He was utterly shit. The routine didn't flow at all. As for the "all the black people make some noise" tripe - words fail me.

I actually left the room, I just hung around in the kitchen next to the noise of the kettle til he was finished. I appreciate that stand up is hard to do, and I for one would never have the courage to do it, and I also get that with comedy it can be harder to get the audience on side with a show like this than a singer per se, but I cannot bear bad comedy. I just can't watch it. He seems a nice enough guy, but the act was just a complete no.

I actually find his opener to his act racist. Why segregate people's noise-making according to race?

His character on Balls of Steel was brilliant.

I can only assume he didn't write the material for that.

He was beyond shit tonight.

Hate him for making sick jokes about disabled people.

He stand up tonight was the worst I've ever seen it was awful and completely unfunny.

I thought it was him but was never sure.

The opening line was racist IMO. Why should a black person be able to say that, but if a white comedian come out and said that, there would be hell and ITV would be falling over themselves to apologise.

A white comedian wouldn't come out and say or anything about race. God only knows why black comedians are obsessed with the colour of their skin.

He needs a good writer. His material tonight was piss poor. Popeye? Who under 25 knows Popeye! Then remarks about Michael Jackson which would have been out of date 20 years ago. Then onto a bloke with bad breath! WTF!

I didn't understand in the auditions why every one went mad for him, the judges were laughing so much, I didn't find him that funny at all, maybe it is because I am 20 and his jokes were about old stuff.

tonight he wasn't very good either, actually a similar experience as to when I've watched America's Got Talent in the past and a comedian comes on and everyone laughs hard when I don't find it funny at all, just a different sense of humour.

I'm more than twice your age and I thought he was shite.

I don't think he's even likeable, he has a slightly aggressive, intimidating, not-quite-all-there air about him which I find a bit unsettling.

I'm still baffled as to why Ant and Dec gave this guy their "golden buzzer". It smells like a fix, but it hasn't ultimately benefited anybody so it's all a bit of a mystery...

They keep saying 'it's so hard for the comics because they only have 2 mins' but I don't understand that.

Surely it's easier to be humorous for 2 minutes than it is 30?

I wish he'd come out as 'Militant Black Guy'.
That would have been funny.
I doubt that it would go down well with them there but I'd find it funny.

Why are you stereoptyping all black comedians?

Don't complain about race when you're bring it up 5 seconds later.

Apparently it happened on the the last day of auditions, so presumably they were running out of options fast and had to pick somebody-anybody! I didn't find him funny in the slightest.

Ant and Dec weren't fussed about him deep down.

I'm not stereotyping. It's a fact.

I have never seen a black comedian who didn't refer to the colour of his skin either throughout his act or at least during part of it.

On the other hand, I have never seen a white comedian who mentioned his race during his act. White people are a race too, but we don't seem to feel the need to refer to it constantly.
