NOEL FIELDING’S STARDOM in his native England is one of those head-scratching curiosities that keeps US comedy fans shaking their heads in wonderment and jealousy. The 42-year-old Londoner’s creative output and glammed-up fashion sense is the kind of combination that would turn him into, at best, a cult figure here, but in the UK, he’s almost a rock god.
Tomorrow night at the Revolution Hall is An Evening with Noel Fielding. The stage show features a mixture of Fielding’s stand-up, some animated sequences, and during the second half, appearances by many of the characters he introduced on British TV, including Fantasy Man (a kind of psychedelic Arthurian knight) and blustery New York cop Raymond Boombox. You’re either on board with his lysergic discursions, or you’re not. Lucky for Fielding, it would appear that many are willing to follow him down whatever winding, multicolored path he creates. Besides, if it doesn’t work out here, his home country will be waiting for him with open arms.
