What Big Oil doesn't want you to laugh about, with Jessie Bluedorn

What if we could laugh at Big Oil culture, instead of cry? That’s what comedian, producer, and philanthropist Jessie Bluedorn tells Climate Curious’s co-host Ben Hurst she’s trying to do. The mission? Turning existential dread into existential joy. When it comes to tackling the global polluters with comedy, the founder of The Carmack Collective and Carmack Production explains “climate storytelling isn’t the broccoli". Stop trying to hide it on people’s plates, and instead cast Big Oil culture as the absurdist primetime punchline it really is. Jessie spills all on judo-flipping Big Oil’s PR into juicy on-stage satire, and how pop culture moves the cultural needle faster than any white paper. We also end with an exclusive snippet from the Carmack Productions ‘SLICK’ live event at New York Climate Week 2026.
