WILOSOPHY: Tom Ballard - It’s Hard To Be Funny Right Now

Today on Wilosophy, Tom Ballard returns! Mixing comedy and politics isn't anything new for Tom. But how do you be funny in times of tension and polarisation? That's the premise of Tom's new show, Be Funny Challenge (Impossible). In this episode, Tom and Wil discuss navigating the current political climate as comedians, activist art, and why joking doesn’t mean you don’t take important issues seriously. Tom also shares about his Melbourne Fringe play, JKS? a Comedy(?), which is getting a special run at MICF this year.
