TORONTO, April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Key moments from tonight’s episode of Canada’s Got Talent, include:
- America’s Got Talent alumni FUNKANOMETRY (Vancouver Island, BC) wowed the judges with a stellar performance on Canadian soil.
- DANIEL POWTER (Vernon, BC) surprised the audience by singing “Bad Day,” an original song he wrote that topped the charts for several weeks in 2005.
- MITCHELL HRYCAN (Saskatoon, SK) duped the judges when his twin, MICHAEL HRYCAN, surprised the crowd in a shocking twist!
- THERE IS A BALL ON MY HEAD (Montreal, QC) had the audience in stitches with his antics, tricks, and moves – all while balancing a ball on his head.
- AIR SUP ACROYOGA (Ste-Agathe des Monts, QC) coined themselves as non-conventional yogis when they performed acrobatic yoga whilst balancing a glass of wine. Lilly said the performance was “going straight into the girls’ group chat.”
- HR professional TROY JAMES (Brampton, ON) shocked the audience when he contorted his way across the #CGT stage like a human spider.
- 79-year-old MARK LEWIS (Toronto, ON) received the group Golden Buzzer after performing close-up magic tricks, Lilly said he was “born to do magic and comedy.”
- Toronto Maple Leafs anthem singer NATALIE MORRIS (Toronto, ON) received a standing ovation after her cover of “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile.
