About this episode

If we are serious about doing something about the climate crisis, we have to talk about eating meat. Ask Umbra talks to some of the most serious folks around about the subject: comedians. Dave Attell (Insomniac), Lizz Winstead (Co-creator ‘The Daily Show”), Gary Gulman (Last Comic Standing) and Myq Kaplan (Vegan Comedian and NY’s Funniest Standup Winner) spoke with Umbra at a Comedy for Karma benefit for the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary at Gotham Comedy Club in New York.
