Jerry Springer — The Opera co-writer Richard Thomas talks about the incendiary relationship between comedy and faith (page 10), and Paul Morley pens an ode to Jim Bowen (page 36).
