Rhys Darby Book Signings in Auckland
Rhys Darby Book Signings in
Auckland
One of New Zealand’s best-loved
comedians, Rhys Darby, will be bringing his distinctive
brand of humour to Auckland this week.
The
perennial funny man will appear at Whitcoulls Corner (210
Queen St) on Friday May 11 from 12.30pm – 1pm to sign
copies of his new book This Way to Spaceship ($39.99
RRP, Hachette NZ). Then on Saturday May 12 he will be
signing books at the Warehouse Sylvia Park from 12pm –
12.30pm, before his session at the Auckland Writers &
Readers Festival, which runs from 4pm –
5pm.
This Way to Spaceship is a handy
autobiographical end-of-the-world companion and Darby’s
unmistakable voice leaps from the pages as he reaches back
into his dramatic, unforgettable, action-packed life to show
readers how they can get noticed, make it big – and
survive the possible Armageddon at the end of
2012.
Darby will also perform his new comedy show,
based on the book, at the SKYCITY Theatre this week and he
will be available after each of the shows to sign
books.
Darby gained international fame as Murray,
the manager, in the cult HBO television show Flight of
the Conchords. Since then he has developed an
outstanding film and TV career in the UK, US and NZ. Prior
to his onscreen accomplishments, Darby found success as a
stand-up comedian specialising in his own unique brand of
quirky storytelling.
