Alex Mitchell has us in STITCHES with HILARIOUS stand-up | Semi-Finals | BGT 2024 

I was diagnosed with FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) in 2019 and last year a second diagnosis Functional Cognitive Disorder (symptoms similar to early stage Dementia) It is a complex condition, even the best neurologists, still don't have a clue what is causing it. It is so great to see FND making more aware among the public, because we struggle with so many things and in most cases due to our symptoms, that are not fake, it is such a fight to be heard by specialists and all kinds of government agencies. I'm fighting to be heard for almost 5 years and I won't give up and I want to thank Alex a million times, you are such an inspiration for us all who are dealing with FND ❤❤❤

Thankyou for raising awareness for FND and tics ❤ I have both too and it made me really happy to see you on stage! Loved your performance 😁💕

I've never felt so much love and pride for someone I don't know but my goodness Alex would be my golden Buzzer now and forever. Evreyone's got a place right here, you tell'em Alex!

For someone who has been diagnosed with FND myself. This is inspiring 👏

I have FND as well. He got up on that stage and he did it.

I have fnd!! So glad to see some representation

Everything about Alex was absolutely perfect! I hope he does become a successful comedian one day! The whole world needs him!

Brilliant performance. So likeable. Also great to raise awareness for FND (which I'd never heard of!) and learning sign language. Such an inspiration. Wishing Alex Mitchell all the best. The audience reaction was truly deserved.

I think if you jingled a bunch of keys in front of Bruno Tonioli his mind would be blown

As a fellow sufferer of FND he’s so inspiring. Great set and very funny

Wonderful to raise awareness of autism and tics ….. thank you Alex, there are so many people out there who will feel less alone and more confident in themselves after seeing this. You will help so many. Thank you. Keep doing what you are doing 🎉

I went to school with this guy, fairly decent fella kept to himself I'm glad he's doing well

The fact that some people are being negative about him just shows they don't know what he has gone through all his life well done Alex as Simon said he nailed it within the first 10 seconds!

Why do ppl assume. he’s faking? I’ve got fnd and it’s not easy to live with. People need to study the condition a bit before jumping into conclusions. It’s nice to be recognised. Spreading awareness is important. Good luck.

Really love this guy. So genuine and so funny.

Go mr mitchell my computing teacher❤😂😅😊

This was a class act. Loved it ❤

Great performance! This man was meant to be a comedian. I’m so happy for him!

As someone with autism I can identify with worrying about small insignificant things. I'm happy he made the final.

He's just fantastic. I wish him all the best.

13 years into having FND, never seen anyone on one of these shows with it. And now… this inspires me even more to want to get back on the stage!

Oh man, that was amazing.

Aw he was great! I felt for him with all his tics, but he battled through and what I liked how he commented on a few of them, best way to be on comedy honest and direct, and tackle the issues head on!

So pleased for Alex - his comedy routine hit the right tone, and he's an inspiration.

Amazing Alex! Thank you for the jokes about FFND lol. I like what simon said about being welcome on this show, it made me emotional because I have FND and where i work at a job i loved so much has pushed me out and I know i'm not welcome there anymore because of my diagnosis. I'm happy for Alex though finding where you belong, congratulations!

Brilliant how he can turn negatives into positives and be funny about it . This man is a good laugh and I hope he keeps it up for stand ups to come.

On that night I was there.He has a real chance of winning the show because the standing ovation at the end was wild

if he ever did his bit in South Africa, where they actually have a click language, there will be a lot of confused people. lol.

Mad respect that this guy did his whole act straight through his tics. No maybe he’s not the funniest I’ve ever seen but he has such interesting material to work with, a hella fresh perspective and represents neurodiverse people we write off every day. I can see why he went through. 💕

Tbh he was loads better than the stand up guy the previous day and he had the likeability factor (louis walsh trademark) so he was deserved to go through. Not the best material but the guy commands the stage like a boss.

He's an Awesome Being!! 💗💗💗

U know hes got it when he made joke out of his sudden strong ticks on the fly.

Better than yesterdays stand up

What a great guy, so funny but also, so genuine! Well Done Alex!

❤❤❤

God bless you brother. Very kind ending remarks ❤. Am also single just incase😅

Good for him - great representation for the little-known FND.

Not the best material but his adlibbing was excellent. Can see him on shows like 8 out 10 cats, etc..

