We thought Markus Birdman was absolutely BRILLIANT, so funny, great follow-on patter, excellent delivery, couldn't fault the guy at all. We wish him every success in the future. (ABRS-UK)
I loved his intro wind up which I suspect was intentionally placed to put the judges on edge: "I'll start with a joke; seems a good idea." Here is a highly-experienced, hard-working comedian, with loads of Edinburgh credentials, and who has headlined all over the place. Landed the gags perfectly, as he always does. Predictably, some of the media have picked up on a couple of negative social media comments and blown them into an over-sized story, but who cares what they say? Good stuff!
This is why you should never judge a book by its cover. We do that way to much throughout our lives with mount noticing it by fault of our own: what we really miss out on is pure talent like him and others try to show us.
I don't get your comment; what reason would someone have to judge him anyway? You are somehow in fact saying that there is something not okay with this mans cover.
@@aarde7036 What reason? Ask the people from the audience that were judging him before he started his act. Literal eyerolls when he said he believes he can win and guys making his fun of his outfit. OP never once said there anything wrong with his cover, just pointing out people that were being judgemental and doubting the dude before he even started his performance.
Good grief, the editing was horrible. The reaction shots of the audience and judges felt like bad B-roll footage. Definitely not reactions to his performance. None of it made sense in the context of the jokes he was telling.
Finally a comedian on this series, and a good one too! :) I hope to see more comedians in this series, so far it’s just been big groups of people dancing and singing.
Never let people like the guy at 0:46 affect your own self worth. These are the negative people, bullies, judgemental types that try and bring you down, and they will if you let them. Realise that their opinions actually mean nothing and carry on being you.
He's an established act: has has headline shows at the Edinburgh Festival, has his own Netflix special and has written for comedy performers. He's not amateur but one of the acts producers headhunt when they're short of auditionees
When BGT began it was about finding raw amateur talent. However given the fact of the level of deluded loonies who've appeared on the auditions since 2008, the producers - and Cowell - have had to resort in finding semi-pro's for the heats to boost and retain viewers. There's probably quite a number of good raw stand-ups in the UK who've lost a spot on tv to Birdman
@@stephenfenwick4309 MB14, who received the gold, is also a professional world champion loop station "beat boxer". unfortunate what the show has become.
@llCannibal3ll you are wrong... MB14 prepared himself for BGT for a long time. It was his dream to get on that stage from his young age, and he created a special song for this event, And he said that is an honor to be there , prepared for a good show. Or maybe you would prefer him when he was an amateur, a beginner...?! So you are wrong. BGT is doing well their choices... You... stubborn 😣 Lol 😆 🤣 😂 LOL
yeah absolutely me and my wife use to watch the BGT alot. I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless.. I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together. seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia
@@user-z6p4c oh man… this has really touched my heart. Sorry this all happened. Nostalgia is such a beautiful feeling because it is somehow painful and liberating at the same time. Sending you love ❤
@@janetgao6201 I really do appreciate your kind words and also losing my wife to such circumstances, honestly it's not been easy keeping faith as things has been really difficult doing this thing called parenting all by my self but in all it's been a wonderful journey seeing my daughter grow into the woman she is now which makes me feel very proud...I hope your day is going as planned 🙏
I will never forget all the enjoyment I got from the kind heart and incredible enthusiasm of David....👍👍👏👏👏💚💚💚 That being necessary for me to declare, I must acknowledge Bruno is a wonderful choice. I would not have believed you could find someone to replace or compare to David's encouraging enthusiasm, and respectful support towards contestants❤ You're a wonderful ft Bruno, long may you run👏👏👏
@@aarde7036 he got caught making vile remarks about female contestants with his mic still on. It just revealed the nasty side most of us knew he had anyway. At least Bruno actually has a talent he can use to judge others by.
This guy was not as funny as people are making him out to be, the judges looked like they had just watched the most funny thing any human being has ever watched. It wasn’t very funny. Sure, I get that some people have different humour from others but to be belly laughing at a man saying he got drunk in the morning during covid is crazy.

Markus Birdman is a professional stand up with years of experience and shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and multiple TV appearances. Proof, if any were needed that BGT is absolutely fixed and genuine amateur talent don't stand a chance.

I feel that way about Alesha! 😄
She was mocking laughing

As a stroke victim myself , i was appalled hearing his joke . But on the other side , he was funny .
Good one.

Ah, you had me for a moment there! Nicely done Sir, nicely done!
stroke of genius right there 😂
Me too ignorant man he is

What a coincidence! Does she share his dry wit?

He's already an established act with a netflix special. This is just daft
I think i am Depressed because i found none of this funny except the end
Nice to see all four Judges agreeing and lately positive vibes. Great comedian too
Yeah and I don’t get everyone’s problem with Bruno he’s great and so funny 🤷🏾♂️
Fantastic!
One of the best I've heard in a REAL long time!
Good going Marcus!!
He has natural timing, which is hard to teach. Clever original humor. Look forward to seeing his next performance.
It seems timing comes from experience, which he has. Clever? Huge stretch.
Unless I suppose making a joke about alcoholism or left side of your body being impaired is original
Good grief, the editing was horrible. The reaction shots of the audience and judges felt like bad B-roll footage. Definitely not reactions to his performance. None of it made sense in the context of the jokes he was telling.
Amanda’s laugh is funnier than the actual jokes 😂😂 she cracks me up
Words
I love Amanda's laugh! 😂🤣
Really? It's obnoxious
@@metalfreak1368 THANK YOU. 👍
Fake laugh, copied alesha. She'll be having a brown tooth next
This overacting by the judges! Plus, I didn't find him very funny.

