So, out of interest, what is the general structure of a "Rhys Darby's Saying Funny Things Society" night?
I'm imagining sort of short solo routines by the participants and then, idk, improv games??
Do they always have music or was Great Big Cow an exception for obvious reasons? If music is a part, does it come before, after, or in between the comedy?
This week's article on my site is tangentially related to Kiwi humor with one big exception: Bo Burnham performed with both Taika Waititi AND Rhys Darby in 2017! 🤯
That's right, Bo was an unannounced guest for Rhys Darby's Saying Funny Things Society on February 15, 2017, along with Taika and Jerrod Carmichael. What a lineup!
My article also goes into all of Bo's appearances at the Largo post-Make Happy (well, as many as I could find online at least), but seriously...that had to have been an incredible night for international comedy fans!
Enjoy reading about Bo's Largo shows, and stay tuned for more New Zealand Comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔
What a night. Thanks to all who came out❤️ Thank you cap’n @rhysiedarby & @LargoLosAngeles! And what a pleasure to meet legend Brett Goldstein aka Roy f*cking Kent. He does smile ⚽️
