Can laughter be a gateway to conversations about veganism?
In this episode, I'm joined by Steven Marcus Releford, stand-up comedian and founder of Plant-Based Comedy, to explore how humour can open the door to conversations about veganism, compassion, and animal advocacy.
Steven shares his journey into both veganism and stand-up comedy, how he ended up performing at vegan restaurants and animal sanctuaries, and why he believes laughter can be a powerful way to connect with people.
We also discuss what happens when non-vegans make jokes about vegans, whether comedy can help reduce defensiveness around the topic of veganism, and whether vegans sometimes take themselves too seriously.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Steven's journey into veganism and stand-up comedy
• The inspiration behind Plant-Based Comedy
• Performing at vegan restaurants and animal sanctuaries
• When non-vegans make jokes about vegans
• Using comedy as a gateway to conversations about veganism and animal advocacy
