Stand-up show by Finlay Christie, headlining his New Super Special Secret Tour, in which he works through his career highlights and personal history.
Finlay Christie is playing Monkey Barrel Comedy on Sunday 22 November, as part of his New Super Special Secret Tour. It's a headlining date, so he's the only name on the bill that night.
The show is an hour of him humblebragging about his search for meaningful, authentic connection. It's a bit of a self-aware premise — the joke being that he's talking about how hard it is to find something genuine while spending the whole time telling you how well he's doing. He works through his career highlights and personal history in front of an Edinburgh audience, so it's as much about where he's been as what he's talking about.
If you've followed his work, you'll recognise the pattern: he takes a personal obsession and pulls it apart until it becomes something a bit more universal. This one lands on the idea of connection, and he spends the hour circling it, mixing the career milestones with the more private, personal stuff. It's the kind of set that works best when you're close enough to see the performance and the person behind it at the same time.
