Rhys Darby

February 15th 2008 01:15
Rhys Darby


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.

The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles takes you through the journey of one of mankind's greatest achievements, the Automobile, with over 100 years worth of automotive history at the museum.

In an exclusive exhibition, the 'LA Vida Lowrider: Cruising The City Of Angels' at the Petersen celebrates lowrider cars, people, and culture, and the city that inspires so many, both nationally and internationally.

The word 'lowrider' is used to describe a car that is customized primarily to be low to the ground, usually containing a hydraulic setup for adjusting ride height, with a fantastic candy paint job, chrome features, and customized upholstery.

This exhibition is on at the Petersen Automotive Museum from now until June 8, 2008.
