Christmas is traditionally the time of the live comedy DVD; every comedian with more than three opinions and an hour's worth of material will be releasing a title to cash in. Darby, best known for his role as Murray, the hapless manager in Flight Of The Conchords, has got in quick; he peppers his tales of childhood in New Zealand with sound effects, adding a homespun quality to his pathos-laden anecdotes of social ostracism. His oddball charm and beatboxing skills alone should make it a must-have for any comedy fan's Christmas list.
