Series 2, Episode 6: Lea DeLaria

Lea DeLaria broke new ground when she became one of the first openly queer stand-up comedians to grace the US stage. She now plays ‘Big Boo’ in Netflix hit Orange is the New Black and tours the world singing jazz.

She talks to me about why she thinks Donald Trump is a fascist, how the Me Too movement has left out lesbians, and why the first step to changing the world is being our true selves.
