Love how Greg is doing this whole thing just for his mum and even pointing to the Duke and Duchess so that they can wave to her. Also My Nan Your Nan is so great, Greg joining in the dance is a glimpse of how he is with his own gran, it's just really endearing

[@richardnewell8478]

Best part of the show

Thank u

I just spent 2 minutes looking through the entire video. *sigh*

[@jillflatt8638]

I feel SO proud that in Britain we value a comedian with a disability like this. Go Lee!

[@melglenny]

it's because he won on bgt !!

[@Mattinator95]

Is is me or was he not on for that long

[@leskennedy]

I've seen the Nan song half a dozen times now and it's still hilarious. Brilliant.

[@drwatsonca6945]

Rick Astley never seems to get old.

[@georgeyoung1210]

My drama teacher always said 'that's why live theatre is fun. It's dangerous' implying it's dangerous because it's live and anything could go wrong. Greg demonstrated this, but managed to pull it back.

[@spakkakiwi1]

The cellist’s playing is utterly divine.

[@Walperion_Music]

Yes, he elevated the whole show.

[@Robby334]

No one will ever replace Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth - Bless you Ma'am

[@carriehampton3513]

Enjoyed every single moment --- I adore Greg and thought he was charming and brilliant. The Nan song was truly special. Thanks for sharing. Loved it

[@georgeyoung1210]

Sees Hamilton: Yes! Sees Lost Voice Guy:Yes! Sees Greg Davies:YES!

[@deanaluvsjls]

😂😂😂😂😂 skitting at the top five quotes from his mam hahaha song is hilarious

[@laritaheath]

The young cellist is the elder sibling in a family of gifted classical musicians. It would be nice to see him perform accompanied by his younger sibling in the near future.

[@venicawood3894]

I think they did it in 2019.

[@mikeyb8040]

Greg Davies can never ever stay in character lol

[@gabrielepresby9120]

He cracks himself up. So very endearing!

[@pinkmusiicluva]

Greg Davies is wonderful. Such a good choice for hosting this!

[@bullish7352]

The nan song!!!!! Greg Davies is just pure joy :D

[@glorym8132]

Greg Davies is the new National Treasure! The Nan song is the best and the top 5 quotes from his Mother and her friends were priceless. Thank you for the upload! I don't usually watch the Royal variety show since being an adult as very same old same old but Greg brought life into if! 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👍🏻✨💕⚡️⚡️⚡️🙌🏾👍👏🏿👍🏻

[@libbyreesbarresi7459]

the royals waving at his mum was very funny too

[@Morn2moon]

i LOVE that song "Our Nans" it should be a hit! :-) Delightful

[@lamda2030]

Can we please acknowledge the cello that doubles as a keytar?!

[@millerhxc]

I'm trying to look up if that even exists. Surely it couldn't possibly function properly as either instrument, could it?

[@iLuvAkeys4ever]

Would love to see the Tina Turner musical! And the gorgeous young man and his beautiful father at the pianos!

[@lucindawiggins2700]

This was a great show. I wish they showed it in the United States. The entertainers were awesome.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Lucinda Wiggins Why does it need showing in the States when you can watch it on KZbin? I. In the U.K. and watching it here

[@laritaheath]

Kristina Winter I too think it would be nice to see it on a bigger screen than my iPhone 6S, the only access that I have to the WEB and KZbin.

Thanks for uploading this, wanted to watch it for Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne. They were brilliant! Also I want to see Hamilton now.

[@shawnwilliams3597]

This is the first time I've seen the royal variety performance show and I loved the mixture of performers everyone was so awesomely talented. The British have such an abundance of talented actors,comedians and amazing dancers. I really enjoyed watching this wonderful show and I appreciate and thank you very much for sharing your lovely video. This is Ivana Williams from Blue Mountains Ontario Canada and I'm wishing you only the best for the new year.❤️👌

[@m.g.n4898]

Oh my. You have to check out the 2014 Royal Variety Performance on youtube and see Ellie Goulding. It was spectacular.

[@sunshine201063]

i'm loving this! what a lovely mix, unhurried, friendly, simple......and great performances....

[@living4ward2it]

Such poised perfection the cirque du soleil troupe

[@esteefrederick8924]

Totally enjoying the performances!

[@SteelTreeGone]

That’s nice they sang to the both of them, to welcome them to enjoy the show

[@mariakelly5]

I loved the accidentally eating a swan bit.

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Cirque du soleil, wow… That was amazing!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when she was kicking the pots over her head when she couldn’t see them. What timing!

[@1funkyflyguy]

Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason was just simply mesmerising and awe-inspiring!! (Particularly with his rendition of Lionel Richie's Hello!) XD!!

[@ortheeimpossible3387]

GOOD SHOW, Lots of laughter

[@summer45able]

Oh my, all the talent was absolutely phenomenal. I’ll be watching this again. Amazing. 🙏❤️🇨🇦

[@skyrocketcoast219]

The actors & actresses in the Imitation game where super!

[@catsnmi270]

Skyrocketcoast I agree -theirs (and Tina's) were the only performances worth watching in my opinion!

[@KC-xh5bs]

Yeah, that was the only bit I actually laughed at!

[@aileentusi7012]

The show is really good. Very alive, and the host is very funny.

[@hometruths9411]

[@caycerae333]

I am digging it, too! I am an American in Spain, and this is a first for me. Really nice!

[@raymondoakford8357]

The British have got second rate entertainment down to a tee. This show was a must see show thirty years ago with great American stars, now it's a must miss show.

[@dorispotter1435]

I love it too and I laugh until I cry on some of these acts and enjoy the show very much and thinking Harry and Megan looks beautiful.

[@christinerowe1042]

I enjoyed this show, the jokes were clean - no profanity and I loved it. This show reminder me of the Ed Sullivan show. Very entertaining!

[@bleentrean5849]

Nobody gonna acknowledge the fact that Greg Rickrolled the entire audience + the Duke and Duchess with Rick Astley _himself?_

[@jamesellis1190]

Is it just me, or is it really funny/ironic that the cast of Hamilton end up bowing to the British Royal Family :P

[@JV-yd4qg]

Well, they are off the character now and the Royal Family is the Main Patron of Royal Variety.👌They exist to assist the future/former stars of Britain. Jessie J is a good example.

[@np2155]

That Hamilton bit was Great!
