Column: Meet the comedians telling hilarious jokes about climate change

Lots of people enjoy laughing at billionaires — but it wasn't just any billionaires who were the targets of Esteban Gast's comedic jabs last week at the Crow, an intimate comedy club just off Metro's E Line tracks in Santa Monica. After admitting that a few years ago he vacationed at an all-inclusive resort , Gast marveled at the executives for whom unlimited margaritas weren't enough. 'They would be there and be like, 'Can I buy the plates?'' he riffed.

The comics — including Steve Agee, Nicole Byer and Kumail Nanjiani — mostly didn't tell climate jokes. But they wanted to support the cause. The week before the event, I asked Offerman how he'd decided to fundraise for NRDC. 'I am not a brilliant scientist, or really a brilliant anything, except maybe a shoveler. I am super good at shoveling, and luggage. I'm very good at carrying luggage. I can do 13 pieces, even through the Atlanta airport,' he said.
