If you cancel up to one week before the course starts, you'll get a total refund. If you cancel after that or during the course, we refund you up to 50% of your fee if you are under halfway through the course, or if you are beyond that, we invite you to re-take the course again.
How many classes of a course can you miss? Ideally none. We understand that sometimes things come up that make missing a class unavoidable. If you are going to miss a class, tell your facilitator. You are able to miss up to 2 of the first 4 classes in a course, as long as you keep up with the homework and you work with the facilitator to keep on track. The final 2 classes are mandatory as is the show.
Sometimes, and very rarely, there is a mismatch between what we are trying to nurture in the course, and a participant involved. If this is the case, it is our call to invite a person to leave and revert to the refund policies above/below.
If individual participants from an in-organisation course cancel up to two weeks before the course starts, there is no penalty. If a participant cancels after that, they must refund the organisation personally for their course fee.

Please note that the maximum number of classes you can miss are two, IF you keep up with the homework. Beyond that, we will suggest that you defer to a future course.
Conferences. Got a big cool or boring sustainability-themed conference?
Humour is so important to our psychological well being, especially when we face difficult and often overwhelming concepts. Sometimes what we need is for someone to speak the truth about how hard the human side to all this is, while being wildly funny.
I do highly engaging conference keynotes.
We can put together a few wonderful, and very funny subject matter experts for your conference.
We will send you information tailored to your interests.
Reminder: Sustainable Stand Up is a project of Maffick.com.
Sustainable Stand Up is a project by Maffick Ltd.
We create inspiring courses where you discover a safe environment and new friends. Where you develop and hone stand up material, in a loving, clear way, on stuff that matters.
We showcase our course participants, as well as the best of today's and tomorrow's stand up comedy on sustainability issues.
We help connect alumni scientists, sustainability experts, science communicators and others from around the world with each other.
We offer our stand up comics to major sustainability events and conferences.
"I need to reach people about the deadly serious impacts of climate change. But I don't want to drive them away with gloom and doom. Belina and my wonderfully supportive classmates helped me discover the hilarity in my work and connect with the audience about something that really matters, to me and the world."
"I absolutely loved the supportive atmosphere and the we're all in it together mentality that was built into our class... I was able to create a solid five minute set and muster the courage to get up on that stage alone. Thank you Belina for starting my stand up journey on a high note!"
"... gave me the confidence to get up in front of people, the tools for success in stand up and to break into doing improv. Belina is just an amazing teacher..."
We help people who do good in the world to do that better.
We help people to combine stand up comedy, playfulness, content about stuff that matters, a focus on positivity and inclusion, and love.
When combined, these are wildly powerful forces to get important information across.
Join us and stand up for things that matter.
