A COMEDY MASTERCLASS from Axel Blake | Semi-Finals | BGT 2022

[@DS-fp6pc]

What I like about his jokes is that it's relatable and he refers to stuff that happens to everyone. Surprised some ppl are calling it boring.

[@gakahuarthur993]

simple but delivered brilliantly. entertainment

[@mr.k1611]

It is boring because its relatable.

[@blacksheep6215]

I'm not surprised of those people.. They're just dumb y'know..

[@SL0409]

It is boring

[@mariastar8437]

Says a lot about your life … I thought his jokes ? We’re embarrassing

[@paulipe1640]

The routine flows he’s not just jumping from random bit to bit it all connects properly and it’s hilarious. Just like all the best comedians do

[@rubinnz]

Imagine being a part of his family, work or friends circle, You’ll be smiling all the time. All the best. There are so many amazing acts this season. If he wins, it’s well deserved. His comedy is universal.

[@projectr5651]

damn that felt like a poem

and your comment said ... Read more :-)

[@puupilo96746]

I live in Las Vegas and would love for him to do a stand-up show here. He's brilliant. He really is. Doesn't matter who you are or where your from, this guy is just so relatable. I wish him nothing but the best and he deserves to move forward in this competition. His well-deserved Golden Buzzer was just the beginning.

[@curiosity9347]

He's won the show...

[@Omar-yq8ld]

That's the correct word I wanted to describe him, relatable..

[@marcochelotti5495]

I like this guy, really nice and a great comedian, I want to see him in the final. AMANDA- you own it! No kidding.

[@mcdonaldsmuichiro9774]

Best comedian in the UK. I really like that he didn't use any swearing word or fowl language to sound funny. My 10 years old enjoyed his performance and so after me to go to his show once he announces. Congratulations and well done to you!

[@yas..2]

This guy was a well deserved finalist. His humour was amazing, it was simple and everyone loved it!

[@olfaolfafouzai6718]

Please can u write for me all what he said because i didn’t get his accent i want his first and final audition

[@someonereal7580]

Brilliant. I didn't LOL but he is a natural and he shines by being relatable. Better than a fair chunk of current British comedians. Hope he makes it.

[@goatrazziroom]

His jokes are so genuine and relatable. Love him

[@paulnorris1559]

I feel the point is they are not jokes as such, he just speaks about daily life, especially the way that it has evolved. Everything is instant now, and if you do not reply you are are asked why didn't you you reply or are blocked. Extremely clever humour, and makes sense to everyone. Well done Axel!

[@WestIndianAK]

Yeah…I feel like that’s the best comedy. It’s why Chris Rock is my favourite standup comedian-I always feel like he’s just expressing his genuine thoughts and various topics, and they just happen to be hilarious 😂

[@chrisrattray8958]

It’s plain to see you’ve never heard a real comic.

[@paulnorris1559]

@@chrisrattray8958 yes I have sir, I have also acted in over 20 plays, mostly comedy, many of Alan Ayckbourn's plays, which we can all relate to. I have also acted in three films, one directed by Eli Roth, so acting is in my blood, but also most importantly, is to gauge what the audience is feeling or expects.

[@themaltsters]

bit like Peter Kay then

[@really_rebecca]

I don’t often comment on this stuff but I spent a whole 50p to vote for him and so glad I did! He’s a wonderful humble guy and we need these people right now

[@johokeen1]

You did well there, backing a winner 👍😅. He deserved his win with his effortless 'down to earth' every day brand of humour.

[@bjamzz6987]

Why you spend money? It’s free to vote?? 😂😂

[@carmenhudlud6304]

I can tell that he is very likable One thing that stands out how he engaged with the crowd just because he went to the finals and his jokes was on point I could watch him all night I like how he started a perfect timing when he walked on stage and he came out with perfect jokes that could be in the finals and he kept it going to make it funny and funnier every time and at the end I love how he put people in the comments are so long that no one couldn’t keep up with the comments and also on social media that your phone is blowing up that it’s to much

[@Green_Gold]

Might be the best overall comedy set we've ever seen on this show. Brilliant. Great call backs. Relateable jokes. Got the crowd into it. Brilliant set

[@SL0409]

[@olibraybrennan9478]

Axel Blake gave us a masterclass in stand up comedy he's my winner

[@idrisb07]

A “minority” comedian picks up the mic and I’m like I already know where this is going, but no, this is comedy made out of stuff from daily life - commute on the tube, contactless payment, communication in relationships - just normal everyday mundane stuff and whoever can make comedy out of that is a comedy genius. So refreshing.

[@GoldenLight22]

I agree

[@barnbersonol]

Oh totally. I also thought he was gonna invent a racist bogey man to base his act on.

Best golden buzzer decision? Lol, are Loren Allred and Keiichi a joke to you? 😄

Keiichi is a very good golden buzzer but it’s a bit unfair that Loren got it cuz she’s a professional and it doesn’t give amateurs a chance
