It irritates me how he speaks on stage. He. says. one. word. at. a. time! ... and ... his home town is not Glasgow - it's Clydebank - so he's a Bankie rather than a Glaswegian! How's that for petty? 😀
I'm Australian and my neighbours in the 1980's were Scottish migrants from the 1960's. Their daughters were born here and had Aussie accents, their parents were understandable. The visit from the 80yo Grandmother from the Highlands is memorable, I was introduced to a Lady that I could not understand a single syllable, let alone word. I nodded and said ",yes" three times, it seemed to be the correct response! I asked my friend later why her Grandmother spoke a foreign language only to be told it was in fact English. Absolutely no way I could have ever gotten a word though. I was being respectful at the times.

There is a - true - story of an RAF pilot whose plane was badly damaged during the battle of britain, forcing him to crash land on a golf course after cutting through some power lines or telephone lines (i forget which). One of the members of the club recalled in a memoir that the pilot was a highly excited Pole who somehow had learned a lot of english swear words, which he used a lot while being helped out of his damaged spitfire. But the pilot was in fact a scottish pilot who was remembered by his squadron colleagues as ‘a very quiet chap’.
Fair play Kevin u made a living by being like every Glaswegian I have ever met respect never forget the bowl you where baked in
I’m Scottish and live in Australia and it’s so true. Constantly repeating myself or spelling words out and I’m nowhere near as “broad” as Kevin.
Born and bred in Lanark, Scotland. I've needed translation in London, Canada, Arkansas, Spain, Australia, Turkey and Egypt. The translator was my wife, born and bred in Inverness who also translates for me while talking to her mum from Cambridge.
I'm an Aussie with a Scottish mum. No problem understanding her (of course), but when she gets on the phone to speak to her sister back home in Scotland and reverts back to the dialect, I have absolutely zero idea of what the hell she is saying!
😂😂😂 Like the Scottish Illuminati
Kevin is simply the best. He is a realist in a hilarious way.
Brilliant 😝🍺
That's why we die so young in Scotland...frustration. (And lack of hydration). LOL!
Absolutely fantastic, Kevin 🤣👍🤣
I loved it where at 3:45, he paused briefly, while deciding how strong a swear word he could get away with :D

I have a friend from East Kilbride with a strong Scottish accent and because I've spent a lot of time with him I know what he's saying. At one point he was speaking to some folk from Motherwell which is about 10 miles away from East Kilbride and I had to explain to them what he had just said!

Also it’s because he is using a diluted version of the Glaswegian accent/dialect. I understood every word but in a bar in Glasgow you will fare no better than in China.
It just goes to show that he can speak English but I'm grateful for "Subtitles" I get to understand what the fuck he's on about ...
Glasgow accents never leaves though, especially under stress and around other Scots! 👍😁 Thirty years later, you're a Scot aren't you? It's "Wader" in Australia! 😊 Fun! 👏
Aye I had a very hard time getting a request for water understood in Australia, I was repeating the word over and a very drunk lad fra Derry walked past and joined in which didnae help much 🤣😂. Pure class difference in approach to "translating" us than our other less enjoyable neighbours there 💙💚

Haa haaa that is funny. As an Aussie, I admit to having difficulty understanding the broad Scotish accent but I do love it.
English is my 3rd language and I'm pretty good at understanding accents. Glaswegian or even Scouser are no biggie. Some Irish folks on the other hand? No damned clue what they're saying. Pretty cool how someone who started out so young and got so successful is still so relatable. Kevin deserves a world wide stage, he's that good as far as I'm concerned.
Kevin Bridges what a legend of comedy his impression of English n Americans are hilarious man lol the best comedian to come of Bonnie wee Scotland soooo funny 😂😂
Funny to see Danny Dier waiting to appear. As Kevin Bridges once referred to him as 'The Prick's Prick'
Mate, the Aussie was just flabbergasted you asked for water... beer is for drinking waters for swimming 🤷🏽♂️
I was in Florida and the ice cream seller said "smlmedmlrg"..I said "What?"..."smlmdmlg" ..I said "What" again..she said "wasamtr - cntuspkinglishpropr". I replied - with my head high -"Actually, I am English - I would like a small ice cream if you would be so kind " I got a small ice cream - 5 ..king scoops !
Comic genius!!! Avocado!!! Or you're getting stabbed!!!
Yeah still live in Glasgow but you wanna make those gig tickets affordable to for people that live there not the glasgow rich list.
Kevin is a top comedian, really like his material. Him taliking about translation mistakes reminds me of a clip on WILTY where due to this he accidentally purchased a horse! Check it out, it's hilarious.

Holey shit how fits his misses!?
I once had a conversation with a bloke in a pub in Glasgow near the station. I was getting a train home to NW England, which is only about 170 miles from Glasgow. We “spoke” for about 15-20 minutes and the ONLY word I understood was train, pronounced “trayen”! He’s probably telling the tale of the time he met an English idiot who could only smile/grin and say “yes” and grin like an idiot, to every question he asked about rail transport policy! 😆😆

Scottish isn't an accent it's a language
When I was a teenager doing a job in the school holidays the foreman was Scottish I couldn’t understand anything he said. Told him to speak bloody English and he spent the next five minutes chasing me to kick butt, luckily I was much younger, slimmer and far quicker back then.
I'm Australian and I have met a Scottish person I could honestly not understand a word from. Having said that I can understand this guy clearly in the video. But really, he should have just done that English accent when asking for a water, it was so clear lol

Glasgow story: my Dad was an avid salmon fisherman in Canada. He even made his own fishing flies. So. He’d heard about a Scottish salmon fishing fly, the Hiighlander. He got a bee in his bonnet for getting one of these, a large one, and mounting it on a plaque for his office at home. So. I looked for one on the high street in Glasgow. To my delight, I found an outdoors store! They sold all manner of fishing gear. I explained my story to the shopkeeper. And he had the fly in stock. But they were tiny. Two sizes. 0.5 cm. And 1.0 cm. I bought them both. The shopkeeper asked me a question about my Dad. My brain was swimming through the murk of jet lag... and his strong Glaswegian accent made me unable to understand just about everything he said. The jet lag made me into an idiot. I had trouble using crosswalks even. The struggle was beyond me. So I just stood there not answering his question. So rude, looking back. I didn’t mean to be. But I was just doing my best. Total sale was about 1.5 £. 2 days later I was in Aberdeen, they had a Highlander. About 10 cm long. But mounted on a plaque already. 45£. I bought it instantly. If I’d’ve really been on my game, I’d’ve removed these plaque. I gave him all 3 highlanders. He got his fishing flies in the end!
