Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson
Posted by: Misguided Fool on 04 November 2005
Everyone,
Had a very entertaining evening last week watching Kev in Southport.
I was wondering what other people thought of his humour and songs.
I personally don't find him offensive and don't believe that he has a racist bone in his body. Yet most of his songs do pick on the typical racial streotypes that get jumped on by the politically correct brigade. Kev makes a big point in his show about 'Political Correctness' and the fact that one word cancels out the other. He also made the point that racism is born out of hatred not humour.
Yet similar jokes told by the likes of Bernard Manning, Chubby Brown, Jim Davidson etc, I DO find offensive and make me feel very uncomfortable.
I was wondering what it is that is different about Kev than the other comedians who tell similar jokes.
Also, can Kev's songs be classed as good music. I love listening to them every now and again.
Would love to know other peoples thoughts on this.
Regards
Mark

Where's me fucking bike? 
I've liked Kev's music and lyrics since the halcyon days when we had 19th generation dubs on Tandy Concertape in school in 1988 
Saw him live 2 years ago and he's fantastic - two enthusiastic thumbs up - good holiday fun!
Incidentally, I had to conceal my laughter when my dad was reading from the paper in 1990, turned to my mum and said "LOOK AT THIS - Kevin "Bloody" Wilson - X RATED COMMEDIAN! What kind of scum enjoys this?" (funnily enough, the ad was for a Southport gig....) I almost spat my tea out laughing, since his own son of 15 had 3 tapes in his bedroom at that particular moment.
Needless to say, I went and played "Mick the master farter" rather loud immediately after...
