Comedy vs Poetry Face/off - NZ Fringe

Since the dawn of time, two creative powerhouses have competed for bragging rights: Stand-up comedians and Poets. Who is more in touch with the human experience? Who can transform a room? And ultimately...who is funnier!? We intend to find out! 5 nights, 3 poets and 3 comedians go head to head each night - the audience decides who is funnier! Two-thirds entertainment, one-third curiosity, let's get ready to Face/Off!
