[edit] The Mighty Boosh
Barratt is best known for playing Howard Moon opposite Noel Fielding's Vince Noir in the cult comedy series The Mighty Boosh. Barratt is also an accomplished musician (in a wide range of genres; he claims to be a jazz fusion fanatic - a passion he shares with Howard Moon), composing much of the music for the series, in an eclectic range of genres including rap, heavy metal and psychedelic rock. Julian lists Allan Holdsworth as the only thing he is interested in on his section of The Mighty Boosh official website.
[edit] Other television
Barratt co-starred as Dan Ashcroft, a frustrated writer, in the Channel 4 media satire, Nathan Barley, which also featured Noel Fielding as a deranged electronic musician. He appeared in the surreal black comedy series Asylum alongside Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson (writers and stars of Spaced). He also appeared in the infamous 'Freelance Scientist' commercial for the Metz alcopop Judder Ad. He appeared as the priest in the spoof horror series "Garth Marenghi's Dark Place".

He and his girlfriend, fellow comedian Julia Davis, are expecting the arrival of twins in summer 2007. Rumour is that they are expecting two boys.[1]
