Documentary Film Made About Britain's Got Talent Finalist Robert White

Quote:
A feature-length documentary film is being made about Robert White, the comedian who was a runner-up to Lost Voice Guy Lee Ridley in the Britain's Got Talent final in June, 2018.

The film, directed by fellow comedian Joe Bor, is entitled The Autistic Comedian. It follows White as he heads off on his first post-Britain's Got Talent national tour.

Bor has been working on the film with White for almost a year and hopes it will be out very soon.

"It's a documentary about my friend, comedian and BGT runner up Robert White. Filmed over a few months, it documents Robert's first tour and how he coped with his new found fame and his autism I'm very proud of it and excited for people to see it," says Bor.

I remember seeing him on BGT as a finalist, and thought he was wonderful. So was Lost Voice Man who won it. Both had a marvellously quirky humour and were complete originals.

Will so look forward to seeing this doco if possible.
