In addition to her role on the Flight of the Conchords series, Schaal’s film and TV credits include Law & Order, South Park, Kate & Leopold and the upcoming Toy Story 3. Kristen Schaal, who plays Flight of the Conchords’ fan-turned-stalker Mel on the BBC series, will open the tour dates from 5/3 through 5/15. We'll also be visiting our old friend Ireland, an acquaintance that we had an uneasy first date with called 'The Netherlands' and some countries we have never met called Norway and Sweden." "Now, we're coming back to say we're sorry. That was five years ago," quipped Jemaine Clement. But then one night, some heated words were said and Flight of the Conchords left in a huff. In some ways you could say we got our start there, and we were always over at the U.K's house. "Flight of the Conchords has had a great relationship with the U.K in the past. 2009’s I Told You I was Freaky received a 4/5 in The Sun, 8/10 in NME, and a 4/5 in Time Out London. This followed their 2007 Grammy win for the EP The Distant Future in the same category. In 2008 Flight of the Conchords released their self-titled full-length debut which has gone on to achieve Gold status in the UK and was nominated for a Grammy for best comedy album, furthermore, the duo also received 2 Emmy nominations the same year for Best Writing (Comedy Series) and Best Directing (Comedy Series). This success led to the band’s BBC 2 radio series, earning the pair the Bronze Sony Radio Academy Award for comedy. Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, the comedic musicians who together are Flight of the Conchords, first came onto the European scene after being nominated in 2003 for the Edinburgh Comedy Festival’s prestigious Perrier Prize. Comedians and fellow Flight of the Conchords actors Kristen Schall and Arj Barker are set to open each night.
