On the way home from Autodesk University 2004 I sat next to a comedy writer for who was heading to NZ to script a pilot show for “Flight Of the Conchords”. They are a Kiwi Folk (as in music) Parody duo who had been spotted at the Montreal Comedy Festival. The concept for the show sounded great and we had a long conversation about NZ comedy, culture and how a Kiwi reacts to arriving in the US.
It seems that deal, with NBC, didn’t work out but just discovered their new series debuts on HBO next month. If you like quirky comedy with a Kiwi accent check them out!
