Rhysently Granted were a musical comedy duo consisting of New Zealand comedians Rhys Darby and Grant Lobban. Grant played bass guitar while Rhys provided the main vocals. Shortly after forming Rhysently Granted won an open mic contest at the Southern Blues Bar and they then began performing more frequently at local venues in the Christchurch area. Rhysently Granted performed in two New Zealand comedy festivals which led to Rhys moving up to Auckland in 1999 to seek more solo stand-up experience. The duo officially split around 2001 with Darby moving overseas to pursue his solo career and Lobban staying in New Zealand to focus on his own comedy material.
