About this episode

Finlay Christie discusses Gen-Z culture, his YouTube success, and his comedic influences.

This week the boays are joined by comedian Finlay Christie . Finlay discusses the differences in attitudes between his Gen-Z generation from the boays' millennial outlook, talks about his comedy sketches breaking through on YouTube Shorts, and how growing up with parents who worked in advertising influenced his ability to market himself online. Plus, Finlay discusses his viral sketches satirising Jimmy Carr and imagining a modern Peep Show, and talks about how posh he really is by revealing the number of bathrooms in his family home (and how one may be floored with wood from a Napoleonic ship) Finlay is performing his stand-up show Champagne Casanova at the Edinburgh Fringe at 10:40PM in Monkey Barrel Comedy until 30th August.
