Stuart Goldsmith: Canary (16+)

A stand-up comedy show by Stuart Goldsmith at the Glee Club in Birmingham, in which the comedian turns a close look at the climate crisis into humour about the apparent collapse of nearly everything.

Canary is a stand-up show by Stuart Goldsmith, who begins from a simple admission: they are as worried about the climate crisis as the audience is. Having done the reading, that concern has turned into alarm, and the hour turns the alarm into comedy about the apparent collapse of almost everything.

Goldsmith's television appearances include Live at the Apollo, Conan and the Netflix comedy showcase Netflix is a Joke. In this stand-up performance, the comedian makes jokes out of a grim subject while tracing a path from despair towards a more hopeful outlook, with the show's tone shifting as it goes on.

The Glee Club hosts concerts and shows in Birmingham, and it is the venue for this stand-up performance.
