Hamilton-born comic Jesse Mulligan, who presents a television programme Seven Sharp, may find the joke is on him when he faces an invitation-only audience at the Wintec Press Club.
As one of the programme's three presenters, Mulligan has faced criticism and derision from critics who consider the programme 'the worstTV show made anywhere in the world'.
Mulligan, who went to Hillcrest High, will speak to about 100 guests at the newsmakers, media and student-dominated luncheon on May 10.
He is looking forward to spilling the beans about working on the programme.
Mulligan thinks the programme has been the most talked about local show since the soap Shortland Street.
"I'm looking forward to setting the record straight on a few things, sharing some of the stuff that nobody's heard about and talking about what it's been like in the eye of the storm.
"Hamilton is my home town and there's no place I'd rather open up and share some of what life's been like these last few months."
Wintec School of Media Arts editor in residence and press club host Steve Braunias is thrilled Mulligan accepted his invitation.
