Manchester Grandma's Wit Gains Notice On 'America's Got Talent' [VIDEO]

MANCHESTER, NJ — She's loud. She's brash. And she's grabbing attention on America's Got Talent.

Julia Scotti, a standup comedian from Manchester Township, has made it through the initial round of auditions on Season 11 of the show. And she is full of surprises.

"My primary care doctor is a paleontologist," Scotti, 63, says at one point in her routine as she makes fun of her age.

Scotti, who is a retired teacher, had the four judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Heidi Klum — all laughing hard by the end of her routine.

Next up are the live shows. The Manchester Township Council offered its good luck wishes to Scotti as she headed into them, saying, "We are thrilled to witness your accomplishments on national television and support your endeavor to realize your hopes and dreams."

Here's Scotti's audition performance. Make sure you watch it to the end.
