Kevin returns to tell his hilarious stories

-

KEVIN Bloody Wilson is coming back to Toowoomba due to popular demand and is bringing The Almost Awesome Tour with special guest Jenny Talia.

The Kevin Bloody Wilson Show is not just a concert performanc­e – for most it’s a full-on event and an opportunit­y to tick from your bucket list a chance to see Australia’s most unique Internatio­nal comedy legend.

Wilson has become a national institutio­n – a must-see for any person wanting to experience live absolute original Australian comedy.

His recently released biography – DILLIGAF, The Life

and Rhymes of Kevin Bloody Wilson – is a raucous, earthy, in-depth look at perhaps one of the only Australian comedians who has not bowed to the pressures of political correctnes­s.

Wilson’s story is remarkable.

He has become a part of Australian culture, a part of who we are and how we define ourselves.

His “Do I Look Like I Give A F---” attitude is a quality to be envied.

His entire body of work has been preserved for future generation­s with the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra and his fan base stretches from Broken Hill to Buckingham Palace.

It’s also a known fact that nobody tells Australian stories better than Wilson.

Kevin Bloody Wilson is also the only internatio­nal artist who can shift seamlessly between an outback pub to the hallowed halls of the London Palladium.

His record sales are nudging the four million mark. Without traditiona­l media support, all of Wilson’s albums and DVDs have achieved gold sales status globally, with many reaching platinum, and one, Kev’s

Back, awarded an amazing quadruple platinum. Wilson’s recordings can be found in such diverse locations as Outback Australia to Antarctica, from big rig road trains to the console of Prince Charles’ Aston Martin.

It seems ironic that 25 years ago Wilson was arrested for performing his songs in public, yet on Australia Day in January 2010 he was officially nominated for Australian of the Year for doing just that.

Don’t miss the legend that is Kevin Bloody Wilson at Rumours Internatio­nal – Toowoomba on Tuesday, December 5.

Doors open at 7pm, with the show from 8pm. Tickets are $55 and are available by phoning

4632 3900.
