“Performers often can be quite socially inept, you know? And even great comedians are like that.”

English comedian, actor, and musician

Julian Barratt Pettifer is an English comedian, actor, and musician. He is known for comic work that leans on surreal humour and black comedy, and for his role in the 2000s comedy troupe the Mighty Boosh with Noel Fielding. His work as a comedian and comic actor is what brought him widest attention. The style associated with him often blends the odd, the absurd, and the dark, which helped define the tone of the Mighty Boosh and his broader comic presence.
