Gatis Kandis
Who Gatis Kandis is
Gatis Kandis is a Latvian comedian whose act is built on being intentionally, magnificently terrible — a style that carried him to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent in 2012, where David Walliams called it 'so bad, it's actually brilliant' and Simon Cowell crowned him the 'funniest unfunniest comedian I have ever heard in my life'.
He has performed a guest stand-up routine on Big Brother UK, toured with eighty comedians on the 2018 Eastern European Comedy Festival, played the Camden Comedy Club's Never Mind the Backstop night in 2019, and won first prize at Leicester Square's Not-So-New Comedian of the Year the same year. He played Hansl in the sitcom What The Frick? and runs a YouTube channel where the deadpan instructional videos — how to open a gate, how to generate electricity from a fleece — carry the same glorious anti-comedy.
