Brian Logan, The Guardian, 8th June 2017Comedian of the month #37, Fin Taylor
When a performer is confident on stage, both in material and in justification of views, audiences are immediately more inclined to trust them. It takes an astute comedian to tread the line between arrogance and self-deprecation in an interesting way, and this is where Fin Taylor's skill shines through. Fin casts his opinions with authority; the statements may sometimes be bold (university students aren't fully-formed people, for example) but he justifies them well. His reasoning is sensible, despite his initial declarations being met with laughter.
