New Zealanders Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement debuted on HBO in 2005 in an edition of the comedy series “One-Night Stand,” returning to the network in 2007 for the debut season of their acclaimed, Emmy-nominated series “Flight of the Conchords,” which followed fictionalized versions of their lives in New York City.

The duo also signed a worldwide deal with Sub Pop Records for their recorded music, going on to release the Grammy-winning EP, 2007s The Distant Future, followed by two full-lengths and a live album - their 2008 self-titled debut, 2009s I Told You I Was Freaky, and 2019s Live In London. In 2016, Flight of the Conchords also headlined in the US and the UK multiple times, including their wildly successful “Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords Tour”. In May 2026, the duo returned to Los Angeles after an eight-year pause with three Southern California shows – including a sold-out, two-night stand at the Greek Theatre for Netflix is a Joke Fest.

The Conchords’ have also enjoyed individual success. Clement is the co-creator (and occasional guest star) of the comedy horror TV shows Wellington Paranormal and What We Do In The Shadows. He’s had a recurring role in FX’s Legion, and appeared in films like Men In Black 3, The Minecraft Movie, Megan 2.0, and most recently as “Dr. Garvin” in the last two Avatar films (The Way of Water in 2022; and Fire and Ash in 2025). Earlier this year, Clement starred in the Hulu/Disney+ British comedy series Alice and Steve.

McKenzie was the songwriter for The Muppets, which won him an Academy Award® for Best Original Song for “Man or Muppet,” and “Muppets Most Wanted.” He's also written songs for TV and film, including The Simpsons and The Minecraft Movie. Bret also recently released two solo albums for Sub Pop - Songs Without Jokes in 2022 and Freak Out City in 2024, and has been touring live in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

About Flight of the Conchords’ Live:
“...Flight of the Conchords has been distinguished by its subtlety: songs, jokes and stage banter so understated, you could be forgiven for not realizing when the two men performing them are joking.” New York Times
“...a carefully constructed, carefully executed live comedy of a rare breed–simultaneously large-scale and human-level.” BROOKLYN VEGAN
"Their impressions are razor-sharp, their vocals show huge range (McKenzie's especially), and their comic timing is better than ever (Clement's in particular)." - The Week
“You’d be hard-pressed to find any current musical-comedy act that didn’t pick up a little of the Conchords DNA.” PLAYBOY
