This video captures the shockingly funny and dark-humored stand-up audition of\u00a0Markus Birdman<\/b>\u00a0, a 52-year-old comedian from Essex, on\u00a0Britain\u2019s Got Talent<\/i>\u00a02023. He immediately sets a self-deprecating tone by recalling his worst-ever gig, where he slipped on stage in wet, leather-soled shoes and landed \u201cface in the front row\u201d\u00a0, failing to recover.<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Markus wastes no time establishing his sharply dry, honest style of comedy, opening with a joke about children: \u201cKids are the biggest source of joy you will ever have. Trouble is, they do tend to ruin every other source of joy you\u2019ve ever had\u201d . He shocks the panel with the punchline, \u201cI\u2019d take a minute for my child\u2026 put it in a gun and shoot her,\u201d before transitioning into material about his 18-year-old daughter who wears heavy makeup .<\/p>\n

The act takes a hilariously dark and personal turn when Markus introduces the major life events that inform his comedy. He jokes about spending the two years of the pandemic \u201cfairly drunk\u201d . He then reveals, with a comedic swagger,\u00a0\u201cA couple years ago I had a stroke\u201d<\/b>\u00a0, before joking that people don\u2019t believe him because he doesn\u2019t look like a stroke survivor, quipping,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m actually 23\u201d<\/b>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Markus then delivers his most unforgettable\u2014and inappropriate\u2014story from his time in the hospital after his second stroke . He was heavily sedated and wearing a hospital gown (\u201cthe bum cape\u201d) and needed to use the toilet at night. He describes parting the gown, backing into the toilet, and sitting down, only to realize that there was \u201calready a blind naked man sat there\u201d<\/b>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The judges and audience are reduced to fits of laughter, with Bruno Tonioli crying with mirth . The punchline to the story is the blind man\u2019s polite, middle-class English reaction to being sat on:\u00a0\u201cOh, I\u2019m sorry, who\u2019s that?\u201d<\/b>\u00a0. The sheer absurdity and shocking nature of the true story secures a massive reaction.<\/p>\n

The judges deliver a flood of praise for his unique style. Bruno Tonioli declares,\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019re not afraid to go there, your delivery is absolutely spot on\u201d<\/b>\u00a0, and Alesha Dixon praises his dry style, saying \u201cevery single joke was funny\u201d \u00a0Markus Birdman walks away with four emphatic \u201cYes\u201d votes, successfully proving that his dark, shocking, and honest brand of comedy has a place on the BGT stage.<\/p>\n
