EDINBURGH 2017: Review: FIN TAYLOR: LEFTY TIGHTY RIGHTY LOOSEY, Just The Tonic

Fin Taylor is back with a new show after last years sold out Whitey McWhiteface which focused on the issues around white privilege. This year Lefty Tighty Righty Loosey focuses on the political alignments of the UK - once again heading along a road towards controversy.

Taylor has recently survived the worst week of his life - a terrible long haul flight, the end of a long term relationship and an alarming medical scare. He has since been enjoying modern dating and all that Tinder has to offer and has decided to give himself some time off from being a moany liberal left winger. This personal narrative allows him to cover issues of political correctness and gender equality with some clever observations.

But don't be fooled - Taylor has some big points to make but he's careful to pack the show with well crafted jokes and ironic high fives following more unsavoury hypotheses which get huge laughs.

I found Lefty Tighty Righty Loosey a breath of fresh air in a market over saturated with anti-right comedians who just seems to be going with whatever their liberal audiences want to hear. Taylor is standing in the face of that and simply asking why? If you are offended, you are probably part of the problem.
