Londonist asks someone random questions. This time it's the world's worst band manager (Flight of the Conchords)/world's worst pirate (Or Flag Means Death)/world's worst werewolf (What We Do in the Shadows), Rhys Darby.
Rhys... present?
Yes, most definitely, although possibly a little late. Did you receive this on time? [Ed's note: indeed we did!]
You've said in your stand up routines that New Zealanders walk fast, but who walks faster — Londoners or Kiwis?
Oh, I suppose we'd have to give it to you, trying to catch trains or dodge pickpockets.
Best place for pretending to be a pirate in London?
The Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens.
If you wrote a song about London, what would it be called?
Excuse Me, Sorry.
Favourite London cemetery?
You know, I've never had a reason to visit any. Should I? [Ed's note: yes, the whole Magnificent Seven for starters!]
You often play gentlemanly characters - who's the gentlemanliest person you've met in London?
Probably the doorman at The Dorchester, or Sir Richard Curtis. Actually, it may've been the same chap.
Rhys Darby's new show The Legend Returns tours the UK from 30 May-3 July 2025, coming to to Alexandra Palace Theatre on 31 May.
