Let me tell you two thing I know about Christian Finnegan:

1. He's funny.

2. Wikipedia says he's 35 today.

So be sure to take some time out of your busy day to send him telekinetic wishes for a happy birthday. Here's a clip from C-Finn's Comedy Central Presents:

Sean L. McCarthy from the Daily News Funny Business blog talks to Christian Finnegan about his headlining gig at Gotham Comedy Club this weekend. One of my favorite parts:

On his Best Week Ever fans, expectations of:

"...maybe they'll come thinking they're going to hear me saying 45 minutes on Tara Reid." Tara Reid?! "I can't keep up with whatever Britney's doing this week. I have to write it to do on the show. But I don't really enjoy late-night monologue material in a comedy club atmosphere. One of the things I love about comedy is you can talk about anything. And I don't give a s--- about that stuff, honestly. It's fun to talk about on the show, but I don't sit at home wringing my hands about what's going to happen on Desperate Housewives."

You can see Christian tonight through Sunday doing six shows at the Gotham Comedy Club (click here to make a reservation.)

If you don't know how to kick people by Wednesday night, you may never know!
