After a 10-year hiatus, HBO is bringing back their One Night Stand
comedy series. They're filming these in NYC over the next few days
(actually from the 21st through the 26th I think) at the John Skirball
Performing Arts Theater at NYU (La Guardia & Washington Sq.
South). We went to tonight's second performance featuring Bonnie McFarlane and Flight of the Conchords.
All I can say is that Flight of the Conchords absolutely KILLED! Funniest comedy show I've ever been to, and one of the most enjoyable shows I've ever taken in. They had the entire crowd and got two standing ovations. Flight of the Conchords are a duo from New Zealand whose act is a very unique and quirky combination of music and humor. I'd never heard of them prior to tonight, but they've won some awards and have been a regular at the Edinburgh fringe festival. The Gothamist highly recommended them. Hats off to HBO for finding such talent. I'm a fan.
You can buy their CD here. And look out for the broadcast of their performance on HBO's One Night Stand this summer.
Finally, thanks to my friend Jason and his friend Amy for letting me know about the shows and getting tickets for my family and I. It was a treat.
