About Avalon Presents Fringe Comedy Previews: Matt Winning and Glenn Moore

An evening of two shows back-to-back (with an interval in-between) from stand-up comedians Matt Winning and Glenn Moore.

MATT WINNING

Dr Matt Winning is a London-based Scottish comedian and environmental economist who performs live climate change comedy.

Matt has a PhD in climate change policy and has been an active researcher, combining his two worlds of comedy and environmental issues in an attempt to help save the planet. In 2021 he published his book Hot Mess which encompasses these two worlds. Adam Kay described it as “a very funny, important and only moderately terrifying clarion call of a book”. He performed his latest stand-up show of the same name across the UK and was awarded Pick of the Fringe at Bedford Fringe Festival.

On TV, Matt appeared as the environmental correspondent on Dave’s Unspun with Matt Forde and has also featured in BBC Scotland shows The State of It and Scot Squad. On radio, he has most recently presented BBC Radio 4’s Net Zero: A Very British Problem which is a 4 part series. He has also guest appeared on a BBC Radio 4’s Best Medicine, The Now Show and BBC Radio Scotland’s Breaking The News.

Matt hosted the podcast Operation Earth and has a TEDx talk about the importance of using humour to discuss climate change.
