It will Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie’s first live show as FOTC since 2018, according to Variety. Tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 23, at 1 p.m. ET via netflixisajokefest.com. Clement and McKenzie first rose to fame as Flight of the Conchords, a New Zealand musical comedy duo. They played themselves on the HBO series “Flight of the Conchords” from 2007-2009, performing funny songs like “Robots,” “Business Time,” “Hurt Feelings,” “The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room),” “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous” and “If You’re Into It.” They won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album in 2008 and were nominated for seven Emmy Awards, including for the 2018 comedy special, “Live in London.” Clement went on to appear in multiple movies, including “Men in Black 3,” “A Minecraft Movie,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” and “Harold and the Purple Crayon.” Clement’s credits also include “Rio,” “Moana,” “The BFG,” “The Lego Batman Movie,” and “What We Do in the Shadows,” which he co-wrote and co-directed with Taika Waititi before turning it into a TV series of the same name. McKenzie served as the music supervisor for 2011’s “The Muppets” and 2014’s “Muppets Most Wanted,” winning an Oscar for Best Original Song with “Man or Muppet.” He also played Lindir in Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” and performed with The Black Seeds, Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra and as a solo artist.
