And after tonight\u2019s performance, that view is even more enforced.<\/p>\n<p>He took to the stage tonight and the youngster was even funnier than he was at his first audition.<\/p>\n<p>His gags included a dig at Strictly Come Dancing and Bruce Forsyth and a jibe about Simon Cowell, who he compared to the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.<\/p>\n<p>David Walliams told him: You are a brilliant comedian, you are the next Peter Kay.<\/p>\n<p>Alesha Dixon: Thank you very much, that was fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Holden: I know you were really nervous but you pushed through it, you were extraordinary. I couldn\u2019t be prouder of you. That was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Cowell summed up: \u00a0It has been worth making this show just to meet you. I absolutely love you but I could have killed you half way through that performance. Not many comedians make me laugh, you really do. There is something really likeable about you.
