The Mighty Boosh Live: Future Sailors Tour was a stage-show written and performed by Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, also known as The Mighty Boosh. Michael Fielding, Rich Fulcher and Dave Brown also performed in the show, along with the Boosh Band.
The show toured the UK and Ireland from September 2008 through to January 2009.
The show, as it appeared throughout most of the tour, begins with an introduction by Joey Moose (Brown), reminding people of the strict no photography rule in place during that night's performance. This is followed by a sample of Tusk by Fleetwood Mac, as spotlights flash across the stage curtains. Vince Noir (Fielding) and Howard Moon (Barratt) begin the show proper with a performance of "Future Sailors" – Noir entering the stage in a large pirate ship, Moon following in a rubber dinghy. Noir reveals the boats and all other props were paid for via their new sponsors, Jean-Claude Jacqueti – much to Moon's distaste.
After their usual banter, both with each other and members of the audience, the first act of the show features a series of sketches starring a number of different characters. Bob Fossil (Fulcher) is introduced, and guides the audience through a series of moves from his Dance Academy. Naboo (M. Fielding) and Bollo (Brown) follow this, Naboo now a gangsta rapper in L.A. (which causes Noel Fielding, out of character, to exclaim his brother is dressed like their dad in the 1970s), and Bollo shows off his latest invention – the frisbee clock.
After this, we are introduced to, in quick succession, The Moon, who reappears throughout the show; Tony Harrison, who introduces his own chat-show themed 'nugget' of the show, including a set from a Lithuanian taxi-driver turned stand up comic Kraków (Fulcher), then The Crack Fox, who tells a cautionary tale about a party lifestyle and subsequent drug use. When he leaves, The Hitcher is introduced, and he is soon wandering through the audience looking for victims, before leading the Boosh Band on a performance of Eels.
