Can an activist be a comedian? Or does it work the other way around. This week we explore these questions with Sean Bedlam, who's had a long time commitment to activist work in and around a variety of political issues and social justice concerns. And he's decided to add comedy to his campaigning repertoire. He tells Dirt Radio why.

Sean Bedlam & David Tulk's "Two Bearded Ladies" is on at the 2015 Melbourne Comedy Festival.
