Description

Comedy opens the mind and helps us cope with the sheer strangeness of being alive. But is climate change a suitable topic for comedy? In this micro episode of Your Brain on Climate, I chat to Stuart Goldsmith - stand-up par excellence and host of the Comedian's Comedian podcast - about what he's learned from trying to to do jokes about the state of the planet. 

If you liked this episode, here's the full chat with Stuart from back in 2023. 

I use a clip from Stuart's set on Live at the Apollo earlier this year.
