Daliso Chaponda, a 37-year-old comedian impressed the judges and the audience alike and made it to Britian’s Got Talent’s final last month.

Although Daliso didn’t win the final but because of his hilarious comedy he bags himself a show on BBC Radio 4.

Talking about his new role, the Malawian ‘stand-up comedian’ said, ‘I am extremely excited to have a show on Radio 4 because it’s been what I’ve listened to on trains and buses to gigs for years. I am delighted I’ll now be able to tune into myself!’

Speaking about the new singing, Radio 4’s commissioning editor Sioned William said: ‘Daliso’s comedy is shrewd and thought-provoking as well as being very, very funny. I am thrilled to be able to commission a series from him for Radio 4.’ Named, Daliso Chaponda: Citizen Of Nowhere, it will see Daliso presenting on the ‘rocky historical waters of Britain’s relationship with Africa’.

Previously, he worked in co-creating and starring in Radio 4 drama When The Laughter Stops in 2014, and a stint on The Now Show earlier this year.

His performance in BGT’s season finale stood-out.
