It has been proposed that the noncommutative geometry of the "fuzzy" 2-sphere provides a nonperturbative regularization of scalar field theories. This generalizes to compact Kaehler manifolds where simple field theories are regularized by the geometric quantization of the manifold. In order to permit actual calculations and the comparison with other regularizations, I describe the perturbation theory of these regularized models and propose an approximation technique for evaluation of the Feynman diagrams. I present example calculations of the simplest diagrams for the $\phi^4$ model on the 2-sphere, a 2-sphere times a 2-sphere, and 2-dimensional complex projective space. This regularization fails for noncompact spaces; I give a brief dimensional analysis argument as to why this is so. I also discuss the relevance of the topology of Feynman diagrams to their ultra-violet and infra-red divergence behavior in this model.
