Britain’s Got Talent’s Kojo comes to town

-

BRITAIN’S Got Talent 2019’s stand out stand-up comedy star Kojo Anim is out on the road with his debut UK tour.

The father of one was Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer act on this year’s series of the ITV talent show.

The head judge was so blown away by Kojo’s first audition routine he sent him straight into the live semi-finals, saying: “I don’t really like comedians on this show... But I love you!”

That first BGT performanc­e alone has had almost 27m views on YouTube.

His new and exciting show Kojo Anim Presents The Taxi Tour takes in 26 towns and cities across the country.

Born in Ghana, Kojo moved to London

as a child and grew up in Hackney – and he’ll be returning to home territory for the final show of the tour at Hackney Empire on Friday, March 20.

But before that, he will be performing at Loughborou­gh Town Hall on Saturday, February 8, at 7.30pm.

Tickets are on sale now from http:// www.loughborou­ghtownhall.co.uk/ or from www.cuffeandta­ylor.com

Getting set for his debut UK tour, Kojo said: “For me, Britain’s Got Talent wasn’t about winning £250,000, it was a chance to get in front of the judges, and to prove to myself that I can perform in front of anybody. My goal was to make it to the final, and now here I am – preparing my first solo tour, something I’ve been working towards for 20 years.”
