Rhys Darby

Best known in the U.S. as Bret and Jemaine's happy-go-lucky agent on Flight of the Conchords, this New Zealander is a live wire onstage: He vents his spleen physically, acting out weird scenarios from the world around him or his childhood (complete with sound effects). His accented attempts to convince an automated banking system that he just wants his "akant bellence" is one of the funniest bits we've seen in the past five years.
