Kevin Bloody Wilson

THURSDAY 19 MARCH 2026, 7PM

Kevin Bloody Wilson is one of Australia's most iconic and unapologetic entertainers-a musical outlaw whose songs are as raw as they are hilarious, and whose career has spanned over four decades without ever backing down, toning it down, or selling out.

With multiple platinum albums to his name, Kev's unique brand of politically incorrect comedy and storytelling has earned him not just a cult following, but a legendary status around the globe.

Despite having no formal education beyond the school of hard knocks, Kevin is a master lyricist and a prolific songwriter for other artists, proving that talent, not titles, makes a real artist.

He's performed over 120 shows a year for more than 40 years, packing out theatres from Kalgoorlie to Kansas.

His lyrics might be too spicy for radio, but that's never stopped fans from singing them word-for-word at sold-out gigs. Kev's songs are proudly unfiltered, often outrageous, and always bloody hilarious-exactly the way his fans love them.

From his humble beginnings with a tape recorder in the front bar of a WA pub, to becoming a global comedy institution, Kevin Bloody Wilson remains a one-man phenomenon, a national treasure, and proof that you don't need permission to make people laugh-you just need a guitar, and a DILLIGAF attitude.

Kev is not just a comedy institution, he’s a way of life.
