Long ago, before Rhys Darby was in a show about another musical sketch comedy duo, Rhys was part of his own musical comedy sketch duo with Grant Lobban called Rhysently Granted. Then, Darby rose to acclaim with his own comedy and playing a supporting role in that other musical sketch comedy duo’s show, Flight of The Conchords.

20 years later, Darby is teaming up with Lobban again to show us all what we’re missing. So far, they’re doing two shows in LA, one at the Nerdmelt Showroom on Tuesday, March 29th at 7PM and one at Westside Comedy Theater on Wednesday, Mar. 30th at 8PM, which will also include a solo stand-up performance from Rhys.

Tickets are $8 in advance/$10 at door and $15 respectively.