As someone also diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder, I sincerely am encouraged seeing people like Alex succeed. Seeing FND become more known is deeply encouraging.

I LOVE HIM

Didn’t laugh but seems nice guy

Came here to say thankyou! Feeling validated and feeling seen 😊 excellent comedian. Tics are a part of us but do not define us. Well done xx

I loved this performance, I laughed and cried, I felt so much joy and tears in the same time! I wish you the best, Alex! My vote goes for you! You have your place in this world - own it, you deserve the best, own are amazing!

Charming 🎉🎉

I'm in contact with dead people and when I ordered a pizza the waiter said "medium?" I said "yes but I'm off duty" There. That's a joke but this is just waffle.

Love WILL always win ❤️

He's so funny 😂

❤and...the green pepper looks nice on a pizza. Just saying... congratulations mr. Mitchell!

People were PRE-BOOING Simon hahaha

Love Amanda's top. It's beautiful 😍

Well done Alex!! You are so awesome!!

What an amazing guy… naturally funny, love him. He deserves to win BGT.

Respect for the courage to perform. Having said that, not 1 joke was in the least bit funny. I wouldn't even call them jokes.

Alex Mitchell that is the name to watch out for a very funny comedian and he can take the Mickey out of his disability I Agree with Simon i think you wont be a teacher for much longer all the luck in the world.

The guy stands head and shoulders above any comedian I've seen on this show ... And to perform so well with a tick. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I think Alex is brilliant.

As somone the suffers from fnd so proud

Would be so cool to be part of the Audience BGT , Alas I am in New Zealand 🇳🇿 So RU-vid is closest we can get ❤ Where in world are you ? 👇

4:39 😂😂🦡

Tick tock boom

I don't normally find disabled comedians funny but he's pretty funny

Absolutely brilliant

I have had fnd 11 years and hide away. Alex for the win!

He needs to win

Awesome hilarious performance 😂 The best comedians are the ones who are naturally funny, and he truly is. He is a master of ad libs Great message at the end also

Alex for the win!

Isn't grand that we with disabilities turn them into bring it on abilities!!! Tell me I can't and I will show you I can 10 fold!

Amazing act and comedy 8:25

This is amazing and it makes it even better Cus my second name is Mitchell to

Sympathy votes

He was so funny I don’t understand why some didn’t find him funny. You obviously got a problem if you didn’t think it was funny and you need to book a doctors appointment now to get checked out to see if they can make you laugh 😂🤣

Super-duper funny! I loved the sign for Bruno!

Potential winner I think

Hope the Melbourne comedy festival bring this guy to aus.

Wow he should win very funny i love him

Autism Unite!!!! Let's GOOOO

My winner for the hole thing! Roll on Sunday

Anyone know where his shirt is from?

I get the awareness for autism, tics and the courage to perform. The show is based on talent, and I didn't find him funny at all. We have so many good comedians the bar is raised pretty high!

I hope this guy wins, he's so good!!

Hilarious is not exactly how I would have called it.

I am not trying to be negative about Alex as he has a great personality and seem like a really great person but I just don't find him funny.

it’s so amazing to see representation for FND, i was diagnosed in february and have been so lost. Have had tics for over 5 years and non epileptic seizures for 18 months plus various other symptoms. had never heard of fnd until diagnosed and it’s so nice to see people openly talking about such a misunderstood condition 🫶

Bless him

The dark knight should have gone through to the final instead of Alex

I’m calling it now He’s going to be the Winner of BGT 2024 🏆🔥👑

Speaking as someone with autism, the pepper thing was so relatable 🤣 Brilliant performance 👏 Hope he does well in the final ❤

This guy deserves to win the whole thing.sadly will be a singer or some other crap

Is about as funny as a fart in the wind

This is so bad. But will get through as people will feel sorry for him.

You already know he is this year's winner don't you

Both him and the camp comedian with accents were on par with their followups to their auditions if you ask me. Not fantastic

Fair play to the guy he has achieved so much considering his tic, but I’m afraid he’s just not funny. Loads of respect for him just not funny imho.

9 minutes of watching a horse trotting by

It's people like this who make ne proud to share the same disabilities as them

✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

I thought a comedian was supposed to be funny, Alex fell flat on his face in that respect.

sorry but all credit to him with his conditions but I didn't find him funny

If he doesn’t win the UK is ducking dumb

Sorry but when a sob act takes the place of those stunning Japanese dancers there's something wrong.
