Rhys Darby

I went to see Rhys Darby aka Murray from Flight of the Conchords do stand up the other day. I have to say it was pretty disappointing, he just wasn't very funny. The section he did where he pretended to be a couple of different characters, a whale watcher and a UFO spotter, fell completely flat, and his Gervais-esque attempts at faux Hollywood A-lister arrogance couldn't do much to save the show.

Still, he did have a pair of custom-made silver nikes which caught my interest – shows how much fun I was having! Turns out he did some adverts with Roger Federer that play up to his character acting strengths, rather than his sub-par stand up weaknesses.
