Rhys Darby is returning to his roots. 

In the last decade, Kiwis have gotten more used to seeing the comedian on the big screen than on the stage, but that’s about to change. 

Darby has announced his first comedy tour in more than a decade, returning to Kiwi stages next year with ‘The Legend Returns’. 

He told Mike Hosking that he can’t wait to hit the stage again. 

“I had the most fun, like in the last six months, getting ready for the show,” Darby said. 

“I’m still working on material, and now I’m really, really confident.” 

Darby’s been doing a few gigs in the US as he prepares, but the show he plans to bring our way is still being created and workshopped.  

“I found out recently that I’m really good at creating stuff on the spot for my shows,” he revealed. 

“A lot of my previous shows were quite scripted, and they would have a narrative and I, you know, but this one... I’m really feeling much more loosey goosey and having fun with the audience.” 

Tickets for 'The Legend Returns' are on sale from today.
