Let’s Dance For Comic Relief: Noel Fielding dances to a Kate Bush classic
I love that Noel Fielding refers to himself as “Britain’s Leading Goth comedian”. Clearly since Russell Brand has legged it to the US of A and Tim Minchin isn’t native to these Isles, Noel Fielding is Britain’s only Goth Comedian.
Fielding gets a fairly surreal intro video, in which he gets mentored by a cockney fairy princess. Badly. It’s a nice spin on the typical ‘celebrity training video’, especially at the end where he declares it to have been a success!
Excellently kooky song choice for Noel as well – Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush! One of Let’s Dance’s strong suits is taking make performers and making look disturbingly feminine. Fielding’s wearing a flowy red dress and brunette wig and giving. Oh! Oh! Oh! The routine pays tribute to the original video – with two backing dancers mimicking Noel’s movements.Lee Mack: “I’ve watched this programme many many times, and a lot of comedians will come out here and they will play the opposite gender just to get cheap laughs. But tonight, finally, this young lady come out here and was happy to be herself. And for that, she’s my winner so far.”
Jack Whitehall: “It was beguiling, it was beautiful, it was elegant, and it’s left me worrying about…personal issues. Next time I’m intimate with a lady, when I shut my eyes, I’ll see you. And what worries me even more is that won’t disappoint me.”
Keith Lemon: “Noel, you’re very funny on television. Normally when you dress, you remind me of Dracula and also look a bit like a hawkman. But tonight you remind me of Blossom from the 80′s TV show Blossom. And also remind me of Bev from Brookside. Your lines were amazing. I think he might be ‘t winner.”
