CHRISTCHURCH DATE ANNOUNCED,
AN
EXTRA WELLINGTON SHOW
& VERY SPECIAL GUEST ARJ BARKER
JOINS THE TOUR!
Previously known as ‘the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand’, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie very first New Zealand national tour sold like hot potatoes!
Flight of the Conchords are pleased to announce the details of their Christchurch show, an additional show for Wellington fans and that American stand-up comedian Arj Barker - Bret and Jemaine’s indifferent friend Dave Mohumbhai, the pawn shop guy from their HBO TV sitcom – will join their NZ tour.
After a fortnight of high expectations Christchurch fans will be excited to know that on Tuesday 26 June the Conchords will perform at Christchurch’s CBS Canterbury Arena. All tickets are $50 and all proceeds from ticket sales after costs will be donated to a Christchurch charity, details of which will be announced very shortly. Initially tickets will be available by application in person at the venue box office* from 9am on Saturday 31 March - limited to four tickets per person. If any tickets remain, internet and phone sales will be from 1pm.
Due to overwhelming demand, Bret and Jemaine’s home-town of Wellington also has an extra show.

*There's been a great deal of
concern over ticket scalping in recent weeks. We really
want to get tickets in local people’s hands at face value,
so it’s back to personally queuing up at the box office.
Be early, bring something warm and grab a couple of the best
seats in the house!
