Kiwi comedy duo Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement (aka Flight of the Conchords) try Movember on for size.

The now famous international comedy duo want to show their support for Movember and the New Zealand Cancer Society to fund prostate cancer research and support services, and the New Zealand Mental Health Foundation’s ‘Out of The Blue’ programme to help men experiencing depression.

Continuity of filming the hit TV show in the United States prevents the comedy duo from growing Mo’s of their own, but nonetheless, the Kiwi Mo Bros are keen to try the Mo on for size and encourage Kiwi’s to get behind Movember.

In a recent US visit the Movember crew asked Bret and Jemaine some hairy questions:

What does a moustache say about a man?

Bret: “He’s a sex machine.”

Jemaine: “His top lip is prepared for any weather. It has a shade when it’s hot and a blanket when it’s cold.”

Who has the best moustache ever and why?

Bret: “Salvador Dali. He used it as an antenna to the surreal world.”
Jemaine: “Ernest Rutherford.”

With just under two weeks to go it’s not too late for men to get their grow on, or to donate online.

Participants can register at www.movember.com as an individual or a team (that includes all the ‘Mo Sistas’ out there). Each person or team registering is allocated a number that friends, family and co-workers can use to donate funds online.
