Kevin Bloody Wilson: Dilligaf Café tour
Show type: Tour
After a year or so of performing his mischievous songs (to three miners and a dog) in the Western Australian mining town of Kargoorlie, some of Kev’s mates suggested he record his songs so that they could show their friends.
Twenty years, countless live gigs and millions of album sales down the track, Kevin Bloody Wilson has not only found his niche, he’s grabbed a deckchair and he’s made himself really bloody comfortable in it!
Kev’s songs match the Kalgoorlie landscape, dry and unforgiving. These songs are uniquely Australian, and yet year after year, album after album, tour after tour, people from all corners of the globe keep laughing their guts out at Kevin Bloody Wilson’s completely authentic and original body of work.

Steve, I'm sorry but you obviously just dont get it, you fail to point out the numerous white based racist jokes made by Kevin. Especially at the expense of typical Australians. The whole point is that no one is safe - its all in Jest. I wouldn't go to a Christ Rock gig and not expect to have a plethora of the "White man is keeping me down" BS thrown in my face - (Chris - your black - I get it!) - it's all part of the show. Likewise with Kevin Wilson. I went with 2 asian friends and they saw the funny side of it - it only seems to be overly sensitive PC types (exactly the kind of people not expected to attend his gigs) that kick up a fuss. There was no hated - it was just jest and the sooner everyone in this country can deal with that - the sooner we will be able to integrate.

Saw Kev last night in Lowestoft and it was everything I expected and more. You know exactly what to expect when you see the likes of him, Chubby Brown etc etc so to come away and be offended just baffles me! If this isn't your cup of tea, then don't go. Don't be so shallow about it all, Kev speaks his mind, and the large majority of every audience will agree with what he says, because he is spot on. The line that summed it up for me was 'you can't offend the muslims -but I find putting bombs in planes and train stations quite offensive myself'! Good on ya Kev, keep doing what you do cos your a 'fuckin legend'!

Thank you Steve Bennett... You summed up my feelings perfectly. The worst part about the show was that the loudest cheers of the night came from a minority of the crowd each time a crap racist 'joke' was made. There is nothing clever about his humour. I wasn't determined to hate the show from the start. I stupidly thought it may be similar to Billy Connolly type humour. How wrong I was. Billy Connolly has a functioning brain. Kevin 'bloody rubbish' Wilson doesn't and neither do half of the audience there to see him it seemed- and there were tons of empty seats too - those lucky people who decided to stay at home and stick pins in their eyeballs to benefit from a more enjoyable experience probably.

Seen Kev in Lancaster last night and as usual the show was 1st class, the only downside was that Jenny was at home in the states spending time with her family. This guy is fantastic and cannot be called racist because he picks on everybody!

Well SBennett just shows the difference between the terminally politically correct anally retentive Poms and their Australian cousins who can have a laugh and NOT take it seriously. This bloke is really funny and worth seeing or listening to. Black fellas I have met think he's funny too so get a life. Twat

Why go and see a show like this when you were obviously determined to hate it from the start. Your review is hardly constructive is it? The guy is a genius and political correctness needs to be put in perspective by someone like this! You need to change your job mate!

"From even the slimmest knowledge of Kevin Bloody Wilson’s reputation, you’d probably know what to expect" Your own words to start a so called review, assuming that you done your job properly and acquired such knowledge why bother to go and see if the performance if you are so easily offended. However, it is clear that you did not do your homework, Kevin did not mention the word turban, he said HAT. These hats have a variety of styles including the Fez, did Tommy Copper offend you when he wore his. Pathetic review from a pathetic review

Get a life, if you find it offensive in the immortal words f*** off.

Steve... the Kevin B Wilson show is obviously not to your taste. Please don't bother going to one of his future shows or even reviewing his performances any further. Your seat at the show is commonly known as 'a waste of a ticket' (which would be more appreciated by one of his many fans which were denied a seat by your anappreciated freebie. If you had heart palpitations at Mr. Wilson's brand of comedy... I urge you to see Jerry Sadowitz at the earliest opportunity.
