We’re back in Regent’s Park with Stuart Goldsmith!

Stuart tells us all about how his love of the Edinburgh Fringe, how he feels about vulnerability in comedy and how he deals with comparing himself with his peers.

We also discuss Stuart’s new obsession - using stand up comedy to talk about the climate. Stuart tells us why he’s chosen to tackle such a scary, complicated subject in his comedy - and why it might just be the best way to communicate a very crucial message.

Today, we’re walking in glorious Regent’s Park with the wonderful comedian Stuart Goldsmith.

As well as having an incredibly successful and critically-acclaimed career as a stand-up, Stuart is pretty much the OG of podcasting - he started his podcast The Comedian’s Comedian in 2012. Today - we’re turning the interview tables on him!

Stuart and his family are based in Bristol - and he doesn’t have a dog, and is - in fact - allergic to dogs! However, we’re pretty convinced that once Stuart’s kids take a look at Raymond they’re going to have to convince him to get one.

Stuart tells us about his rather fabulous career progression - from court jester to street performer to stand-up - Stuart really knows everything about comedy. In this chat, he shares some of what he’s learned from interviewing over 500 comedians on his podcast.
