COMEDY Flight of the Conchords
In a year of exciting big comedy tours, Kiwi duo Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement’s return to Scotland after almost a full decade away is as thrilling as it gets. Musical comedians who put equal emphasis on music and comedy, Flight of the Conchords will be landing among their avid fans who will lap up oldies such as ‘The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)’, ‘Think About It’ and ‘Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymnoceros’ while welcoming the quirky twosome’s new material. See feature, page 36. SSE Hydro, Glasgow, Mon 26 Mar.
