Their show might have ended, their former manager may be out in the world selling computer hardware, but Flight of the Conchords seem to be doing okay when it comes to "business time" (that's not a euphemism).

The pair's forthcoming European tour has added extra dates in both London and Manchester - in the capital they will now finish with a sell-out show at the 12,500 capacity Wembley Arena, having already played two gigs at the 4000-capacity Hammersmith Apollo. Tickets to their two shows at the 1300-capacity Olympia Theatre in Dublin sold out in 20 seconds while in Britain, ticket resale sites are demanding prices between £95 and £225 ($200- $480) for sold-out shows.

As well as Britain, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clements will head to the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, where, of course, they are taken seriously as a folk duo, the whole comedy element having been lost in translation.
