All Performances from Britain’s Got Talent 2023 Winner: Comedian Viggo Venn!
Norwegian comedian Viggo Venn didn’t just win Britain’s Got Talent 2023 — he turned the whole country bright yellow.
With his endless supply of high-vis jackets, wild energy, and pure clowning joy, the 33-year-old (at the time) from Kongsberg, Norway, danced, stripped, and laughed his way into the hearts of millions. He took home the £250,000 prize and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance.
Here’s every unforgettable performance that made him the champion.
The Audition That Started It All
Viggo bounced onto the stage in a bright high-vis vest. The music started — Daft Punk’s “One More Time.”
He clapped. He jumped. He danced like no one was watching.
Then he pulled off the first jacket… and another… and another. Layer after layer of glowing yellow kept appearing. The audience went wild. The judges couldn’t believe their eyes.
Simon Cowell hit the red buzzer and called it “the most stupid act we’ve had this year.” Bruno Tonioli was in tears of laughter. Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were already fans.
Viggo finished by grabbing a broom and sweeping up the pile of jackets. Pure chaos. Pure genius.
That single audition created a national catchphrase: “One more time!”
Semi-Final: The Judges Become the Joke
In the semi-final, Viggo raised the bar.
He handed each judge a microphone and asked them to record themselves saying “My name is…” while Eminem’s track played. Then he perfectly mimicked their voices and mannerisms — Bruno’s flair, Amanda’s charm, Alesha’s energy, and Simon’s famous deadpan style.
The crowd erupted.
He closed once again with the high-vis dance to “One More Time.” The audience chanted along. Simon admitted it was “the most annoying act of the night… but weirdly, my favourite.”
Viggo won the public vote and sailed straight into the final.
The Grand Final: Simon Gets High-Vis
The final performance was peak Viggo.
He opened with a joke in Norwegian, flexed his muscles to the classic “Popcorn” tune, then climbed inside a giant balloon until he completely disappeared. Simon popped it to reveal him — of course — in another high-vis jacket.
Then came the masterstroke.
Viggo gave Simon his very own glowing vest. Rose petals fell. The whole audience was handed high-vis jackets. Suddenly the entire theatre was a sea of yellow, dancing and clapping to “One More Time.”
The energy was electric. Ant and Dec could barely keep up.
When the results came in, Viggo took first place with 22.5% of the public vote. Young dancer Lilliana Clifton finished second, and magician Cillian O’Connor took third.
His winning words?
“I feel extremely visible right now. Thank you so much.”
Why the Nation Fell in Love
Viggo isn’t a traditional stand-up comic. He’s a trained physical clown who studied at the famous École Philippe Gaulier in Paris (the same school that shaped Sacha Baron Cohen).
His secret? He makes people feel pure, unfiltered joy. No complicated jokes. No heavy messages. Just a man in a high-vis jacket who refuses to take life too seriously.
Bruno Tonioli compared him to Mr Bean. Alesha Dixon said he “captivated the nation.” Many viewers called his win the most fun result in years.
