Barry Brewer leaves the audience laughing out loud on AGT
Tonight's episode of AGT saw host Terry Crews welcome a new set of contestants from all over the world to perform on stage for the fifth audition round. Throughout the evening, viewers witnessed a fair share of incredible and mediocre performances, which left them with mixed emotions. No golden buzzers were handed out this week.
The second half of the AGT episode saw Barry Brewer make his debut on the stage. The Chicago native is a musician turned comedian and performed stand-up comedy at The Windy City before pursuing a full-time entertainment career.
According to NBC, Barry has several acting gigs to his credit, including essaying the role of John in Bruh, produced by Tyler Perry, Tyrese in the comedy series The Perfect Plan, and Eric in the sports drama Games People Play.
The comedian entered the AGT stage on crutches. He joked about "hanging in there," before explaining to the judges that he tore his Achilles while playing basketball. He also expressed being encouraged by the church to pursue comedy after receiving a standing ovation from the people there.
For his audition, Barry spoke about how a woman held on to her purse looking at him on a plane, giving a fun twist to the racial stereotype, adding that he wouldn't be able to run with the purse anyway as he was on crutches. Accompanying some music to his commentary, the comedian proceeded to differentiate between white and black churches.
The AGT contestant expressed how white churches have a simple approach to reading passages from the Bible, but the black church is more serious while preaching. He impersonated the pastors in both churches and left the whole auditorium of people laughing, including the judges.
The judges complimented the comedian's skills and applauded his use of music. They also expressed wanting the act to continue. Barry received all of the judges' approvals, advancing him to the next round of the competition.
