Kiwi icon Rhys Darby returns to the stage in The Legend Returns, a brand new stand-up show for 2025.

Marking his first comedic tour after almost a decade, Darby will be in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Ireland in 2025.
 
In a world full of AI and Robot tech can a simple dad with slightly tight jeans stay relevant? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes! Rhys hopes to prove that right now a touch of very human silliness is more important than ever!? Perhaps his unique skills, once thought of as absurd, might just be useful after all!

 

Darby’s shows are always a mix of astute observations and physical stand-up cocooned in a fantastical storyline that takes his audience on a hilarious journey.

 

“I’m so excited to return to the stage, a bit older, a bit wiser but mostly a bit sillier than ever before!” says Darby.
