FRINGE 2019: Actions, not language, are what counts in feminism

Wayne Farry

Speaking to JOE at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019, comedian Jacob Hawley discusses feminism in the world of comedy and how working class people are often unfairly labeled as the primary instigators of sexism and misogyny.
