Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy
(Nigel Coan, 2012)
From the childlike imagination of Noel Fielding, comes the mixture of live action and animation that is, Luxury Comedy. The sets are created from what looks like the contents of a child's craft set; reflective card, glitter, felt tip pens, crayon, sparkly fabrics, sequins, feathers, etc. It's an extravagant mixture of exaggerated textures and surfaces, for example, creases are painted onto fabrics. It is psychedelic and over the top and props are created from the most normal of objects, making them very abnormal in the process. Beards created from pencil crayons, facial features made from plastic cups. Make up and face paint are used in an exaggerated manner too. The whole feel of the programme is colourful and bizarre, a neon, geometric world.
