Matt Winning: Solastalgia
Event details
Join us for Storyhouse Comedy Nights.
Solastalgia (noun, sol-a-stal-gi-a): the emotional, physical, or existential distress caused by environmental change to the place you call home. A blend of solace and nostalgia, it’s also the title of a brand-new climate comedy storytelling lecture from Dr Matt Winning – host of Net Zero: A Very British Problem (BBC Radio 4).
Following multiple sell-out Edinburgh Fringe runs and a performance at COP28 for BAFTA, Matt brings his sharp, hilarious take on the climate crisis to the stage. Expect big laughs, surprising insights, and a timely reminder to protect what you love.
“Everything a Fringe show should be: hilarious, personal, inventive, and something that will stay with you for some time to come.” ★★★★★ – EdFestMag.com
Directed by Ben Target.
