His website<\/a> shares: “Hill has performed three different hours at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, and had a successful 3-date run at the prestigious Soho Theatre.”<\/p>\nIt adds: “His fast-paced comedy is often an expose on his real experiences with autism and ADHD, and an ode to his many special interests, from US presidents to graphs and maps.”<\/p>\n
Plenty of viewers took to X to share their love for Ted’s act, as one posted: “Absolutely hilarious and deserving of the golden buzzer!”<\/p>\n
Another commented: “Deserved that buzzer \u2026 I thought he was great \u2026 unique”.<\/p>\n
A third said: “I loved that audition. He’s really funny.”<\/p>\n
Not everyone felt it was deserved though, as one wrote: “The Golden Buzzer literally means nothing anymore.<\/p>\n
“What happend to acts who actually deserved it?<\/p>\n
“It’s just given out to anyone like sweets nowadays.”<\/p>\n
Who else has got a golden buzzer so far in BGT 2026?<\/p>\n
Ant and Dec’s golden buzzer was the fifth of the series, with Simon Cowell, KSI, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden already pressing theirs.<\/p>\n
Simon was the first to press the gold in the opening episode, to Australian para athlete Paul Nunnari, who blew away the judging panel with his incredible wheelchair stunts.<\/p>\n
KSI awarded the second golden buzzer of the series to 16-year-old magician Rafferty Coope, whose trick involved making a coin pass through solid glass and a card trick that led to him playing the song Don’t Stop Believing on the piano.<\/p>\n
The third golden buzzer was awarded to entertainment act Antigravity by Alesha Dixon.<\/p>\n
Their audition followed one of the actors as they floated around on a screen, following routes and paths as if they were in a video game.<\/p>\n
The judges said it was one of the best performances in the show’s 19-year history, and the first of its kind.<\/p>\n
Finally, Amanda Holden awarded her golden buzzer to the 34-person choir made up entirely of real British farmers.<\/p>\n
It was created as a promotional and campaigning project linked to Jeremy Clarkson\u2019s Hawkstone beer and cider brand.<\/p>\n
