'''Noel Fielding''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|n|ə|ʊ|ə|l}}; born 21 May 1973) is an English comedian, artist, and actor. 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 [[black comedy|dark]] and [[surreal humour|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 (1998 stage 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 Radio London|BBC London Live]], called ''[[The Boosh]]'' later transferring to BBC radio 4.

In 2004, the Mighty Boosh became a television show ''[[The Mighty Boosh (TV series)|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 (2006 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 video]]s.

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.
