Who Stuart Goldsmith is
Stuart Goldsmith is a British stand-up comedian who describes himself as a climate comedian, and the host since 2012 of The Comedian's Comedian podcast, for which he has interviewed more than 500 comedians about how they work. A So You Think You're Funny? finalist in 2005, he won the Malcolm Hardee Cunning Stunt Award at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe, and his climate-crisis show Spoilers won Best Show at the 2023 Leicester Comedy Festival and was long-listed for Best Show at the 2023 (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards.

His new show Canary played the 2026 Machynlleth Comedy Festival as a work in progress and took him on his first UK tour in nearly a decade, in autumn 2026.
