Kiwi musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords are set to reunite for their first live show in eight years.

The pair – Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement – will perform a one-off show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on May 9 as part of the Netflix is a Joke Festival.

It marks the Wellingtonians’ first live show since 2018, when they teamed up for the Flight of the Conchords: Live in London TV special on HBO.

McKenzie last week announced he would be performing down under in March and April as part of the Australasia leg of his Freak Out City tour.

Netflix is a Joke will be held from May 4 to 10 and also featured Jon Stewart, Chelsea Handler, John Mulaney, Hasan Minhaj, Ronny Chieng, Wanda Sykes, Larry David, and Jerry Seinfeld.
