So what does everyone think of this young, up-and-coming comic?
I have to say, I prefer his earlier work.
Jack Carroll
Someone else I've never heard of.
The Lad on Britain's Got Talent. He's alright, not quite as good as they think (Walliams or Cowell or Holden said 'he was the New Peter Kay', he's still a bit to go, but he is 14, so...)
He came second.
I laughed a couple of times during his final performance, which is pretty rare for a BGT comedian.
Doing standup on BGT is pretty difficult, I would have thought.
You've got to be family-friendly, but you've got to be edgy without risking being offensive. And you've only got two minutes, which only suits certain styles. I think he got the balance right.
He also showed last night that he can ad lib decent gags when required, so he's probably got at least one panel show guest appearance ahead of him if he wants it. If 8 Out Of 10 cats was running right now, he'd be a shoe-in booking.
Did he do a decent joke about the egg thing? If so that is pretty impressive.
He should've won.

He mentioned it, but I was thinking mainly of his general banter outside of the act itself.
