Norwegian comedian Viggo Venn took the world by storm with his unexpected victory on the popular talent show, Britain’s Got Talent, in 2023. Despite facing tough competition from talented youngsters like 13-year-old dancer Lilliana Clifton and 14-year-old magician Cillian O’Connor, Viggo’s hilarious high-vis inspired comedy set captured the hearts of the nation and secured him the coveted title.
Viggo’s winning performance was a memorable one. Dressed in his trademark high-vis jacket, he welcomed the usually critical judge Simon Cowell onto the stage, incorporating him into his bizarre and comedic routine. The audience, both at the arena and watching from home, erupted in laughter throughout the act. At one point, Viggo even managed to squeeze his body into a balloon, showcasing his unique and “real talent” to the impressed judges.
As the winner of Britain’s Got Talent, Viggo Venn walked away with a prize of £250,000 and earned the opportunity to perform in front of the Royal Family at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance. The nation eagerly anticipates his upcoming performance, expecting nothing less than a hilarious and unforgettable show.
Despite his recent rise to fame, Viggo Venn is no stranger to success in the comedy world. He claims to have “a special kind of luck when it came to gong shows,” having previously conquered the Gong at the renowned Comedy Club, The Comedy Store. However, winning Britain’s Got Talent is likely to catapult him into the public consciousness, further establishing his comedic prowess. In fact, Viggo has already confirmed his participation in this year’s Edinburgh Fringe festival, where he sold out his shows just last year.
For his upcoming shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Viggo has planned two distinct performances that showcase his comedic range. His first show, titled “Clown in Progress,” promises a delightful array of clown-themed acts, including a clown car, big shoes, an impressive balancing act, red balloons, and a squirty flower. This family-friendly show is sure to leave the audience in stitches.
Later in the festival, Viggo will switch to his second show, titled “British Comedian.” The performance will take place just after midnight, and Viggo humorously explains that he chose this time slot to “stop boring audience members who need to go to bed.” With his unique blend of Norwegian charm and British humor, Viggo Venn’s second show promises to be a hit with comedy enthusiasts.
Fans eager to witness Viggo Venn’s comedic brilliance can secure tickets to his Edinburgh Fringe shows. “Clown (In Progress)” will be held on August 3rd and 7th at BlundaGardens: BlundaBus & Magical SpiegelYurt (Venue 121).
