Is Fin vs The Internet Crossing a Line?

Fin Taylor joins me for a thoughtful and funny conversation about edgy comedy, intent, and why audiences in the room matter more than outrage on Twitter. Fin explains why he’s often positioned as a “Ricky Gervais alternative” in media coverage, and why he’s tired of being dragged into other comedians’ PR cycles. Instead, he argues that comedy should be judged on whether it actually works with a live audience. We also dig into the difference between being provocative for attention and doing the work to make a joke clear, nuanced, and hard to misinterpret, as well as caring about potential harm where Fin explains his approach: refining jokes until the intent is unmistakable, rather than avoiding difficult material altogether. It’s a rare, honest look at how comedians think about responsibility, offence, and confidence in their own writing. We also go behind-the-scenes as Fin talks about how he writes with his team, improvises during recordings, and collaborates with Vittorio and Horatio. 🔎 Listen to the full episode, search The Comedian's Comedian Podcast 🤝 Follow at   / comcompod   and   / comcompod   👀 Get exclusive extras and instant access to full video episodes at   / comcompod
