[@troyclayton1775]

I worked on the air conditioning at Kev & Betty's house when I was an apprentice and he is one of the cleverest, loveliest guys you'll ever meet. Both of them are the uncle and aunt you always wanted but never got. He adores his kids and grandkids and they are the best grandparents. He's a national treasure.

Absolute top bloke and Betty is lovely... my mums ex partner/business partner way back dated Betty...

[@darrenwells2277]

Went to see Kevin on tour here in the UK a couple of days ago.... I laughed more than I have in a long long time.

[@colinvanrensburg4652]

Saw him doing a concert at the Victoria Theatre in London in 93 or 94 - never laughed so much in my life....

[@michaelrawson6261]

Discovered Kevin 32 years ago in 1990, bought a car, mk1 Vauxhall Cavalier, and in the tape deck (yes! ... TAPE!!!) was a copy of The Far Canal Album. I played it on the way home from the bloke's house I bought the car from... pissed myself laughing the whole way!!!

[@tonydean33]

Kev says the most sensible things about racism I've ever heard. Some people take things far too seriously!

[@brucebird133]

Well said.

And it's only gotten worse since you wrote that comment, Tony. Now we live in the 'age of offended'. Every bloody thing is offensive, if they want it to be. I can't even write comments about my bl*ck f*lla mates without someone in head office here thinking it's racist and deleting the comment. I can't even shorten the name aboriginal to the first 3 letters, as most aussies do. But to be fair - I lived next to a reserve and they lived closer to their ancestors than any I've met in the city... a little sad, but, those in the cities have been taught to be offended while they offend whoever the hell they want... or at least the ones I've met. Those bushie mates loved to laugh, especially at themselves. Kev would have appealed to their sense of humour in a big way.

[@TheThetechnician]

Denton one of the few interviewers who is unbiased and kets people explain their point of view whilst still challenging them with respect too

[@chadwickgoddard3090]

Legend. We need more like him.

[@karlnangelalee5451]

I met Kev while in the UK, although to some his material is not to everyone, but he is still an absolute genius and makes me laugh every time I hear his music. Long Live Kev

[@henrizzays]

Hello from Darwin NT and from my family in Oenpelli. He's one of a kind and the best... Cheers Kev

[@yukibond4182]

What an amazing interviewer. Full of challenging questions but with such grace and always to welcome the response.

[@jackwhite277]

Met him and his wife in ‘85 - blew me away ..... articulate, incisive, compassionate ..... taught me a lesson in humility and about making assumptions. Suddenly ‘Livin next door to Alan,’ became a Uni thesis.

[@Gokizzmass]

The ABC would've hated that... good.

[@FuddyRulz]

love the guy. he's a true blue ozzie. thanks for putting this up.

[@chrisbrockgeezer5511]

Thanks for posting. KBW is always the one that makes me laugh. Such a smart cookie too.

[@debbishenton4273]

Absolute legend . Before it was kbw. At the main reef tavern in boulder in was the bd trio. Thanks for the memories 😂

[@scottkenzig5144]

I watched and got to meet Kevin Bloody Wilson and he is a cracking good Australian. Keep it up mate. You are not racist. You tell how it is. 😅🤣

[@caughtinamashup7208]

Great interview. I've been to three Kev shows throughout the years. Had CDs signed at two of them and he was a really nice guy.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Same, he's such a lovely guy and every time I've seen him he has stayed behind to greet fans.

[@thedolphin5428]

Points to the ABC for not censoring the language in this show. I reckon overseas visitors would be surprised to find out this was on the national, free-to-air broadcaster !

[@edwardcatton1047]

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!, built on bloody good Humour?.

That is so bloody cool the king of England knows who Kevin bloody Wilson is 🤣

Love ya big Kev, Denton was listening to some funny material for the first time in his life

[@PhoebeShmitdt]

Can't wait to see him on the 25th of Oct in Lowestoft. Been waiting for YEARS

[@danmcelhinney8478]

Me and my mum used to listen to Kev's songs on the way to school 😅 I remember the first song she showed me was The Featherbrain Championship. Ended up going to see kev and his daughter perform in Manchester a few years ago with my mum. We plan on going again soon with my little sister 😅

[@hirdy6]

I also missed this, so thanks heaps for posting it here.

[@tigertiger1699]

Priceless… man I miss Kev

[@jackwhitbread4583]

You know he is still touring right? Nothing stopping you from watching Kev live.

[@bunyinjbhadi7212]

We met Kevin whilst we were on tour in Tasmania before he became 'Bloody', and he played us his first album before it was produced for the public. My band could not stop laughing for at least a week.....especially when we heard the Santa song!!!

