Rhys Darby returns to New Zealand for two huge milestones

Rhys Darby is back in New Zealand. Why is Kiwi comedy star Rhys Darby back in New Zealand? Popular island spot Wild Estate Vineyard in Onetangi has secured Darby for an exclusive one-off New Zealand show with an intimate audience of only 200 tickets. “The show is called ‘25 Years’ - it is a celebration of my stand-up career,” say Darby. The production company for his road trip show, Stripe Studios, made headlines last month with the New Zealand Herald’s Media Insider column, penned by Shayne Currie, reporting Stripe for unpaid bills.
