Want to pitch to us?
Firstly, we LOVE this for you. Get in touch! But before you do, here’s some advice about pitching to us. We’re essentially interested in content that is B.A.S.I.C:
If you’re worried you’re going in too hard on Jeff Bezos, please fear not. The editorial team are here to advise on making your content accessible whilst still getting your unadulterated POV out there. Don’t worry about stifling yourself early doors or trying overly hard to make it the funniest thing the world has ever seen – this will come in good time, and we won’t share anything until we’re happy that it’s in the best shape it can be. Go wild, and we’ll advise you on reining it in if you’re being unduly horrible…if it’s to someone who doesn’t deserve it.
Example: Which beloved cinematic heroes are murdering Mother Earth?
Humour famously doesn’t age so well. Nor does ‘breaking news’. So time is absolutely of the essence. If you’re writing about something that has recently happened, we’ll do our best to prioritise sharing it whilst it’s still trending or at least relevant. In the same vein, we ask that you think carefully about who your content criticises. We are interested in punching up and challenging systems of structural oppression, and not so much in @ing whichever influencer has had the most recent Twitter fallout.
Examples: Emily in Paris (in plastics) /// 5 types of water we hope is on the moon
This is a comedy platform, so don’t be afraid to be tongue in cheek or play with ~tone~. We have had multiple contributors write in character before, so adopting a persona is definitely on the cards, and it’s totally up to you how you’d like your work to be credited too.
Examples: Top 5 tips for billionaire philanthropists /// Everything I learned keeping chickens so you don’t have to
The material should be well-researched, and contain links to sources for any Bold claims that are made (NB: bold claims are absolutely to be encouraged, and anything from a reputable online source will work). If you’ve got unsubstantiated content, we have a research editor on board to help make your case stronger – but please, do your research and make her job easier, or you might receive a pass-agg email or two.
Examples: Which sustainable shopper are you? /// Want your period to feel less pants?
We are very open to different formats! If you want to write a poem or short story, draw comics or illustrations or make video content, we are very happy to be flexible to your particular needs. If you have a very specific set of skills, just let us know and we’ll do our best to utilise them.
Examples: Sustainable, ethical, 100% recycled black bicycle shorts! /// 10 things to do with your keep cup now you’re working from home /// What’s so funny about climate change?
TOPICS
We’re open to anything relating to the climate crisis, whether it’s about literal science, global politics, or the day to day experiences and general slog of trying to live sustainably.

Writers
Alison Middleton
Alison has a PhD in theatre and humour theory, and the positive impact that transformative comedic narratives can have upon inspiring change. She has taught at multiple universities, and developed Oxford’s first bespoke stand-up comedy module. She regularly performs improvised comedy in London, and she is currently training in counselling and psychotherapy.
Rosalie Minnitt
Rosalie Minnitt is an award-winning writer and performer. Her debut comedy show, Clementine, has transferred to Soho Theatre 4 times and was listed in the Guardian’s Top 10 shows of 2023 and the Times’ Cultural Highlights of 2025. In 2025, she won the Funny Women Shorts Award and the Chorts Judges Award.
Sully Rahim
Hi, I’m Sully (he/him). Comedy and climate change both — amongst many other things — give me huge amounts of anxiety. So, what better way to allay my worries than to share the fruits of my bleak, anxiety-riddled brain with other people — misery does love company after all!
Sandy Loam
Sandy is a typical Greenwich housewife. After studying etiquette and entitlement at Bates College, she married her first husband and moved to Connecticut. The couple live happily with their two Yorkshire Terriers and Filipino pool boy. Sandy is passionate about the environment and estate taxes. She hopes that by contributing to The Dump she can give the working class something to admire and aspire towards.
Ambika Mod
Ambika is an actor, comedian and writer, who has written comedy for BBC Radio 4 and appeared on BBC’s The Mash Report. She was a Funny Women 2020 Semi-Finalist and stand-up ‘One To Watch’, and is currently one half of 5* comedy duo, Megan from HR. (critically acclaimed at the Edinburgh Fringe and, soon, Soho Theatre). She’s vegan and cried a lot at David Attenborough’s most recent documentary on climate change, so is fully quailified to be here.
Elliot Howard-Spink
Elliot is a PhD Student studying the cognition and evolution of wild primates. As such, he has spent multiple evenings in the rainforest, laying under the stars wondering “why, dear god, did I decide to do this?”. Elliot doesn’t have many formal accolades under his belt; he is, therefore, a comedian of the people. A clown for the every-person. He belongs at The Dump because he is, indisputably, trash.
Fran Best
Fran loves comedy and hates (climate) change. Fran misses going to grimy clubs and getting a photo taken whilst you’re really too sweaty to get a photo taken and then cropping out your friends when you look surprisingly ok in it and you need a bio pic.
Tristan Robinson
Tristan is a comedian, actor and writer specialising in comedy, acting, writing and comedy. Recently promoted to senior partner in sketch duo Rompers, he lives in the North East if you can believe it and likes the idea of Planet Earth continuing to be alive.
Bróccán Tyzack-Carlin
Bróccán is a poet and comedian from Hartlepool. His 5* debut show “Dont Bother” toured to Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton Fringe and loads of other places that you didn’t bother to turn up to. It also won a Saboteur Award (oppa Trapped style). He is a multiple slam winner and has performed his work at the Royal Albert Hall. His closest friend is a small dog named Veronica. He is one half of the infamously craven sketch duo Rompers.
Polly Mackintosh
Polly is a writer who is currently communicating executively for a food media company. She therefore loves food, hates waste and the destruction of the planet, and likes her milk oaty (most of the time). She is not a comedian but has on occasion been complimented on her jokes.
Olley Matthews
Olley has been vegan for 6 years and performing comedy for less time than that. He strongly believes it’s ethically wrong to cause harm to sentient beings for your own personal enjoyment, which makes it hard to explain why he’s still doing comedy.
Rhys Rodrigues
Rhys is Capricorn from South-West London (but was raised a Virgo). After studying music at Durham University, he began work within the theatre industry, which is famously thriving right now. Rhys has so far successfully become a vegan and hopes this article will encourage you to take the plunge.
Sujay Nair
Sujay would like to think that he’s doing a PhD in mathematical physics, though some part of him knows he’s fallen too far down the rabbithole of lockdown baking. Apart from indulging in a bit of climate-induced existential angst, he likes to, occasionally, watch a film or two – which makes him more qualified than the average IMDB user (probably).
