Viggo Venn Royal Variety Performance 2023 (with Simon Cowell's opening speech)

[@innag6888]

why the hate for this guy? he's charismatic, polite and full of joy. He's got excellent timing. I like his absurd humour. He relaxes me. He's a clown and went to clown college. What he does is much harder than it looks.

[@clesiomendes8560]

Everything I watching Vigo, I end up with a smile on my face.

[@angeliquebraid782]

I love ❤️ Viggo he has fun and lots the audience join in

[@klmn2000]

Love Viggo! Connects with everyone on every level and makes them laugh - every time, not just one last time! That's genius!

[@shuki1]

Why is YT only showing me this now? I love Viggo!

[@aqua3890]

OMG SAMEEEE !!! I LOVE HIMM

[@moosewild4239]

Viggo connects with the audience. Great entertainer.

[@emmad.176]

Everytime I watch Viggo, I feel like I'm being transported somewhere.... in the best way 🤣

[@1111poppy]

He transports us into the Happy Land.

[@Cyannah117]

Viggo is just pure fun! But behind the fun is actual comedic genius. His timing, his song choice as his background/lynchpin and the bits and pieces of his act all culminated in an act that is joy, light, and harks back to the hey day of vaudeville. ❤

[@TraceySanchez-uu5wv]

I was even laughing he deserves that win it was something rare and different i hope day he get to come to the usa agt fantasy show champion Congrats viggo venn

[@linisleo]

I have tears from laughing … he is a genius of clowning.

[@devinw5150]

Well, he actually went to clowning school for a few years so he obviously earned his master’s degree. 😂

[@JayC-ld2rd]

Thank you Viggo, you really make me laugh from a place I haven’t seen since I was a kid at the playground many years ago. You have such a gift, thank you for sharing it

[@brodudesdabomb]

So many shit talkers in the comment about Viggo, this is what real people want to see in a variety show. It's original, it's funny, it's just down right goof/fun for all laughs. I don't understand people (keyboard warriors).

[@Kai1028-ol2gt]

bc its not talent and it's stupid...

[@harynian]

You are the biggest warrior here😂

[@007spudman]

I agree it was a laugh but that was about it, they were people on BGT 2023 who actually put way more effort into their acts who were beaten by a guy who dances around in high vis jackets. 2023s BGT sucked yeah Viggo was a laugh but that's about it.

[@brodudesdabomb]

@@007spudman I won't say you're wrong. Not at all. I just don't get the people who bash others they know nothing about or don't have the courage enough to come up with something original like this on their own. It's all good everyone can have their opinion. Just like I have mine! :) Thanks for the comment friend!

[@DavidLawlor-ci8wz]

If he wore face paint and red nose they would understand more

[@enby_potatoes]

he's a classically trained clown who went on in an attempt to go viral by getting 4 x's and ended up winning. brilliant.

[@lazuvt9456]

His talent: Crowd work.

[@nealcraigcomedy]

He’s an amazingly talented professional clown

[@luciesneep]

Because i know a few words Norwegian: "Venn" means "Friend" by the way.

[@BudoThePaladin]

wow so his family have just been generations of good friends lol

[@charlenemack7040]

So many negative lousy comments. I think he’s funny I like him I’d give him a thumbs up.😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@papadwarf6762]

He was dumb . It’s not even funny, it’s embarrassing

[@Eirikyoyoshop]

You got to admit, he is good!

[@CallMeProm]

Rofl, love how they put just the shittiest quality camera on the royal family.

[@Gnarve]

At first glance he may strike you as a complete idiot.. At second glance he may strike you as an even bigger idiot.. Third time around he will start to grow on you.

[@lich2560]

I’f only we had folk like this genius in the UK we would be so racist and small minded

[@muhammadsaleh6766]

Viggo is everything that we want to be but are held back by others' opinions about ourselves!

[@DavidMiller.93]

Johns boys should have won, they were the same Yr right?

[@angelorak3275]

For me , Viggo is the future Mr Bean

[@chanodomnakalagshana7458]

Remember, Simon actually buzzed him out during the first audition

[@MK-pz5gf]

Remember, it’s all staged and that’s the power or media they can enforce BS and makes you love it

[@DednieEasonYeap]

Its reality and facts just believe it ,....its A Comedian 😅😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@boskobosko9862]

According to me, Viggo like stupid but very smart.....originally and finally Simon like him, I proud him😅

[@lluisg.8578]

Audio is desynched

[@aqua3890]

He got so many highways left. Ended too soon (T_T)

[@naed_coral]

The 40 people on the ground love it... the rest of the room... not so much 😂 barely anyone clapping if you look!

[@luongv427]

Was hoping to see something new from him.

