Climate change is taking centre stage in a fresh and funny way.

Wycombe Friends of the Earth is teaming up with comedian Matt Winning for Stand-Up To Climate Change, an evening of environmentally themed comedy at Wycombe Arts Centre on Friday, June 5.

Mr Winning, an environmental economist and ‘climate comedian’ who has hosted on BBC Radio 4 and performs at the Edinburgh Fringe, promises to make climate issues engaging and accessible.

Wycombe Friends of the Earth said: “Matt Winning brings his own Stand Up Scots humour to Wycombe, in an evening making climate change accessible and relevant to everyone.

“Matt, an environmental economist and climate comedian who has hosted on Radio 4, performs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and given keynote talks at numerous industry events, will bring the audience an enjoyable evening with the benefits of his knowledge and ability as a clear communicator.”

The event begins at 7.45pm, with vegan food, a bar and environmental stalls available from 6.30pm.
