BGT winner Jon Courtenay announces Blackpool show for December

Jon, the first Golden Buzzer act ever to win Britain’s Got Talent (BGT), delighted judges and the public with his humorous and sometimes poignant self-penned songs, interspersed with comedy patter as he sat at the piano.

The singer, pianist and comedian is due to perform at the Opera House Blackpool on Saturday December 12 at 7.30pm, to launch his debut tour of the UK.

His highly anticipated show will be a mix of self-penned songs and classics interspersed with hilarious tales from his life on the road.

BGT viewers heard Simon Cowell tell him: "Wonderful. You are someone who has worked hard for years and needs a break and I am sure you will get a huge reaction from this, I promise you."

Jon originally hails from Ipswich but now lives in Mossley, Greater Manchester with his wife Emmah and two sons Nathan and Alfie.

He started his stage career as a comedy magician but gradually the magic made way for the piano.

Even before he won Britain’s Got Talent, Jon was already a powerhouse live performer with decades of experience touring the world.

He is also one of the rare British performers to be asked time and time again to perform in America.

His originality and remarkable stage presence have led to hugely successful shows in the corporate market as well as on all the major luxury cruise lines.

It is not yet known if the Government's decision on national Covid tier arrangements will affect the show, but Jon is all primed for the journey to Blackpool.

His tour includes venues across the whole of England and is due to end in November.
