Hearing-impaired comedian Hayden Kristal leaves 'AGT' fans in splits, say 'she has my votes'

'Im gonna be honest, this is the first performance from a comedian during the live shows I genuinely enjoyed,' a fan said after watching the performance

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Despite being hailed as the biggest talent-hunt show in the world, 'America's Got Talent' is yet to get its first comedian winner. While singers, magicians, and even animal acts took home the grand prize of $100,000, no comedian has accomplished that feat yet. Hoping to right this wrong is none other than Hayden Kristal.

Before setting foot onto the semi-finals stage, Hayden acknowledged how it is an upheaval battle for her to win the 'AGT' trophy. While joking about how her being deaf makes her heckle-proof, the witty comedian was optimistic about impressing judges and the audience with her set. Though she admitted that audience engagement would be a challenge for her as she can't hear any sound that's high or low-pitched. Hayden then confidently walked onto the stage and proceeded to talk about her four pet dogs and her hilarious day-to-day experiences with them. By the end of her act, the judges -- Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Heidi Klum -- were laughing their hearts out.

A fan tweeted, "Hayden isn't a good comedian she's a great comedian #AGT."

"Hayden will get in simply because everyone else sucks. She was pretty funny though. #AGT," added a fan. "Hayden is awesome!!!!! Like forreal! I laughed! And that comedic timing is everything. #AmericasGotTalent #AGT," observed a fan.

Fans even took to 'AGT's YouTube clip of her performance to rave about how funny her act was. A fan commented, "I feel like it started really slow but she built it up over time and at the end I had a really good laugh." "She started very slow,then she build her audience.. She is brilliant," expressed a fan.

"She has my votes," declared a fan. "Im gonna be honest, this is the first performance from a comedian during the live shows I genuinely enjoyed. For some reason they're all kind of just completely flopping this year, and from the auditions I thought we had such a funny and fantastic line-up. Lace Larrabee and Aiko Tanaka especially were pretty big let downs, so I'm glad Hayden pulled through," shared a fan.
