So, I was just messing around online the other day, looking for something funny to watch. You know how it is, just clicking around. Ended up landing on some clips from America’s Got Talent. That’s when I first saw this guy, Tom Cotter.
Honestly, I didn’t know who he was at first. Just saw ‘comedian’ and thought, okay, let’s give this a shot. Watched his audition first. Man, that guy talks fast! But it was sharp, really witty stuff. Didn’t expect that kind of rapid-fire jokes.
My Deep Dive into Cotter’s AGT Run
After that first clip, I got curious. So, what did I do? I went looking specifically for Tom Cotter AGT stuff. Spent a good hour or so just watching his journey through the competition.
- Watched his audition again, just to catch things I missed.
- Found his performances from the later rounds, like Vegas week and the live shows.
- Saw how he handled different challenges, like those audience-suggestion bits.
It was interesting just seeing him progress. You could tell he was polished, been doing comedy for a while, but seeing it in that high-pressure AGT format was different. I wasn’t exactly taking notes like for work, but I did pay attention to how he structured his sets, especially the short ones they get on TV.
What Stood Out To Me
The thing that really stuck with me was just his relentless pace. Most comedians I watch have pauses, build-ups. Cotter was like a machine gun, joke after joke. And they were smart jokes too, not just simple stuff. He covered a lot of ground really quickly.
I remember thinking, “How does he even remember all that, let alone say it so fast?” It seemed practiced, but still came off natural, somehow. That takes skill. Seeing him handle the pressure, especially in the finals, was pretty impressive. He came in second, right? Yeah, close.
Final Thoughts After My Watch Session
So, after watching a bunch of his AGT clips, I felt like I’d really seen something cool. It wasn’t life-changing or anything, but it was a solid chunk of entertainment. Made me appreciate stand-up comedy a bit more, especially that style.
Didn’t really do much after that. Maybe mentioned it to a buddy, like, “Hey, saw this really fast comedian on AGT, you should check him out.” But mostly, it was just a personal viewing session. Good reminder that sometimes just stumbling onto something unexpected online can lead you down a fun little rabbit hole for an hour or two. Just watching and enjoying the performance, that was the main thing.
