Show Notes
What’s funny about climate change, you might think if you spot comedian Stuart Goldsmith’s job title.
The answer is, of course, nothing, but after a long and successful career as a performer and stand-up comedian Stuart found himself wanting to talk about just one thing - climate change.
So how does that pan out when you need to be paid for laughs? And who is in the audience when Stuart is delivering his message?
How do you even start a career like Stuart’s? And if you’re young, how do you sell the idea to your parents and teachers, who might think you should go out and get a ‘proper’ job?
Stuart answers all these questions and more, plus he explains why he started his podcast interviewing comedians and what to do if you want to have a values-led career.
