New Zealand folk comedy duo Flight of the Conchords are coming to Dublin for two shows at The Olympia Theatre on 5th and 6th of May. The tour follows the second season and series finale of HBO/BBC’s hit show Flight of the Conchords as well as the release of the duo’s second full-length album, I Told You I Was Freaky. Comedian and fellow Conchords cast member Kristin Schaal, who plays superfan Mel, will open each night.
Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, the comedic musicians who together are Flight of the Conchords, first came onto the European scene after being nominated in 2003 for the Edinburgh Comedy Festival’s prestigious Perrier Prize. This success led to the band’s BBC 2 radio series, earning the pair the Bronze Sony Radio Academy Award for comedy. In 2008 Flight of the Conchords released their self-titled full-length debut which has gone on to achieve Gold status in the UK and was nominated for a Grammy for best comedy album.
