He's just scooped the top prize on 2023's Britain's Got Talent and now Viggo Venn is on a national tour and he's coming to Wales in early 2024. After blowing away the competition in an explosion of hi-vis jackets, balloons, and joyous idiocy, Viggo became the most talked-about new entertainer in the country by winning Britain's Got Talent in June 2023.
Viggo scooped the £250,000 prize and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance and was in the final three with magician Cillian O'Connor and Lilliana Clifton, you can see how the final played out, here. He'll be at Cardiff's New Theatre on January 14, 2024. Tickets are on sale now and are available from seetickets, here.
Viggo said today, “I have been receiving thousands of videos on Instagram from young and old dancing around in hi vis vests and nothing makes me happier! So excited to bring a show full of fun, quirkiness and surprises for everyone! Can’t wait to meet people and go on a highly visible UK tour! (I will bring Viggo-vests with me, if you forget yours!)"
As well as winning Britain's Got Talent this year, in 2022, Venn won the New Act of The Year Show in London and was runner-up in the Leicester Square Theatre's 'New Comedian of the Year'. His solo show Pepito was nominated for Best Comedy at Fringe World in Perth and Brighton Fringe in the UK in 2017.
He trained at French clown school École Philippe Gaulier and for four years he toured in a double act 'Zach and Viggo' with Zach Zucker (of Stamptown). The duo won the Best Comedy Award at the 2016 Brighton Fringe.
