He Brought a Keytar to Britain’s Got Talent—What Happened Next Had Everyone Entertained. During Week 6 of the 2013 auditions on Britain’s Got Talent, Dutch performer Maarty Broekman delivered an audition that stood out for its unusual combination of music, comedy, and personality. Carrying a keytar—a distinctive instrument that combines features of a keyboard and guitar—Maarty walked onto the stage with a playful attitude that immediately made the audience curious about what he had planned.
From the moment the music began, Maarty showed that his performance would be about much more than simply playing an instrument. His quirky style, confident movements, and sense of humor created an entertaining atmosphere throughout the audition. Rather than delivering a conventional musical performance, he added plenty of personality and theatrical flair, keeping both the judges and audience engaged.
One of the most memorable parts of the audition was Maarty’s interaction with Alesha Dixon. With a cheeky smile and plenty of confidence, he directed much of his attention toward the judge, creating a playful dynamic that quickly became part of the entertainment. The interaction brought laughter from the panel and audience while allowing Maarty’s personality to become just as important as his musical ability.
Ultimately, the audition demonstrated that memorable talent-show performances aren’t always about having the biggest voice or the most complicated routine. Maarty combined musical skill, humor, confidence, and stage presence to create an act that was distinctly his own. His unusual keytar performance proved that sometimes the most entertaining auditions are the ones that surprise viewers, make them laugh, and leave them remembering the performer long after the music stops.
