Comedy Night

Bude Climate Festival wraps up for 2024 with an evening of comedy. Yes, climate comedy is a thing!

STUART GOLDSMITH, supported by Kev Mud. Compere for the evening Becki Snarl.

Stuart Goldsmith is an internationally award-winning comedian, podcaster, speaker and comedy expert. Stuart specialises in performing stand-up relating to the climate crisis. His solo stand-up show ‘Spoilers’ won the prestigious Best Show 2023 at Leicester Comedy Festival and was one of the best-reviewed shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023, where he played to sellout audiences and received wide critical acclaim.

The Times praised Stuart’s “excellence” and his “intelligent, well-crafted act” whilst The List said: “he’s especially, piercingly funny on the hypocrisies we all indulge in.” Broadway World lauded the show for being “cathartic and well-crafted to nudge anyone, wherever they are on their own sustainability journey, that little bit more in a hopeful direction.”

Stuart performs his climate comedy at eco festivals and also at corporate events, to organisations across the UK and internationally. The purpose is to engage attendees in the important issue of sustainability and climate change; to send out a call to action and alleviate our collective dread by tackling a very serious subject via a very entertaining medium.

Becki Snarl
Laugh out loud lunacy, underpinned by an unnerving logic, Becki Snarl presents the comedy cutting edge of environmentalism with her unique style.
“All you could want from an act: hugely entertaining and hilarious and bringing an intelligence few comics dare to. Making the extreme extremely funny, the outrageous serenely palatable. She is one super bright animal.” Phil Kay “It’s so good to see something f*cking different for a change. Brilliant. This woman will go far” Terry Alderton.
