Flight of the Conchords are a New Zealand-based comedy duo composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. The duo´s comedy and music became the basis of a BBC radio series and then an American television series that aired for two seasons on HBO. They previously referred to themselves as “New Zealand´s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo“, but as of 2014 refer to themselves as “the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand.“

They were named Best Alternative Comedy Act at the 2005 US Comedy Arts Festival and Best Newcomer at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and they received a nomination for the Perrier Comedy Award at the 2003 Edinburgh Festival Fringe for their show at Edinburgh venue The Caves. The duo´s live performances have gained them a worldwide cult following.
