For decades Barry Crimmins has been one of the nation’s most potent social and political satirists. Now his work is being exposed to a wider audience thanks to a new documentary about his life titled “Call Me Lucky,” directed by fellow comic and admirer Bobcat Goldthwait.

In this exclusive TYTInterview from the KPFK studios in Los Angeles, Crimmins and fellow comedian Jimmy Dore discuss:

– Barry’s advice for young comics and how to “take the stage.”
– Bringing leftist political comedy to the remote south.
– What Pope Francis could do to prove he’s not about lip service and is REALLY interested in reforming the Catholic Church.
– The Catholic Church molestation scandal and why there are never any “perp walks” for bishops.
– Why comics who are proud to be “politically incorrect” are full of shit.
– How surviving being raped as a child drove his activism to protect the victims of child molestation (and how he shamed AOL into shutting down child pornography trading on the site).
– Why a documentary about him is rightfully titled “Call Me Lucky.”
