New Zealand stand-up comic, Rhys has gained fans around the world as Murray the Manager in Flight of the Conchords and Jim Carreys boss in the hit comedy Yes Man.
Probably best known for playing band manager Murray Hewitt in the Emmy-nominated hit TV series Flight of the Conchords, currently in its second series on-air. Rhys is also quite the film star playing Jim Carreys dorky boss in the international hit comedy Yes Man, and as one of the DJs in the comedy The Boat That Rocked, in cinemas next month, co-starring Rhys Ifans, Billy Nighy and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
A former soldier, he left the army in 1994 and went to uni, forming a comedy duo Rhysently Granted in 1996. After winning an open mic contest in Christchurch they went from performing in local venues to international comedy festivals. After performing his first solo show in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, he moved to London in 2003 quickly becoming a cult figure on the British comedy scene, and getting gigs throughout Europe, Iceland, The Falklands and recently the Middle East.
Hes also written and performed in six plays since 2000, four were solo productions in which he played all the roles.
Rhys first stand-up DVD, Rhys Darby Live Imagine That! Is in stores now.
Hes in Australia on a stand-up tour, Rhys Darby Live!

[@pasharighton]

rooting for my man Rhys to get that Emmy for OFMD

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Murray finally got himself a good gig! Good on ya, Murray!

[@pluto9000]

Wow, I didn't know Murray was in town.

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

He really did a great job of playing a stereotypical wet behind the ears, farm boy Kiwi. The whole Flight of.. show was a classic

[@billthecat666]

Murray has me in tears. Perfect delivery. Perfect comic timing.

[@mrkristoff]

After spending a year in NZ and listening to people there then moving to Oz it was like someone turned the volume from comfortable to full blast.

[@sorenlorenson8327]

@kąlsjzj no it's the other way around

[@feyetho9524]

"Help me! It's my last chance" was a morbid but accurate prediction by Rhys' about Michael Jackson. It was his last tour before he died.

[@alexnaoum88]

This man is prophetic, he predicted Michael Jackson's death just before it happened! Mind blown.

[@slickchap]

i think jus one of the most funniest guys in the planet.. he lives and breathes his character murray

[@lewabdn]

Kiwis are awesome, My ex was an aussie and hated when i said that but you remind me of us Scots. Our country aint quite as big as England but our charm and silly accents make us who we are. I saw Rhys at the Fringe a couple years ago and he was amazing. A truly funny and talented man.

[@thetwilighttriforce]

I dont know why but I could listen to this voice for hours ._.

[@prokentsful]

All the Australian jokes in Flight of the Conchords are coming to my head now. God damn hilarious stuff!

[@zazuzazz5419]

[@mindstormd]

#LOL

[@iVixxen]

LMAO - was Rove gonna give Rhys a hongi?

[@gosushigo97]

I understand.

[@gosushigo97]

American comedy in my experience is usually alright. I really like John Mulaney Louis CK to name a few

[@mattblack77nz]

First view, first rating, first comment.....Matty scores the KZbin trifecta!

[@democracymanifest3247]

Rove's fake laugh puts me off.

[@McMeevin]

My left ear :( Shit audio encoding.

[@o8kate8o]

No that would be American comedy

[@Geenahall]

Damn that Micheal Jackson joke "Help me its my last chance" yikes:/

[@claridge8888]

Identity theft is not a joke Jim!

[@achaelxoxoxo]

hughseys gap in his teeth annoy me lol

[@Skindoggiedog]

Rough life.

[@cliffedward]

Rove is as funny as hemorrhoids.

[@JavnaGolina]

He's just like other new zealanders except actually funny

[@1601tgc]

How average is Rove

[@o8kate8o]

Being raised on British, Aussie and kiwi humour, American humour is bleh

[@jordie8000]

@powers1111 your a moran rove was the best

[@gosushigo97]

I know right! Most NZ comedy is just gross

[@raoulduke8720]

love Rhys but the rest of these people are feckin weird

[@laurabora9750]

I think generally Australians feel like they're way better than New Zealanders, and to them, New Zealand is like the annoying tag a long little sister, that they feel they're forced to drag along while they hang out with their cool mates down behind the bike sheds.

[@Smoshy16]

Rhys Darby , one of the most unfunny people ever.

[@camarochild681]

Imagine that!
