The 28-year-old North Bay native who now lives in Toronto, lives with cerebral palsy and used a computer-generated voice from his phone to help with his comedy routine which impressed the high-profile panel of judges. "It's been a wild year and it is only getting wilder. Thank you all for your tremendous support so far and for your future support."
Belisle, who is an engineer, explained he got the confidence to perform from some comedians in Portugal after he made them laugh. Belisle made the judges Howie Mandel, Simon Cowall, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum chuckle, poking fun at himself as well as his heritage. "Stephen Hawking had Amyotrphic Lateral Sclerosis and I'm Canadian. I am French on my left side," he joked. “I cannot believe you’ve only been doing this for one year,” said Mandel after the audition.
“You seem to have a grasp of timing and humor. You open up the conversation and normalize humanity and originality and you’re funny.”“Sir, you’re not going to be doing engineering much longer. I think you’re going to be full-time performing.”“It was just a great, great audition,” he said. “I love how you found your way," she said.
