Rhys Darby

February 15th 2008 01:15

Rhys Darby first found fame at university in 1995 for a comedy sketch entitled 'Things Rhys can do' and soon after, the comedy duo 'Rhysently Granted' with Grant Lobban was formed. The pair-up became an overnight sensation in Christchurch, New Zealand after winning an open mic contest at Southern Blues Bar.

Darby soon began hitting the stage solo at international comedy festivals and it soon became his trademark to put a spin on it by being very physical on stage and using his theatrical strengths in mime and sound effects to tell stories by acting them out.
