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

Great show! Looking forward to moving to the UK to watch it live :)

[@spongmincer6937]

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.

[@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 ;)

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!

You know, it was normal once... Sad they decided that solo stand up concerts are to be no more, for most part.

Been enjoying the skits and the street interviews, and really liked this too. One day you'll be the stand-up comedian who can say he's 100% been performing bis jokes to audiences the longest out of anyone.

[@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!

[@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 💀

[@Samuel-ku1qb]

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!”

[@GameyRaccoon]

[@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

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.

[@boiledelephant]

It's nice to see that each generation produces what it needs. My generation needed contrarian bite, political incorrectness and fierce rationality to counteract the stifling, coddling, positivity and censoriousness of the 90s. His generation needs some empathy, optimism and a rediscovery of a capacity for forgiveness to counteract the divisions and tensions of the culture wars and the doomscape of climate change and political degradation. And people like him are coming up to provide it.
