How did EnviroComedy come to life?
In 2015 Fernando was hired to direct an environmental comedy drama for three schools in the Kavango region in the North of Namibia. Fortunately, the play was a big success. Afterwards he started writing the EnviroComedy concept to EduVentures Trust, asking for help to do this in a stand-up comedy way. That’s where it all started. EduVentures consists of a lot of creative beings. One of our goals is to continue creating new methods to educate through fun and entertainment hence why EnviroComedy became such a big project. Above all, we still have a lot of ideas and want to continue to expand the whole EnviroComedy concept.
What exactly is EnviroComedy?
Enviro Comedy is a Project that serves to create awareness on environmental issues like, Climate change, Poaching, deforestation and so on. The idea is to entertain the people on serious and important issues while being amused. Many of the time listeners tend to get bored and sleep when the speech or the teaching method is too formal. This method is also known as Edutainment.

How did you start thinking of becoming a comedian?
I believe I was born with this talent! As a little kid, I was always the funny one. In High school, I was not even allowed to ask questions, because every time I would ask, my classmates would think I’m being sarcastic and the whole class would start laughing! That just motivated me.
How do you do EnviroComedy?
EnviroComedy is important because it teaches through entertainment. Everybody laughs, and environmental problems are global problems-everybody needs to learn about them. Imagine educating serious issues and adding a sense of homor to it!
Where do you get your ideas?
I don’t sit and think about it. That would take way to much time. The content I create just comes through my daily experiences. I go out on the streets, I meet people, I see commercials or I’m on social media. Often I see something funny and I just put it into an environmental context.

In the end it’s all about content quality control. Every joke is analyzed and approved by adventures stuff before taken to stage. I’m a comedian, not environmental expert. Every time I write a joke I need to consult an environmentalist to see if the message is scientifically correct, so I don’t send out the wrong message.

What do you think, what can comedy offer to the puplic except for laughter?
Comedy offers a way to think out of the box, question ourselves and all parts of the society. that we otherwise wouldn’t do. It offers an outsiders perspective of life and our attitude towards everything. Comedy has the ability to convey sensitive messages. Nobody likes to be criticized for their behavior, but, for example, if people can laugh at known situations, I promise, most of them will think about the message later and may even act differently in the same situation.
