Josh2Funny, the online superstar known for his hilarious #DontLeaveMe skits, hit the international stage of America’s Got Talent (AGT) in a captivating exhibition of comedic skill that left a lasting impression on both judges and the audience at large. Josh2Funny’s act was a rollercoaster of amusement that took the judges and spectators into his unusual world with a performance that merged versatility, humor, and innovation.
Opening his act as a ‘speed reader,’ Josh Alfred introduced himself with an air of confidence and an unexpected twist. He humorously claimed to be the ‘Fastest Reader in the World,’ regaling the audience with anecdotes about his lightning-fast reading abilities. He even joked about his promise to his family back in Nigeria, vowing not to leave the US unless he secured the coveted one-million-dollar prize. His witty response to what he’d do with the money—buying books—elicited uproarious laughter from the crowd.
Josh’s first attempt at his act was a memorable one, as he embarked on the challenge of reading three books in just one minute. Flipping through the pages with exaggerated gestures and accompanied by gibberish sounds, he managed to captivate the audience’s attention. Despite the judges’ initial reservations, the spectacle earned him a hearty applause from the amused onlookers.
Undeterred by his first setback, Josh2Funny reappeared on stage, this time assuming the persona of ‘J Hush’ and dubbing himself the ‘fastest rapper in the world.’ The judges, a mix of anticipation and skepticism, granted him another chance to prove himself. With swift and tongue-twisting rhymes, he unleashed a flurry of words that showcased his rhythmic skills. Although his performance fell short of convincing the judges, the audience was thoroughly entertained, underscoring his ability to connect with people through his humor.
For his third effort, Josh2Funny transformed into ‘Terrifying J,’ a self-described magician, in a stroke of brilliant comedic brilliance. He once more demonstrated how versatile he is when he entered the stage to thunderous acclaim. Although he didn’t use traditional magic tricks in his show, he capitalized on his ability to make people laugh.
Demonstrating his ability to create an atmosphere of amusement, he won the judges over one by one, and a previously skeptical judge admitted his admiration for Josh’s unique persona. The judge’s emphatic ‘yes’ was soon echoed by the rest of the panel, securing Josh’s passage to the next round.
By the end of his performance, the entire audience was on their feet, caught in a wave of excitement and genuine enjoyment.
