He's set to star in the Australian version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? this year, but you can just add that to the pile of massive gigs New Zealand comic Rhys Darby has coming up in the back half of 2016, following today's announcement that the fan-favourite actor joins the Just For Laughs Sydney bill this September, among a few other big names. 

The Flight Of The Conchords star will take to the stage on the back of his sold-out show last year to host a gala exclusive to JFL Sydney. 

US comedian Jim Norton, best known as co-host of the Opie with Jim Norton and Gregg “Opie” Hughes radio show, also joins the festival in what will be his debut shows in the country, while local comic Tommy Little will return to host the returning Comedy Channel's Just For Laughs — The Stand Up Series.

The new names join a line-up that already features Trevor Noah, Margaret Cho and Natasha Leggero.
