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.

If we were asked to nominate one individual to best define Australian humour, for most of us, the name Kevin Bloody Wilson immediately springs to mind. 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.

Kevin Bloody 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 DILLIGAF attitude is a quality to be envied.

He’s been listed in Who’s Who, 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 Kevin Bloody Wilson. His peers agree;

“The world’s funniest Australian” Billy Connolly

“I love Kev.  My favourite is Livin’ Next Door To Alan.” Paul Hogan

“Hello John, is the funniest song I’ve ever heard in my entire

radio career.” John Laws

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.  Hot on the heels of sellout South African tour, where his average audience exceeded 2000, Kev is now heading back to Australia to recharge his batteries.

His record sales are now nudging the four million mark. Without traditional media support, all of Kevin Bloody 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. Kev’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 twenty-five years ago, Kevin Bloody Wilson was being 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 exactly the same thing.

Well done Kev, you’ve done us proud.

Don’t miss the legend in a club near you – Kev’s ‘Goin Bush’, and you are the winner !

Prepare to be violently impressed when master musician Gene Peterson, goes head to head with multi instrumentalist Adam Page, in this phenomenal musical showdown. In this 100 minute jam-packed performance, the audience will be treated to a plethora of amazing skills, from simultaneously playing keyboards and drums, to Tibetan throat singing, to using a variety of vegetables as musical instruments!!

Set in a boxing ring, complete with blue & red corners, ‘Loop the Loop’ showcases a musical battle like no other.  As each artist attempts to out-play the other with their multitude of musical abilities, they continually record their music into a loop pedal, creating the aural illusion of an entire band playing live! Both performers from 'Loop the Loop' are virtuoso musicians in their own right, and have each toured nationally and internationally, performed at festivals worldwide and have accumulated countless awards and accolades along the way. As the competition is fierce, the musicians are forced to pull their best tricks out of their arsenal! ‘Loop the Loop’ also features a high level of comedy, and audiences can look forward to marvelling at the outrageous skills displayed, whilst being tickled by the humour.

Sometimes quirky, often hilarious, at times unbelievable, but always impressive, 'Loop the Loop' offers the ultimate performance package.