[@wadesharp11]

What a nice man! Great interview and we’ll spoken. Humour at its best

[@IanGorton]

Saw him at Newcastle Panthers on Thursday Night. Fantastic show

[@jadewarrior4458]

I was there too hehe.

[@Slashkamr]

It's a great interview he was asking his opinion on everything...

[@stuartrutty8849]

I remember watching you play at Bristol Colston hall, I was there with Nick and Nige on the front row, We were having a Very !! good time, you even commented to us about it, 😄😅🤣🙃😂😊 that was well over 20 years ago now, thanks for a great evening,

[@hoggingtondog]

I love Kev! Living in the states hes like a lifeline back to aussie. Long live Kev, he's the best.

[@markarcher5730]

Loved this guy . Went and saw him when I could.

[@SSVREDLINE]

Your a bloody legend Kevin keep it up.

[@DoomsdayDevice9mm]

Hello from Scotland! I had never heard of this guy until someone on a Celtic FC forum pointed him out that hes playing here in Motherwell on tuesday. I love the guy already! Absolutely hilarious and his direct style is so unique! Think i might purchase a couple of tickets to it for me and my burd ;) Cheers for the vids HungryJacks mate :)

[@mikespearwood3914]

did you go?

[@chinesejohn5013]

I have been to war. I have paid off a mortgage. I have kept my kids clothed and fed. None of this impressed them. When I told them that KBW is a mate of mine, I attained god like status. 😁

[@robleary3353]

Brilliantly uncouth, yet elloquent!. On ya Kev!

[@MrSteamer711]

To the 5 people who dislike.. GET A LIFE.. This guy is one pure Aussie and tells it how it is. This is Australia at its best and good on em for making us laugh. If you don't like my comment well you know what they say DILLIGAF.

[@robbiewales3007]

I agree Steve. Kev is a true blue Aussie legend and there isn't too many out there that make us laugh like he does. All his songs are F**king funny i.e. the Alan Bond song. "Alan, who the f**k is Alan?"

[@MrSteamer711]

Bloody Hell, its 12 months + since I looked at these comments, very true on what you sale there Robbie, He tells it the way its.. "Am I being political correct enough".. LOL .

[@robbiewales3007]

I saw Kev and his daughter Jenny Taylia from Australia about a week ago. Very great show. Kev made it clear right from the start that it is a political correctness free zone. The funniest thing he said too was, "if the Islamic community want a mosque. Sure, we will build them a mosque as long as they let us build a pub, a bottle shop and a strippers across the road from it." That got a very good laugh.

[@terrylick5908]

+Robbie Wales spot on.👍

[@timnew4312]

When I was a kid I put Kevin's tape in my dad's work van.... which he was borrowing from a colleague, .... the tape only got stuck in the player so his colleague had to listen to it on repeat from then on lol

[@YuleDog1]

I just love this guy

[@stretchlindsay3547]

I met Kev while working at the Burswood Casino a long time ago and was the only person who could make me and my dad laugh by insulting my dad. Need more of him and Col Elliot duo style. Hey Denton, if your a smart lad then realise, Words Don't Hurt, A fist to the head does! Ergo, if you hate a word then it must have physically hard!

[@littleaussierippa]

I've met Kev a couple of times and he is the most down to earth and pleasant bloke you'll ever meet. Very polite and respectful to talk to. And he's right, racism IS born out of hate. Political correctness IS a load of fuckin bullshit. People need to get a sense of humour, buy a bag of cement and harden the fuck up.

[@kristenfromOZ]

Totally agree

[@benbunyip]

“Buy a bag of cement and harden up.” That one’s a keeper! 😂😂😂

[@cameronplater4484]

And bring back common fucking sence.... cus he's fucking right, it doesn't seem to exist in these fucktards in charge currently....

[@DJ.LakeSea]

Absolute legend! KBW makes people laugh, whilst respecting people. He never once took offence to Dentons hard-hitting questions, he answered them in honesty.

[@hellohandsome9875]

Love Kev, he's absolutely brilliant

[@MrPenisMaximus]

One of the funniest comebacks I've ever heard hahaha!

[@eamonstafford2056]

I saw Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson at the Wellington Town Hall in 1987. The place was packed to the hilt. Some guy in the balcony seats kept screaming out while he was talking. Kevin called out, 'If ya don't shut up, I;ll come up there and rip your head off and the security will piss down your neck' Everyone in the place just cheered in agreement. One of the funniest shows I went to and I was 3 rows from the front of the stage.

