Comedian Darren Watson makes a TRIUMPHANT RETURN! | Auditions | BGT 2024

Now that's a comeback!

Darren Watson makes an almighty return to Britain's Got Talent after backing out of last year's auditions, and he's also gained a fan in Simon Cowell with his hilariously pun-y jokes.

The dad jokes flew right over Bruno's head.🤣

I love his nerve. He kept going. When he got his first big laugh, the change in him, the confidence boost. Just lovely

[indiarose]

I loved this. The first couple of jokes didn't land because he was delivering them so nervously. At that point, most people would allow that to break their confidence, but he pushed through, which takes guts! He pulled this confidence out of nowhere, the delivery got better, and people could relax and laugh. They were so-bad-that-they're-good jokes, which isn't everyone's cup of tea but the people who do like it would really appreciate this sort of set. And Simon was clearly one of them! This guy is really likeable and funny, so I hope he can start to feel more confident, as he will get better and better. I just really respect the moment where he chose to carry on and give it his all, rather than let it defeat him. What an amazing attitude, and it paid off!

Well done darren, as one of his customers I can confirm he does practice on us. Even if his jokes are not funny for everybody he’s a really nice guy. I’m rooting for you! ✨

Bruno didn’t even get a single joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[KellyWilliams-mzdz]

I would love to think that behind the scenes they help him with his confidence… as I genuinely believe Darren doesn’t think he is good enough, and he was sensational! I loved it, well written jokes, fast wit… honestly fantastic… I hope you go really far 😊

The insomnomnomia joke got a good laugh out of me

[thenewmodfather]

This is the kind of act I like. Just a normal working man/woman having a go at it

[Emilie-mayxoxo]

I love how simon was basically the only one laughing i love him now well ive always loved simon but especially now he's much happier especially since he's had his son eric ❤

[SiMon-ouzy]

This guy is a legend I was crying in laughter and usually when I watch comedy it really doesn’t even make me chuckle

[sophtakesvlogs]

The jokes were ridiculous but I think that’s what made it so much funnier 😂 I hope they keep him for the live shows he’ll definitely be getting my votes

[rowan.weston]

Simon was sitting back and loving those jokes 😂

[katherinehiggins]

Simon has such a better sense of humor now that Eric has come around. I love to see him laughing and having fun. Becoming a dad has forever changed his life

[supposedly-]

The first three jokes were my favorite tbh!

[sophieedwards]

I hope this goes great. I was laughing my head off with the rest are jokes.

Stand up comedy is the hardest, if your audience don't get the humour from the get-go, it can be a fast downwood spiral. This man deserved every applause. To carry on after such a tough start was courage that paid off. His jokes were more funny and clever than given credit for, i was laughing from the start l. I wish him all the best.

[TheTataNini]

Loved it and this style of humour with language. Amanda trying not to find him funny is funny. Love Simon's laugh! Well done Darren!

[Jeremyracle-qbmo]

He is exactly the type of person this show should be for : an ordinary, working man or woman with a dream - not the professional or semi-proffessional acts that have already been performing for years

[michellemarkey]

You were brilliant. Was lovely speaking to you this morning. You didn't half cheer me up with your joke. Make sure you have some more for me on Monday 🤣 Such a lovely guy 😊
