Fin Taylor: The Pre-emptive Comeback Special tickets and regional UK dates

Fin Taylor brings The Pre-emptive Comeback Special to UK theatres. Following his chart-topping podcast Fin vs History and television work including Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You, he returns to live stand-up in what is billed as his biggest tour yet.

What the show is about

The title captures the central conceit: Taylor is staging a comeback before any public downfall has taken place. Having built an online following through his podcast Fin vs History and his interview series Fin vs the Internet, the show frames his return to the live stand-up stage as a deliberate hedge against whatever the future might bring.

His advertised television credits include Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You. Online, he is also known for the interview series Fin vs the Internet and podcast Fin vs History.
