Tim Batt, New Zealand comedy star, outrage merchant, talks with Alice in the Chinese Museum about courage and vulnerability on stage, shouting at street preachers, the use of 'boys' by young men. Blackface, golliwogs, American politics, local politics. Online activism, pros and cons, and who are the villains, really?
