Finlay Christie is a rising star in British comedy, celebrated for his sharp wit and generational insights. He burst onto the scene in 2019 as one of the youngest-ever winners of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition at just 19 years old, joining the likes of Peter Kay and Sarah Millican.
Blending traditional stand-up with his TikTok-savvy edge, Finlay was among the first wave of creators to bring social media-driven comedy to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His debut show, 'OK Zoomer', premiered as a YouTube special in October 2023, racking up over 365,000 views and earning him a nomination for NextUp’s “Best Show” award. Chortle hailed him as “the voice of his generation,” thanks to his ability to capture the nuances of Gen Z life with charm and humour.
In 2024, Finlay’s follow-up show, 'I Deserve This', achieved critical acclaim, winning the Entertainment Now “WoW” award and securing a nomination for the ISH “Best Show” award. Beyond the stage, his YouTube channel boasts over 450,000 subscribers who tune in for his clever sketches and viral stand-up clips. He has created hit online series like 'When They Go to a Foreign Country in a Hollywood Film' and 'Asking Black and White People the Same Questions About…', while also producing branded content for top-tier companies like Amazon Prime and Branston.
Finlay’s talent extends to television, with appearances on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, The Stand-Up Sketch Show, and Comedy Central Live. He has performed internationally, including at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal. His first script, Born to Rule, was optioned by Boffola Pictures, and he is currently collaborating with Hat Trick Productions on a new project.
An accomplished actor, Finlay has also featured in shows like BBC2’s The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff and CBeebies’ Waybuloo. He is fluent in French and performed stand-up in Lyon for six months.
With his relatable storytelling and knack for finding humour in the everyday, Finlay continues to captivate audiences both online and on stage, solidifying his place as one of comedy’s most exciting new voices.
