The actors on 'The Mighty Boosh' are launching their own festival.

The comedy will be staging the outdoor event at The Hop Farm in Kent on July 5.

Noel Fielding and Julian Barret are promising "a day in the country" for which they will "drag a load of friends and comedians and bands" along to.

Details are yet to be confirmed, but tickets go on sale tomorrow (April 19) at 9am.

Selling out with a music and comedy festival?It's hardly starring in an iPod advert or putting music to a car ad is it!

WHY? Upon realising their 3rd series was infact sh*te, and DVD sales aren't actually any good either, the decision to hold a festival does smack ever-so slightly of desperation.MB movie? MB album? Now an MB festival. Give it up fellas, for christ sake!

The first series is pure gold - Probably my favorite TV comedy since brasseye.The second was okay.The third was pretty duff.If they played the comedy tent at Reading they would be heroes...Having their own festival...meh, might be worth a squint, probably not though.

Ah a festival full of media whores and cunts from London, thats it boys you keep it down in Kent, that ways we dont have to put up with whoever Noel Fielding is pictured with in Heat or the god awful Queens of noise.

I live right by The Hop Farm and I'm not going, despite being a boosh fan, it's just they wont anounce the bands or comedians, so they could be rubbish..and it could be a practice for their 2008 tour, in which case I'm going to that so this festival isnt really a clincher yet!

I'm going to see them at The Big Chill this year - at least if they disappoint, I can run away and do something else!!

i dont understand why everyone is having such a go at them for wanting to do this. i mean they use so many different music genres in their tv show and they have such a wide knowlage of the music genres so whats wrong with them doing what there good at. at the end of the day this is what the TRUE fans want aswell as the movie and the album. i personaly think that its a really good idea and would love to go.

i think the people who are slagging off this idea are obviously berks, haha. i rekon theres just a different level between boosh fans and people who are laim enough not to be. any real boosh fan will indulge in the idea of a festival, got my ticket, cant wait :)
