This week on Everybody in the Pool , we’re continuing Storyteller Summer with a stand-up comic who proves you can turn any job into a climate job — even one that usually involves jokes about socks. Our guest is Stuart Goldsmith , a veteran stand-up comedian and host of The Comedian’s Comedian podcast, who now focuses almost entirely on the climate crisis. But instead of lectures or charts, Stuart brings humor, humility , and a healthy dose of self-deprecation to a topic that’s often overwhelming. We talk about: The long, strange road from Covent Garden street performer to climate comedy evangelist Why “the problems are the material” — especially when it comes to eco-anxiety The art of bombing (a lot) while trying to make ocean acidification funny Making your own hypocrisy the butt of the joke Why climate storytelling needs more action and less guilt Also: sticky jokes, snow leopards, tariff metaphors, LinkedIn mic drops, and the surprisingly dark comedy of unaffordable insurance premiums. This is climate storytelling at its smartest and most disarming. (And if you’re hiring a climate comic, please drop this man a line — his American clients have all fled!)
