This event is part of the 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
The Sexy Environmentalist is a high-octane mix of environmentalism and ‘sexiness’ in a last-ditch effort to unite humanity and save the planet!
Time is running out, but (according to Steve) the green movement has its tactics wrong. We’re not going to change the world by making people feel guilty about their life choices. Instead we have to make environmentalism attractive to the masses. And this Sexy Environmentalist is just the man to do it.
Growing up in Malta, the most guilt-ridden Catholic country in the world, Steve rebelled, turning against his upbringing and embracing all things sinful. In the meantime, the climate is in crisis and now, devastation edges ever closer.
Throwing himself into the green movement, Steve realises to his dismay that they are employing the same old ‘guilt’ tactics to try to change people’s behaviour. And so, armed with the knowledge that guilt doesn’t work, Steve embarks on a new way to save the world. A sexier way.
Combining interactive activism(ish), stories from Steve’s time on the green front and even an intervention from the Stormy Daniels (who, Steve argues, would be a better leader of the green movement than Greta Thunberg), this filthy but heartfelt hour will be the most important show you’ll see this year!
