There’s no shortage of comedians who try their luck on talent shows like Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent. Many are incredibly talented, and some make it to the finals, earning love from fans around the world. However, it’s rare for a comedian to take home the grand prize on these shows, where winners are often singers, dancers, or other performers.
One comedian, however, may not have won the title, but he certainly stole the show. Meet Daliso Chaponda, a Malawian comedian whose semi-final act on Britain’s Got Talent quickly became one of the most-watched performances in the show’s history, racking up hundreds of millions of views across YouTube and other platforms.
Daliso’s comedy is unique, blending observational humor with dark comedy and political satire. His energy on stage and his sharp wit make him a crowd favorite, leaving the audience and judges gasping for air as they laugh. His style has been compared to comedy legends like Ricky Gervais and John Cleese, but he brings his own fresh perspective that sets him apart.
Even though Daliso didn’t win the season, his performance became legendary, launching him into international fame. Since his Britain’s Got Talent appearance, Daliso has released multiple comedy albums and gained a huge following, with fans who can’t get enough of his clever humor.
