British comedian and artist Noel Fielding took to Instagram earlier this week to thank followers for the outpouring of birthday messages. In a laid-back snapshot, Fielding simply wrote: “Thank you for all my birthday love you guys are the best ! I am ancient but happy :) x x 🖤🖤🖤.” The self-deprecating caption perfectly captured the surreal humour that has defined his two-decade career.
Fans Flood Social Media With Well-wishes
Fielding’s post prompted a flood of congratulatory comments within hours, with admirers praising everything from his unique style to his off-beat sense of humour. Many tagged friends, shared GIFs of his iconic characters from The Mighty Boosh, and left heart-filled emojis in response to his “ancient but happy” quip. The simplicity of his thank-you note resonated strongly with fans, who appreciated the comedian’s down-to-earth approach to marking another trip around the sun.
A Cult Comedy Icon
Noel Fielding first gained a cult following alongside collaborator Julian Barratt in the late 1990s. Together they co-wrote and starred in the stage show and radio series that evolved into the BBC hit The Mighty Boosh (2004–2007). Known for its surreal plots and psychedelic visuals, the show earned two BAFTA nominations and cemented Fielding’s reputation as a boundary-pushing performer. A London School of Art graduate, he blends his background in fine art with a flair for the absurd—often incorporating colourful costumes and whimsical set pieces into his live and screen work.
Artist, Comedian, Bake Off Host
Fielding’s artistic pursuits extend well beyond television. In March, he shared a Ramones-inspired canvas under the caption “Night in with Joey and Dee Dee! (new painting on the go!) Look Ma I’m in the Ramones” (Instagram.com/p/DHO86S3tlfO/), giving followers a peek at his dynamic studio process. Another recent post, simply titled “Moon child x” (Instagram.com/p/DHtfgerNK6z/), showcased a dream-like piece filled with swirling pastels.
Since 2017, he’s also reached a broader audience as co-host of The Great British Bake Off alongside Matt Lucas. Balancing light-hearted banter with genuine warmth, Fielding has brought his signature whimsy to the baking tent—earning praise from both critics and viewers. His journey from off-beat comedian to mainstream television favourite underscores his versatility in crossing artistic genres.
As fans continue to celebrate his milestone online, Fielding’s gratitude—and trademark humour—remain front and centre. With new art projects on the horizon and another season of Bake Off in the works, he’s clearly not slowing down anytime soon.