I agree. It's usually because they're full of insecurities themselves and they project that out to other people.
Sorry was I watching a different act to everyone else? I didn't find him funny at all
❌️❌️❌️❌️ This is disgusting.
I did not laugh once, what a load a total crap, do not understand what people where laughing at
Dude apart from his obvious wit, I love how COOL he is 😂
Yeah, he's got eclectic style and impeccable timing.
Fabulous! I'd pay to see Markus Birdman! I agree with Bruno. The delivery was brilliant!
So Glad He Nailed It After They We’re Judging Him Before The Act, Really Jumped The Gun On Him, No Pun Intended 🤣
That's what i don't like with the show.
@@peverilngehngeh8536 The judging before the act is scripted... You should learn to take everything at face value with this series lol
Do You Have Any Idea How Annoying It Is To Write Every Single Word With A Capital? I'll Tell You: VERY MUCH.
@@aarde7036 Why are you offended by someone's personal writing style?
Not funny one bit - It' like it's almost a mixed crowd from other gigs laughing at him
Omg!😄this's so funny😆🤣
Thanks to Markus for this bunch of joy!💖
I wish him well, and the best of luck.
I didnt think he was one bit funny
legend has it Amanda's still laughing
Omg! This guy was hysterical! If he came to the US, I would definitely go see him.
I didn't find that funny at all, sorry
Shrieks of laughter from the audience. But he just wasn't that funny. Maybe you had to be there.
He looked like he’d be funny but it was meh. He’s not bad at all but it did not make me laugh at all
I found this barely amusing. Certainly not rip-roaring hilarious.
I love a laugh me ! But sorry this wasn’t it 🤷🏽♂️
I must be in a minority because this, so called comedian is about as funny as a skid mark on an hotel towel. Surely I’m not alone in this?
Couldn't get by how everyone thought it was funny shooting their child.
@@brian1801 _same here. He’s mediocre at best. No hate, just my own personal opinion_
He's an established act: has has headline shows at the Edinburgh Festival, has his own Netflix special and has written for comedy performers. He's not amateur but one of the acts producers headhunt when they're short of auditionees
There’s no prerequisites to say that BGT entrants have to be amateurs though?

A rather brave individual after that frosty reception!
Absolutely brilliant, that guy really is good 😂
I want to set Amanda's laugh as my ringtone!
Love this guy, so damn funny, I've taken a liking to him and would love to see more of this terrific bloke. Robert Bridgend 🏴🏴
Er, his name is _Markus Birdman._
I like how he purposely said some bad jokes before he started the act to surprise us
One of the worst tv shows of my lifetime.
The last joke about the middle class Englishman, was downright hilarious.
Somehow I don't think Alesha saying she's never sat on a naked man, is a whole lot of truth
These were original 😂
The sign of a great comedian is if he leaves you with eyes watering from laughing so hard. He did that. Well done.
There's no way those reactions are real.
Sorry but that new judge is sooooooo false. BRING BACK DAVID
I will never forget all the enjoyment I got from the kind heart and incredible enthusiasm of David....👍👍👏👏👏💚💚💚
That being necessary for me to declare, I must acknowledge Bruno is a wonderful choice.
I would not have believed you could find someone to replace or compare to David's encouraging enthusiasm, and respectful support towards contestants❤

Why is David no longer on here? I missed that.

Respectful support haha

At least Bruno actually has a talent he can use to judge others by.
Is this guy another One of the ‘plants’ they hire? as the forced laughter from the judges was awful and obvious.
Omg he wasn’t that funny and timing was of seen better tbh he’s no Jack Dee
Was I the only only who laughed 0 times?
He was as funny as piles
Simon didn't believe that in the first place 😂
Well he made me laugh and not many people can do that as I have AGS Alf Garnett Syndrome lol
Thought it was absolute crap
I hate BGT editing and over acting from the judges.
About as funny as piles
Had Amanda nor used her golden buzzer already, this would have been the time.
*4 jury standing ovation and to top aee Alesha put her heart out and a very English Amanda laugh* 😅
This might split people this act but i really liked his dry sense of humour
Oh we need more of that!!! The world is too sensitive nowadays. I love dry sense of humour - we should be able not to take ourselves too seriously 😅
Funny
He's fantastic but I love Amanda ❤️ more.😍

He’s brilliant ✨

Hilarious audition 😂🎉 Love this guy❤
Really need Amanda's laughter as my ringtone, alarm and message tone.i love her😂
Damn! He is not good. He is a pro! The delivery is like he did this for a long time. Definitely the perfect career for him.
He has. He's not an amateur comedian and has previously headlined big gigs. He was headhunted by producers for the show.
Funny. Sure...funny enough. But the *over the top* hysterics from the panel is so absurd. Alll for show.

I'm into comedy but I didn't get any of his jokes. Maybe cuz I'm from America
Great guy though
Actually pretty funny usually the comedians on this show are cringeworthy!
Everyone saying this guy is so funny … I guess I’m the only one that thinks he prob is quite a nice chap but a comedian… no
Blobby got Simon good
Stolen jokes and not that well told.
He's great.
not sure he was as funny as the audience and panel made it seem. not saying he is bad, just saying this show is BS
That was the funniest audition I have ever seen on BGT that made me laugh huge time hahahahaha
Best comiden ever that made me laugh so much
Funny
Thought he was very average…..dunno why everyone thinks he’s so good
I just love Bruno on BGT
I am a French Canadian and I god everything he said :-)
Quoi??
@Ben Huot - You _""god"_ everything he said"? Did you mean that you *"got"* everything he said" - his act & jokes?
To hats the sort of comedy I like
Er - *_"To hats"?_*
And I thought nobody can beat Simons open shirt. It's not a good look Bruno.
Lmao this was fantastic
Congratulations, you’ve made it through to judges houses
He nailed it
Funny. Does he expect us to believe he is only 52 though?
Lol his jokes were funny
