Most Recent Appearance
Kelly Brook, The Mighty Boosh, The Streets.
Friday 5 September 2008 on BBC-1
The show returns and presumably so will the smut, as Kelly Brook is amongst the first guests in this, the 15th series. The Mighty Boosh return with a song to sing and a big monkey, too. Jonathan also welcomes Britain's gold medal winners from Beijing, which will take longer to do than it will...
Julian moved from Leeds to London in 1994 to try his hand at the comedy circuit. However, he neglected to tell the people that he moved in with, who became suspicious that he was dissappearing for 5 hours at a time in the middle of the night.
(edit)
Julian's real name is Julian Pettifer; however, Equity (the British actors' union) would not allow him to use it, so he became Julian Barratt for professional purposes.
(edit)
Julian stars in Peter Roche's short film How to Tell When a Relationship Is Over. The short has been described as a masterpiece by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
(edit)
Julian has a 2 line speaking cameo role in the 2003 movie The Reckoning alongside Willem Dafoe.
(edit)
Julian was in the BBC TV short film Surrealissimo: The Trial of Salvador Dali, alongside Noel Fielding, Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas and Vic Reeves.

Julian: It’s [The Mighty Boosh] something we take very seriously, so you have as much fun as you do with anything that you work hard at. The idea is just for it to look like effortless nonsense but that’s always quite a hard thing to achieve.
(edit) Julian: I mean there is logic to a hermaphrodite mermaid; why wouldn’t a mermaid be a sea transsexual? Sea creatures are hermaphroditic. (edit) Julian: The Boosh is just born out of stuff that makes us laugh, we’re not fans of weird stuff just for the sake of being weird. (edit) Julian: It was instantly a good pairing as we both come from very different worlds. Noel’s a sort of South London cockney whilst I came from a North English jazz background, but we instantly seemed to understand each other. (edit) Julian: I probably see Noel more than anyone. He even creeps into my dreams, his pointy little face haunts me in my sleep. Am I ever going to be safe? (edit)
