We heard about Sean Bedlam through his clever and humorous Instagram account, but we didn't realise he is a fully-fledged comedian, so that explains a lot. Sean reckons he has been masking his autism his whole life, but he only got diagnosed a couple of years ago. It's helped explain himself to himself a lot. Sean has done everything from photo lab work, to darkrooms, metal work to cancer. He also documents the occasional lefty protest. His latest comedic adventure is titled 'I'm autistic, plus I also had cancer'. Something like that. Check out Sean's Insta for better details at @seanbedlam. He's been documenting the Free Palestine Sunday rallies every single week for over a year, just like our beloved 3CR. He's one of the good ones. Thanks so much for joining us, Sean! Keep up the interesting and irreverent stories from the dark side of the city.Sean goofing it with a Mafalda (3CR) papier mache doll in the 3CR hallway. Smoochies!

SPECIAL EP!!! Here's a MEGA RETROSPECTIVE of YARD (sometimes known as Yelling At Racist Dogs) with Sean Bedlam, comedian & activist & co-founder of YARD. We go right through the history and strategy of YARD, and finish with a... YARD NAME CHANGE?! What the HELL? Listen and see! YARD, for those of you not familiar, is Australia's most obnoxious, shouty anti-fascist group. Founded in 2017, it is the Australian Tradition Which Has Always Existed, and it has mainly involved shouting at lots of rockstar racists and their shit punters, and being really annoying and irritating to them. It's been labelled as 'authoritarian terrorism' by Lauren Southern's tour organiser. Really though, it's, like, yelling. Relax. PLEASE LOVE ME!!!!!!

I spoke for 50 minutes and decided spending 8 hours editing it would be mental. Hi. I think it's good enough. It won't be for everybody. Have you seen what's for everybody? It's death. Literally everybody dies.
Ray Grenfell and Karun Cowper talk to Melbourne activist and funny man Sean Bedlam about his Fringe comedy gig "Death to America"..... "It is 2017. The United States of America has lost its mind. The world looks on as the American Dream becomes a nightmare. Should we let these idiots take us down with them? Obviously the answer is no, but you’ll be surprised to learn the solution includes nuking New Zealand. Come, let comedian-philosopher Sean Bedlam take you on a joke journey (or ‘jokeney’) to a beautiful land beyond the end of the world (obviously not New Zealand because we nuked it. Sorry about that, New Zealanders are really cool. We should stop making jokes about them). Because dreams can come true."

I managed to talk to Sean Bedlam. A comic that I get to know when I was in Melbourne. Sean Bedlam tells me why he lose his audience that he has in Youtube. We talked about gutter talk in when we were being students. I confessed that I don't have a Singapore accent. We try to understand why we don't feel comfortable with jokes about race.