[@themightybooosh]

[@Dodgeprlk]

hahah good ole kev, i went along to the dilligaf tour in perth. Sooo good.

[@Wasabiwannabe]

What a champion, and dead right about the racism too. Some of my best mates are aborignial, they love his songs like I do. What is a bit forgotten is that he is extremely talented as a musician!! listen to his music the songs are well written. a bit underrated i reckon. 'the flood of 95' sung by Slim Dusty was written by Kev it is a terrific song

[@brendancarney6582]

In a world where political correctness has gone off the rails Kev reminds us of who we are ,we’re Aussies all of us Thank you Kev your a legend.

[@mattblack9069]

Its political correctness that has caused the upheaval around the western world today by nit- picking every single phrase and word we use and calling it offensive, what a load of bull shyte.

[@danielson1989]

Kev comes to the local coffee shop down the road from me and when I see him on the Fridays he is just so funny.

[@pieterschwartz5521]

Love Kev, he is a classic comic music classic😂😂😂

[@matthewgrove-jones3001]

Australia's favourite Uncle!

[@leonardjones3461]

When the interviewer asked him about not being "In the mainstream," I was reminded of Frank Zappa. Zappa could have been a great commercial success if he was in the mainstream. He could have been a superstar if he stuck to pop music. Zappa, like Wilson, marched to the beat of a different drummer. In my mind, comedy is sacrosanct. Political correctness has caused many black comedians to boycott shows on college campuses. Mel Brooks could not produce Blazing Saddles in the current environment. The average American Indian could not give a rats ass about the word Indian, the Braves, the Indians, the Redskins, etc. A tiny minority of Americans are dictating to the vast majority! My first exposure to Kevin "Bloody" Wilson was a third or fourth generation back in about 1992. I have been a fan ever since. I am part Mick, part Limey, part Kraut and I have NEVER lost my ability to take a joke!

[@NixFanBoy007]

See. This is why I love being Australian. We know how to laugh at ourselves

[@matthewcleaver5565]

You're a fucken' legend Kev love your work mate always listen to your songs

[@Yuval_L1974]

That quip about Camilla Parker-Bowles (Queen Consort sounds saucy dunnit) was golden... "You wouldn't fuck her on a footy trip...". Ahhh KBW is priceless. What a legend.

[@thehoff1982]

how many so called artists today can just burst into a live performance from the interviewers chair? amazing!

[@robertborg852]

I’m glad he never went mainstream

[@itsahonker6849]

“People make jokes about differences.” Stand up bloke. Stand up mate.

[@dee8244]

Going to watch him in October in Basingstoke

[@thehoff1982]

old mate sitting near kev's missus should remove that pole from his backside and have a laugh

[@TheTopend2]

Yea, What a F-Wit.

[@arthurdonachy]

Denton has enormous balls interviewing this bloke. You can see he's uncomfortable and not convinced but still gives the man the space to air his feelings. Kudos to AD.

[@dmisso42]

Once met Dennis at his home in Scarborough W.A. with his daughter Tammy. His public persona as Kevin Bloody and his private self could not be more different. His satirical persona must have been a satisfaction for his own ego. I can't see KBW as being anything other that Dennis's "revenge" on a class of people who he despised.

Hey Santa... or actually a censored version was played I believed once in 1988 on Fox FM... It was absolutely funny as on the packed freeway into the city I can tell who was listening to the song.... They were all laughing ever so hard and some nearly had nose to end crashes because they were laughing so hard.

[@griffinzoo1]

I was at the gig in Usk he mentions. Fucking legend.

[@drsolace]

He didn't sound condescending. It's an awkward thing to ask a person but needed to be asked; Notice how it spawned some very interesting insights from KBW.

[@aeromech8563]

Mate your a fkn legend

[@Justin-lf1fs]

34 people must of disliked the fact Kev is being interviewed by a political correct andrew Denton.

[@quibid1568]

Knowing Kevin Wilson's work very well , his background, mates of all backgrounds and heritage and he is not racist. He is realistic about what people say and avoids anything that is intended to be racist or discriminatory. That is why he has such a large following and those of who know him respect his very open minded approach and gets so many who do not understand the comedy actually display more racism and discrimination than he ever could even if he wanted to. Denton's media approach questioning in fact displayed a more discriminatory and racist note totally unlike Kevin and his honest neutrality. ..

[@chuckselvage3157]

I like how he finished up doing DILLIGAF 🤣

[@ianking-w6f]

Articulate, honest and interesting. Classic.

[@scottkenzig5144]
