Flight of the Conchords will reunite after eight years apart for a performance at the 2026 Netflix is a Joke Festival in Los Angeles. Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie’s revival of their musical comedy project at the biennial comedy festival’s third presentation will be the duo’s first show since July 2018, when they taped their HBO special and Sub Pop double album Flight of the Conchords: Live in London from the Eventim Apollo.

McKenzie and Clement met as students at Victoria University of Wellington and formed Flight of the Conchords in 1998. The duo earned a loyal following in New Zealand before courting international acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Comedy in 2002 and 2003, and in 2004, they created an award-winning six-part radio series for BBC Radio 2, which improvised a mix of songs and skits, featuring fellow New Zealander Rhys Darby and fictionalizing their pursuit of success abroad.

Flight of the Conchords broke through to mainstream acclaim with their self-titled HBO series in 2007, which expanded on the premise of their BBC show and moved their self-satirizing struggle for fame to New York City. Featuring an ensemble cast of Darby, Kristen Schall, Eugene Mirman, David Costabile, Sutton Foster and more, the program ran for two seasons, received 10 Emmy nominations, spawned two Grammy-nominated studio albums and became an enduring cult classic.

Flight of the Conchords took their show on the road most recently with a 2012 reunion tour. Venue details for their Netflix is a Joke performance and other possible live engagements have not been announced. Tickets for the now one-off performance will go on sale this Friday, Jan. 23, at 10 a.m. PT at netflixisajokefest.com.
