Jemaine Clement On Flight of the Conchords, Marmite & British Comedy
Description
How awkward can filming a British comedy get? Jemaine Clement joins Romesh to discuss everything from New Zealand, comedy and touring. From starting at the Edinburgh Fringe, to creating one of the most loved series, Flight of the Conchords and working alongside Taika Waititi. They chat about Jemaine's new Disney+ comedy Alice and Steve, filming the upcoming Rogue Trooper movie with Matt Berry and the reality of life on set. Plus, there's a UK vs New Zealand Marmite taste test, a question from Shanthi, a game of Misquoted and the best Leonard Cohen impression you've ever heard. A Ranga Bee Production in partnership with Platform.
