Judge Piers Morgan commented that the jokes were terrible but delivered a confident performance. Simon Cowell said that "We've had some rotten comedians on this show, but you're the only one who's made me laugh and told jokes that I could understand". Amanda Holden commented that Wernham has "funny bones". Wernham received three 'yes' votes from the judges and was put through to the next round. He made it through to the live semi-finals.
