Finlay Christie (comedian) explained
Finlay Christie is a British comedian who won the 2019 edition of the So You Think You're Funny stand up competition as a 19-year-old.
He was among the first wave of comedians that arrived at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from TikTok.[1]
Christie started performing comedy at age 6.[2] As a member of Generation Z, his humour often plays on generational resentment,[3] [4] and his first show "OK Zoomer" was a YouTube special.[5] He also plays off his privileged background.