[@alexstarone1]

Wooow! Thanos got golden vest

[@ashooaway]

Britain's fucked

[@N.U.R_Music]

Bufoonery is valued more than talent

[@mo_ops9426]

nah this is art my friend and if you can’t see that there is something wrong with you

[@BudoThePaladin]

Well I can see why you'd feel that way, talents in other categories such as singing, dancing, magic, stunts, etc. are easier to notice than comedic talents. When we think of what it means to be a talented singer we imagine someone who has never pursued becoming a singer such as working with a vocal coach, who is extremely good regardless. So what is a talented comedian? My understanding is that there is more than one way to be naturally funny. Earlier comedians like Charlie Chaplin, the Three Stooges, or Laurel and Hardy were gifted in acting. They didn't make sophisticated jokes even when they transitioned from silent film to sound, it was primarily slapstick comedy, and in order to be good at slapstick sketches you'd have to be both capable of acting it out as well as owning it, making it your own. When people think of slapstick comedy they think of Charlie Chaplin, the Three Stooges, and alike. I think crowd work is definitely in that realm of being a good act. You don't need to do anything sophisticated, you just need to be naturally funny and original. People who are good at that type of comedy create moments, imagine it like that one friend in your friend group who isn't predictable and just does something that leaves the rest of the group dying of laughter. You can be a genius and make a very sophisticated joke, and I think both are equals. A well timed witty joke is great, but I've found people remember physical humor better. If someone close to you has slipped in a funny way, chances are you can easily remember it compared to a witty joke you heard 10 years ago.

[@brandongarner2200]

Anyone else notice Simon’s glasses are crooked

[@ragnarkisten]

The most funny thing about this is that it is so far from what I typically associate with British humour. Well, maybe apart from Mr. Bean perhaps.

[@odainable]

This is what BGT gone to!

[@SpenderNancy-x6z]

Davis Course

[@eyelovetheskyandthesea]

Ahhahaah 😅🤣🤣😂

[@isaacsatar9304]

I don't even know anymore...😅

[@TheSamjane4]

He’s so dumb I can’t stop laughing…that’s why he won 😂

[@guypainter]

His first two performances on BGT were very funny. In the final it was all a bit predictable. The Variety Show spot was just a repeat of what we'd seen before and the "My Name Is...." thing didn't work because the audience participators were boring and he messed up the timing... I mean seriously, you had one job, mime someone saying their name. That bit worked on BGT because the judges were obviously rehearsed and part of the performance. This time it suffered from a really obvious lack of preparation, which considering it was all old material is pretty unforgiveable IMO.

[@henfc456]

It is the Clío the audio is a bit out of sync

[@Tigither]

I agree. I actually thought he's just rehashing the old stuff from BGT. When I watch those I am on the floor laughing but it's lost something. He needs to research some new material. People will just get bored. A shame because I keep watching the BGT ones when I feel a bit down and absolutely bust a gut.

[@lena-gk4vb]

Agree, the final was really bad. Semi-final was great

[@007spudman]

Because he shouldn't of even been at the Royal Variety in the first place...

[@guypainter]

@@007spudman "of"?

[@mrvinyl-mrchili9583]

Sorry but this was just so boring

[@biggles8500]

Literally almost 0 talent. The hate for this guy is justified because it's a plant. There is NO TALENT involved here. Anyone can replicate.

[@SquarebagTT]

First

[@liamgibson3447]

I don’t even know how this guy even won in the first place 🤨

[@paraworkz]

yea im bewildered how he won

[@donnalthood3102]

It was absolutely silly and a gimmick ..but he did many other things on the show.

[@donaldmartin4620]

For me this shot is boormg tho same old every time just new jacket boring not a show in Vegas fact I wouldn’t watch it was funny the first time and second after that boring as hell fact

[@jrzshor]

dumb as hell but way funny

[@alec19811]

Wtf did i just watch Ohh britain you have lost the plot

[@praveersewock3838]

I was thinking same. But later I came back and back again and finally started loving the act. There's indeed some magic there

[@shivasgaming1689]

​@@praveersewock3838exactly the same as me. He's grown on me over time. Audition I thought was stupid, semi final was stupid again but couldn't help laugh my arse off and then in. The final it was actually really cleverly done- I'd never seen an act like that before. At the time I was like fuck me but now im like yh I totally get why he won, even though I personally feel Lilliana was more deserving of the title

[@cheekypeteski7545]

Just like when the Queen died lol

[@jc9552]

I thought he was genius when he was on Bgt but I honestly thought he would be even better at this event and come up with new material. This was same old same old and the effect was gone.

[@bruce94202]

Embarrassing for all.

[@papadwarf6762]

Yep

[@joeconcrete5067]

Royalty my foot.

This act wasn't fir for the royal show, do you actually understand what they are voting for? What an embarrassment on bgt's behalf

[@alexdyter8237]

imagine if MB14 had won it! Would of been a lot more fitting. Shocked that he didn't even get through to the finals!

[@Doritoschiplivingthebestlife]

Don’t be so jealous that he makes the crowd laugh at his jokes and acts when you make them laugh at your face and boring personality lol
