Career

Taylor began gigging in 2008. [2] He first took a solo show to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2014. [3] His three shows in successive years, Whitey McWhiteface, Lefty Tighty Righty Loosey, and When Harassy Met Sally, [4] led The Scotsman to call him "one of the most discussed, and critically lauded comedian of recent Edinburgh Fringes". [5] His comedic style is often described as "provocative" and antagonistic, though he has earned praise for his ability to "be both edgy and woke within the same joke." [6] [7]

He has made several appearances on Have I Got News for You [8] where his provocative comedic style caused controversy following jokes about Jeremy Corbyn and the Glastonbury festival. [9] In September 2022, he gained popularity for his British humour on the American NFL show Good Morning Football. [10]

Since 2024, Taylor has co-hosted a history podcast with Horatio Gould, called Fin vs History. [11]
