He was part of The Mighty Boosh comedy troupe alongside Julian Barratt in the 2000s, and has been a co-presenter of The Great British Bake Off since 2017. He is known for his dark and surreal comedic style.
Fielding began performing stand-up comedy when he graduated from art school in 1995, and in 1997 he first met Mighty Boosh collaborator Barratt when they both appeared on the same comedy bill at a pub in north London. Around 1998, they performed their first comedy show together in London, which was a mix of stand-up and sketch comedy, then later in 1998 they took the show, The Mighty Boosh, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They returned to the festival in 1999 with Arctic Boosh, and in 2000 with Autoboosh. In 2001 The Mighty Boosh became a six-part radio show on BBC London Live, called The Boosh later transferring to BBC radio 4.
In 2004, the Mighty Boosh became a television show The Mighty Boosh, which ran for three series on BBC Three until 2007. The show generated a cult following and won awards. From February to April 2006 they went on tour around the UK with the stage show The Mighty Boosh Live and then toured the UK for a second time from September 2008 to January 2009 with The Mighty Boosh Live: Future Sailors Tour.
During the 2000s, Fielding also had smaller roles in other comedy shows for Channel 4 including Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd, AD/BC: A Rock Opera, and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. After The Mighty Boosh, he wrote and starred in two series of a solo show for Channel 4 called Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy, which ran between 2012 and 2014. He has also appeared as a team captain on the BBC Two comedy panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, originally from 2009 to 2015, and again since 2021, and as a guest on Richard Ayoade's Travel Man series. He has also appeared in several music videos.
Fielding, along with Sergio Pizzorno from the band Kasabian, formed the band Loose Tapestries as an alternative project in 2012, to provide music for Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy. Fielding has also exhibited his artwork in London, and collaborated with Fendi for their autumn/winter 2021 menswear collection.

Sometime around 1998<ref name="Mighty Boosh A History"/> they then put on their first comedy show at Oranje Boom Boom, which "was very raw, but... hilarious", and afterwards got a gig at Hen and Chickens Theatre, a theatre bar in Islington, London.

Fielding said that for the first three weeks of the TV show, he did all of the paintings for the animations, but this led to lack of sleep, so Ivana Zorn, Nigel Coan's partner, started doing most of the painting, with Fielding just designing the main characters.<ref name=2015reddit>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Fielding formed "Secret Peter Productions"<ref name="2014 Boosh Guardian 2nd"/> with Nigel Coan who, along with Fielding and Zorn, helped to animate series 1 and 2 of the Mighty Boosh TV show, An evening with Noel Fielding and Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy.<ref name="velvet onion January 2012"/> Coan also directed Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy as well as helping to write it along with Fielding.<ref name="velvet onion January 2012"/> Dave Brown also contributed to graphics for the Mighty Boosh.<ref name="Mighty Boosh back at university"/> Barratt composed all the music.<ref name=Guardian2011>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name= "Observer 2007"/> Other regular Boosh collaborators included Michael Fielding, Rich Fulcher, Dave Brown,<ref name="velvet onion January 2012"/> Richard Ayoade, and Matt Berry<ref name="Mighty Boosh A History"/> The Mighty Boosh won the Shockwaves NME Best TV Award three times in 2007, 2008, and 2010.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

It went on and on".<ref name="Noel Fielding interview - Taras Wray"/>
Fielding has said several times that he talked about writing a film with Barratt,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and he would have loved to do so, but they never got around to it.<ref name="Youtube 2013 - part 5"/><ref name="2014 Boosh Guardian">Template:Cite news</ref> They wrote two film scripts which did not make it to production.
