Fin, Like the End of a French Film

A debut solo hour of stand up comedy about being queer and upsetting your Dad.

The image depicts a person sitting in a bathtub while fully dressed in a wet suit and tie. They have disheveled hair and are holding a drink in one hand, looking somewhat dazed or contemplative. The setting is a plain, tiled bathroom, and water is still running from the faucet, adding to the chaotic, perhaps melancholic atmosphere. The overall vibe suggests a dramatic or surreal moment, with a touch of dark humor or cinematic intensity, reminiscent of a scene from a French film.

*record scratch* Yup, that’s me.

I bet you’re wondering how I got here... If you’re not, then don't buy a ticket okay all good whatever.

My name’s Fin, I’m hot, smart, and cool and hot. My life should’ve been awesome. But in high school, I chose to be gay (worst mistake I ever made) and now my parents don’t know how to talk to me.

But luckily, I have you guys to talk to :)
