Fin Taylor - Cancellation, Boarding School, Fin vs History and Bonnie Blue

Fin Taylor is a comedian and podcaster. Fin joins me back in Glasgow to talk elite schools, why TV comedy’s lost its juice, and how he built a cult audience by treating the internet like a stage. We go deep on craft vs. art, parasocial weirdness, the Riyadh debate, being punched on stage, and the playbook he’d use if he were starting again today.
