Finlay Christie - OK Zoomer - Full Comedy Special

I'M DOING THE EDINBURGH FRINGE 2024: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on...
This is my first comedy special. It's a collection of my favourite jokes about university, being Gen Z and reluctantly entering adulthood. I hope I've gone some way to writing a comedy special young people can relate to.
PAYPAL: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted...
I'm not monetising this video and it cost a fair bit to film. If you enjoyed it, and want me to support my comedy career, any donations at all would be appreciated! I would equally love if you just shared the special, and followed me on social media @finlaycomedy to find out about upcoming shows.
Big thank you to Sam Williams (for opening for me), Ben Kent (for filming it), Eric Rushton (always), and the Bill Murray Comedy Club (for hosting this special taping and being my local comedy club since I was a kid).

Great work, mate. Had me in stitches. The delivery was spot on. The societies bit reminded me of young Stuart Lee. 😂

Just seen your videos for the first time. Great stuff. Very funny.

[@shia_labeouf]

I'm 37 and I absolutely love Finlay. He genuinely does have a wide demographic because none of the jokes are mean-spirited or exclusionary. It's just positive and fun. It also makes me happy to see great young comedians like him coming through. I hope his career continues to flourish.

This dude is fearless. Showing your cringey kid self making awful jokes takes balls, and he didn't shy away from them either. He said he was proud of himself and he looked up to that kid. Mad respect.

[@sasha_alekseev]

The "private/state school" bit was hilarious, the combined science joke just sent me

[@justincase7848]

That was not only very funny but unexpectedly beautiful. In the course of making jokes about being young he ends up making a profound statement on the beauty of innocent youth's confidence and how that can carry us into our older years. Well done, Finlay. Oxford lost out ;)

[@texasred5665]

Met Finlay on the train to Bristol last year, he was very funny and surprisingly down to earth. Couldn't make it to his show as I had plans, but after this, I'm making it a priority. Try to see him now while you can still catch him at small venues!

there's emotion. great comedic timing, great tension, great contrarian takes, great props. proper comedy.

[@geminithetwins]

This is the most relatable genZ humor I've ever seen!! I always found his humor to be great, but this is next level! His genZ humor is not too genZ (constant use of ngl fr fs cheugy) and not too millennial that I can't relate to (like John Mulaney.. he's awesome but sometimes it is hard to relate to some of his contents). Finlay's jokes, on the other hands, goes with our life perfectly! I'm a 22 year old genZ, and sometimes I feel like a boomer hearing my friends chat or ppl on yt. So yeap, thank you for uploading this, and I hope you become your own Netflix show one day! Will def gonna watch that.

[@timewalker6654]

He is older genz born in previous century so he has much sane humor compare to young gen z kids

[@alorravex6672]

As an Aussie, I’ve never wished I lived in the UK before, but dang I wouldn’t mind it to go to one of Finlay’s shows

not worth it bruv, Finley is absolutely not representative of... The fucking Tories.

[@ammar85halabi]

You've told a wonderful story here.. generations, global issues, closing with your childhood and introspection. I love when comedy is a window to connect and think about things, and you've done it so well. What a funny, clever, and heartwarming set!

I tend to remember the melody of quotes, so when I find comedians who are funny and have a unique voice it sticks like glue. Such as yours. And this is the one I keep hearing whenever there’s something mildly related to it: “One girl in Sweden cared… and that made the news!”

[@aciuschristophores7789]

This guy is clearly decent (his jokes are never hyper offensive and always shows a genuine appreciation and love of humans and our funny sides) but what shines through most is just his utter Brilliance. Genuine question - did you go to Oxford in the end? Or like a Top uni like UCL/KCL?

[@thatboredaroace]

he answered it, he said "guess which one of us won" so he didn't go to Oxford, from the sound of it the uni he went to wasn't too great 💀

Absolutely loving it, I usually have hard time with comedy directed towards younger people but this is exactly the kind of self deprecating stuff that feels relatable, totally gonna keep following where your career takes you!

[@sipos0]

I'm 39 and I relate to a lot of Finlay's comedy. There are plenty of us older people who have fucked up our lives enough that we are not doing great by the standards of someone much younger, so it is nice to see he funny side of it. Being irresponsible and bad at life isn't just for the young.
