Noel Fielding was born to Dianne Fielding and Ray Fielding, on May 21 1973. He has once revealed on The Russell Brand Show, on Radio 2, that he has a French grandmother. Fielding once stated that he was never baptised, he hasn't got a middle name and he does not follow any religion. He was once educated at Croydon art college and Buckingham Chilterns University College.
Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt's Edinburgh Festival debut in 1998 won them the much coveted Perrier Award for Best Newcomer. In 2001, The Mighty Boosh came to Radio 4. This proved to be very successful and was made into a television series for BBC 3 and took it by storm.
Outside of the Boosh, Fielding has had bit parts in several of Channel 4's off-beat comedy programmes. These included Nathan Barley, The IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. On quite a few occasions he has starred alongside fellow Boosh star Julian Barratt.
