Rhys Darby: The Legend Returns

Tuesday 22 April, 8pm

Presented by Bohm Presents & Awesomeness International

The Kiwi icon returns to the stage with a brand new stand-up show for 2025. In a world full of AI and Robot tech can a simple dad with slightly tight jeans stay relevant? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes!

Rhys hopes to prove that right now a touch of very human silliness is more important than ever!? Perhaps his unique human skills once thought of as absurd, might just be useful after all!

Recommended for ages 15+. No babes in arms. All patrons required a valid ticket for entry, regardless of age.

Running time 80 minutes plus interval. Times are approximate and subject to change without notice.
