Finlay Christie is a British comedian.
Education
Christie attended Forest School, Walthamstow, a private school in Greater London.[1]
Career
Christie started performing comedy at age six.[2] When he was fourteen he appeared on Blue Peter.[3] He was among the first wave of comedians that arrived at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from TikTok.[4] In 2019, Christie, aged nineteen, won the So You Think You're Funny competition, one of the youngest ever winners.[5]
As a member of Generation Z, his humour often plays on generational resentment,[6][7] and his first show "OK Zoomer" was a YouTube special.[8] He also plays off his privileged background.[4] Christie has appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Have I Got News For You.[9] [10]
