Can laughter help us avoid climate catastrophe?DISSCO hosts a stand-up comedy academy to raise awareness about climate change.Climate change affects literally everyone. At the same time, we believe humor is a powerful tool to raise awareness and inspire action.That’s why, combining the two, we developed “Stand Up! for climate action”, a stand-up comedy academy that tackles climate change and environmental collapse by combining stand-up comedy and environmental awareness.The aim is to bring on stage diverse voices and perspectives on our current common predicament, and explore the potential of climate action with participants and members of the audience.Conceived as an academy where participants are trained on stand-up techniques as a communication tool, as well as engage in deep discussions about current environmental challenges, it culminates into an open mic stand-up comedy show that is co-created by comedians, scientists and activists.
