The last Lord of the Rings movie came out in 2003 and these three NZ stand-up comedians are still riding that wave. They don’t have a single joke about hobbits, dragons or really any opinions on the works of Peter Jackson – they’re just using this as a marketing ploy. Although, they are travelling all the way to Edinburgh so, in a way, their journey is a lot like Frodo and Sam taking the ring to Mordor (We assume. We haven’t actually seen the movies).
