'Party' by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding

Howard plans to spend his “32nd” birthday with a quiet night in listening to jazz with his friend Lester Corncrake, but Vince wants to celebrate with a huge party. Howard refuses, having been let down by Vince at a birthday party when he was a kid, but eventually succumbs to the idea after he meets a pretty partygoer. While Vince and Howard get ready for the big event, Naboo and Bollo tip-off the Council of Shamen and then start baking hash brownies… That evening, the party is in full swing: Howard and Lester stun the crowd with their dancing, Tony Harrison and Saboo take over the DJ-ing, and the flat fills with Vince’s trendy friends. Howard interrupts the event to thank all the unfamiliar faces for coming to his party, but his routine is upstaged by the arrival of Vince in full party gear. As the party resumes, Vince and Howard takes some girls downstairs to the ‘Nabootique’ to play ‘Spin the Bottle’; but thing go wrong, and Howard ends up revealing that he is still a virgin. As Howard hides on the roof in shame, Vince gets caught in a compromising situation with the Head Shaman’s wife, Methuselah – and when Dennis finds out, he goes after Vince with a very big sword…
