Artist
Julian Barratt Pettifer was born on the 4th of may 1968 in Leeds. He has two children with comedy star Julia Davis. He is best known for his role as Howard Moon in the British radio and television comedy series The Mighty Boosh, which he co-stars and writes with his comedy partner Noel Fielding. Julian writes all of the music that appears in The Mighty Boosh with help from Noel Fielding and Dave Brown. In The Mighty Boosh he plays a larger than life version of his himself where he is usually the butt of jokes. Howard is often overly serious, socially and romantically inept, boring, short tempered and has a love for jazz-funk fusion music. Noel Fielding's character Vince Noir is polar opposite in personality to Howard Moon and this often surreal comedy focuses around their relationship. In real life Julian is shy and private in interviews and usually allows his partner Noel to take the spotlight. However, on stage or in live shows he is flamboyant and has even been known to strip down to pink hotpants on stage. Julian is also known for his award winning stand up comedy and work in a variety of television shows including Unnatural Acts and Nathan Barley. He also appears in a popular advert for alcohol and comedy 90s techno band Pod. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
