Flight of the Conchords

2005_04_artsconchords.jpgMaybe you couldn’t swing the cost of the Black Diamond All Access Pass, or perhaps you got blackballed from the St. Regis Hotel for trying to sneak into Larry David’s suite last year. Whatever your reason may be for not attending this year’s US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, you need not worry, a bit of it is coming to New York throughout the week. Flight of the Conchords, named Best Alternative Comedy Act at this year’s festival, will be performing their show at various venues around the city. Self described as “New Zealand’s fourth most popular folk parody duo”, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie perform their own ingenious brand of acoustic musical comedy. The Guardian described them as having “virtuoso musicality and superbly gormless banter”. If you see one gormless show this week, Gothamist thinks this should be it.

Wednesday at 8pm @ CBGB's 313 Gallery - $5

Thursday at 7pm @ The Knitting Factory - Old Office With Home On Mother Earth, Teedo, Sympathizers & Brian Cline - $6

Friday at 6:30 and 9pm FREE Tapings for HBO's One Night Stand @ The Jack H. Skirball Center for Performing Arts. With Bonnie MacFarlane. [These tickets are by email request only. Send request with the following info in the subject AND body of the email (Name, Phone #, Email Address, Time of show you prefer to attend, How many tickets - 4 max.) to conchords@broadwayvideo.com]
