Flight of the Conchords

New Zealand is more famous for sheep than comedy, so it took a while for Kiwi duo Jermain Clement and Bret McKenzie to find a home for their musical-comedy Flight of The Conchords on US television. When they did, it wasn’t long before their show had become an alternative hit. Two series and a world tour later and with their youtube views in the millions, we thought it only right to award them with their highest honour yet: a mini-feature in Extra Virgin.

Introduction

Bret and Jermaine discuss the process of getting into character for the show, in which they play themselves.
