Background

British-born U.S. citizen Jonathan Goodwin is a daredevil, escape artist and stunt performer that has been hanged, buried alive, hung by his toes from helicopters, burned at the stake, attacked by sharks and rattlesnakes, covered in 200,000 bees and more. Jonathan is an accomplished knife thrower, archer, escape artist, martial artist, free diver and free climber.

Jonathan is a single dad and lives in Las Vegas, with his 8-year-old-daughter, Milligan, whom he makes pancakes for on a daily basis. In 2019, Jonathan was a finalist on Britain's Got Talent, and hopes to go at least as far on AGT!

Quarterfinals
