RHYS DARBY live at Shepherds Bush Empire
Kiwi icon Rhys Darby ( aged 51) returns with his latest stand-up show, in a world full of AI and Robot tech can a simple dad with slightly tight jeans stay relevant?
Rhys hopes to prove that right now a touch of very human silliness is more important than ever.
------------
Levels 2 and 3 are closed tonight , and it's stalls seated , so maybe only 600 are here.
Folks are saying he was very popular a decade ago, but not so much now.
All three acts are " from down under".
Up first was a female comedian who did 10 mins.
Then a male comedian who did 20 mins.
RHYS DARBY arrived on stage at 9.10pm for his 75 mins set.
Some routines were funnier than others.
Enjoyable enough , but nothing that special.
