The New Zealand International Science Festival kicks off one week from today and one of this year's marquee events is the Sci Fight Science Comedy Debate.
The format started up in Melbourne and has found a lot of success across Australia, so now the people behind it are keen to see if it catches on across the ditch.
Sci Fight brings together a mixture of scientists and comedians to battle their wits and debate serious issues in a ridiculous way.
It's happening on the 1st of July at Otago Museum's Hutton Theatre.
It will be hosted by Australian comedian and science communicator Alanta Colley. She speaks to Jesse.
