About this show
Stuart was as scared about the climate crisis as you are. But he did the reading, and now he's terrified. Come and watch him do something about it. In his most honest, hilarious, and hopeful hour yet, Stuart Goldsmith (Live At The Apollo, Netflix is a Joke, Conan) applies his 'expert stand-up' (Sunday Times) to the apparent collapse of absolutely everything. 'The funny side of climate change… No, really!' (Times). * (Independent). * (BroadwayWorld.com). * (TheReviewsHub.com).
