Naboo (Michael Fielding).

With music & mayhem - it's all in a days work for
The Mighty Boosh.

Powerful actor, jazz fiend, a maverick who goes his
own way 聳 at least that's what Howard thinks.

effortless optimism.

good.

is fawning over the zoo's owner 聳 Dixon Bainbridge 聳 the object
of his love and devotion.
