Rhys Darby Book Signing in Wellington


One of New Zealand’s best-loved comedians, Rhys Darby, will be bringing his distinctive brand of humour to Wellington this week.

The perennial funny man will appear at Whitcoulls Lambton Quay (formerly the Borders store) on Friday May 4 from 12.30pm – 1pm to sign copies of his new book This Way to Spaceship ($39.99 RRP, Hachette NZ).

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.

That evening Darby will also perform his new comedy show, based on the book, at the Wellington Opera House and he will be available after each of the three 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.
