Aussie comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson is continuing his hilarious run of his tongue-in-cheek politically incorrect Almost Awesome tour and comes to Griffith in November.
Not his first time in town, he chats to The Area News to tell us what to expect, what he will expect, and a little about his inspirations.
“Griffith is absolutely beautiful,” he said.
“On this tour it will be even more outstanding because we are coming down through the drought areas, like Dubbo, Forbes and those places, hopefully bringing some humour in.”
At 71 years of age, Kevin is nowhere near slowing down any time yet.
Political correctness. Those two words don't go well together - if something is political it is not often correct.

“I was asked recently if I had thought about retiring and the answer to that is that I'm doing what I do for a hobby anyway just writing songs and performing.
“Second to that what would I retire to, because I'm not a good fisherman I don't like fishing, I'm not a good golfer and I'm not a good gardener because you are only allowed two "plants" in WA.”
As for his show, his humour and philosophies may hit very close to home for some of the stauncher religious characters around town.
“I put religion in the same category as political correctness. Those two words don't go well together – if something is political its not often correct.
“The show it not built around political correctness but you'll find that there is a lot of humor in the show that would be deemed politically insensitive.”
Known for his songs like Dick’taphone, I Knew the Bride (When She Used to be a Mole) and Living Next Door to Alan, he says anything can and will happen in his shows.
“My Philosophy on life I picked it up when I was about 14 or 15 from my uncle who had come back from the war and one of his favourite expressions was DILLIGAF.
“It wasn't until I was 14 that I understood what that meant and I just applied it to my life. I want to do what I want to do without pressuring other people into doing the same thing or pressuring other people into the same shit (sic) they don't want to do.
“I'm having fun doing it and it seems half the world is enjoying what I do as well.”

With a friend in Billy Connolly, the pair describe political correctness and the language of cowards.
“People who are too scared to say what they really see or really think so they have to soften it up. In Australia we are known for our sense of humour which is taking the piss out of each other.
“What happened to that or what are they trying to do to that because it hasn't gone away.”
