The Kiwi icon returns after 13 years with a new stand-up show for 2025. In a world full of AI and robot tech can a simple dad with slightly too-tight jeans stay relevant?

Perhaps his unique human skills, once thought of as absurd, might be useful after all! Famous for TV shows like Flight of the Conchords and Our Flag Means Death, Darby is excited to return to the stand-up stage.
