On the evening of April 22nd (local time), Britain’s Got Talent sparked a wave of laughter with the outrageous performance of a contestant from Japan, comedian Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura (Toni).
According to Metro, Toni stepped onto the stage wearing only a bathrobe. He traveled to the UK to pursue his dream of performing for the royal family.
The atmosphere in the studio changed dramatically when Toni removed his bathrobe. Judge Bruno Tonioli exclaimed, “No, no, no,” while Alesha Dixon covered her eyes for a moment.
Toni confidently stood in front of the audience while keeping his modesty intact by strategically placing his hands over his lower body, revealing only a bright pink pair of underwear adorned with floral patterns. “But I can still wear my underwear,” he humorously added.
Alesha was visibly shocked by the spectacle, advising the contestant not to do such things. Nevertheless, Toni began to unveil other “embarrassing” talents.
After a brief musical introduction, Toni began to dance on stage, lifting his left leg forward as if he was kicking a ball, cleverly concealing his private parts and creating an illusion that he wasn’t wearing anything.
At that moment, the judges seemed to be more amused than embarrassed as they exchanged laughter and gestures.
After that, Toni continued to perform other daring acts, including interpretive dance and a James Bond-style skit, before concluding with a Spice Girls-inspired dance routine. After finishing his performance, he reiterated, “Don’t worry, I’m still wearing my underwear.”
The performance received enthusiastic applause from the judges and the audience at the London Palladium.
Alesha expressed her admiration, stating, “You are my favorite contestant on the show so far.”
“Toni, you completely rocked the stage and brought the feeling of Britain’s Got Talent to life. I love you,” Amanda Holden praised.
Simon Cowell noted that Toni was the most memorable contestant of the season. He praised Toni for being the funniest contestant in the show’s history.
With resounding support from the judges and the audience, Toni received four enthusiastic “yes” votes, advancing to the next round.
Not only did those present at the studio enjoy the show, but viewers at home also shared the excitement.
Many positive comments flooded social media, with users reacting on Twitter: “Toni on Britain’s Got Talent was outstanding. I couldn’t stop laughing from start to finish,” “I was forced to watch the show, and all I can say is bring Toni to perform in front of the royal family,” “I’ve never seen a comedian quite like this before. Brilliant performance. Outstanding and hilarious,” “I’m not worried, I’m just wearing underwear on Britain’s Got Talent, which is the funniest thing I’ve seen all year,” “Is anyone else feeling awkward about performing in the living room?”
