Episode #505: Stuart Goldsmith

Stuart Goldsmith is a British stand-up comedian who has performed on BBC’s Live At The Apollo (BBC), Conan, and Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central. He began his career as a street performer at age 17, and over the course of 32 years at the Edinburgh Fringe, has evolved into one of the world’s preeminent climate comedians, speaking at global conferences about our world’s ongoing climate crisis through his humorous perspective. His first climate-based comedy hour, Spoilers, won Best Show at the 2023 Leicester Comedy Festival, and his newest show, Canary, relates to his role as the proverbial canary in the coal mine. He’s taking Canary on tour across the UK this autumn. And he’s also more than 500 episodes into his own podcast, “The Comedian’s Comedian.” So what happens when the host of The Comedian’s Comedian podcast meets The Comic’s Comic’s podcast? Thankfully, we spend more time learning how not to compete, how to love comedy, and how to know that while we may not be famous, we can still be very special. There’s a lot to get to, so let’s get to it!
