2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Fin Taylor: Lefty Tighty Righty Loosey
Head to Fin Taylor's show to hear a refreshingly different take on topics such as terrorism, politics and white privilege. There are huge laughs to be had in this fast-paced show. Get your tickets quick, because the Tron basement isn't huge, and as word-of-mouth continues to spread, it'll soon be sold out.
The most talked about comedian from last year's Fringe is back. He's still white, and you're still hippies. Something's got to give. And I'm not blacking up. It's been a globe-trotting year for Whitey. He's been to America, Australia, Holland and the rest. All over, he's found people who say they're too left wing to vote for centrists and he's decided to call bull. A man who is now politically homeless drags you dropouts down into his gutter. ***** (Scotsman). ***** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Thought-provoking and side-splitting' (Independent). 'The most relevant comedian at the Fringe' (EdFestMag.com).

A new wave of comedians probing faults in leftwing politics provoke a crucial debate, but does their exaggerated antagonism hamper the cause?
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th August 2017Why Fringe comics don't care about May, Trump & Brexit
In a sweaty Edinburgh cellar a bearded young comedian is telling us about the joys of deciding to stop being left-wing for a while. It is, we assume,
a joke. After all, the comedian concerned, Fin Taylor, spent his previous Edinburgh hour, Whitey McWhiteface, lecturing us about the woes of white privilege, albeit while owning up to being one of its beneficiaries. This is just another ironic pose, right, the precursor to some dismissive material about the usual baddies - Brexit, May and Trump?
With Brexit, what has happened to our sense of humour?
From Brexit gags to feminist shows, left-leaning audiences, when faced with awkward political issues, can often be ostentatiously po-faced.
