He’s posh and he knows it. Finlay Christie takes us through his checklist on how to be cool, relatable and relevant as a young person in 2024. Have a mental disorder, an interracial relationship and, of course, a struggle that’s worse than everyone else’s. This 25-year-old stand-up has his audience fully on board (which is surprising given that he doesn’t even have ADHD). Great comedic timing, some anecdotes about his upper-class upbringing and a mansplaining singalong make for an entertaining and well-written show.

Christie is one of the few Fringe comedians with a new Gen Z style of comedy that’s formed on years of social media and pop-culture knowledge. His self-awareness saves him from being criticised for poshness, and he shares some tone-deaf videos he made as a teenager, rapping about his generational wealth (which would get him cancelled if he wasn’t so embarrassed about it). The majority of his jokes are socially aware, apart from one line in which he criticises women for ‘posting pictures with their tits out’ on Instagram. But this is the only incident where his high-class ladness overrules his learned wokeness.
