Worth the wait for a catch-up

The overdue catch up the time away in preparation for this tour serves kevin brilliantly, his finest stand-up for a long time maybe his strongest to date and one of the best most polished stand-up routines I have seen in awhile. Kevin effortlessly lead you from one story to another as if unplanned and surely this is the Mark of the great comics who almost appear to just be having a conversation with you. Shades of his fellow countrymen and all-time greatest Billy Connolly within this performance. The tying in of childhood stories that bring you back in time and linking them to today's world. With so many Netflix specials made too early and totally underwhelming here is a man producing his special at a time and a place Cork Ireland they work brilliantly.

A Challenge

Kevin Bridges is undoubtedly a talented comedian, but his latest comedy special left me torn between laughter and frustration. Entering the world of Bridges' humor is like navigating a thick Scottish fog - you can catch glimpses of brilliance, but it's often obscured by the density of his accent.

Bridges' comedic timing and wit are unmistakable, and his material covers a wide range of topics with sharp observational humor. From everyday absurdities to personal anecdotes, he weaves a tapestry of laughs that could easily leave the audience in stitches. However, for those unfamiliar with the nuances of the Scottish accent, myself included, deciphering his rapid-fire delivery can feel like trying to crack a particularly perplexing code.

While Bridges' accent adds authenticity and charm to his performance, it also serves as a barrier for some audience members, myself included, who may find themselves straining to catch every punchline. Despite my best efforts to tune my ears to his cadence, there were moments where I found myself laughing along with the crowd, not entirely sure what I was laughing at.

That being said, Bridges' humor transcends linguistic barriers, and there were plenty of moments where his physicality and facial expressions conveyed more than words ever could. His charisma shines through, drawing the audience into his world and making them feel like they're sharing inside jokes with an old friend.

In conclusion, Kevin Bridges' comedy special is a mixed bag for those not attuned to the Scottish brogue. While his humor is undeniably sharp and entertaining, the thickness of his accent may pose a significant challenge for some viewers. However, for those willing to lean into the linguistic adventure, the rewards are plentiful, with plenty of laughs to be had amidst the linguistic labyrinth.

Big Kev has done it again

I was really happy to see this appear on my feed and clicked straight away. Well overdue in my opinion! 10/10 to big Kev for making my week. His latest stand-up is an absolute breath of fresh air and it's a joy to see him back after ages. In today's climate, and cancel culture where discussions seem to tiptoe around sensitive issues, Kev-I-N fearlessly wades in, offering a hilarious take. He dives into touchy subjects, life as an upper middle class man, becoming a dad and more. I've always been a big fan of stand up comedy and the escape it offers from day to day life, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to have been too much on offer lately. We need more comedians unafraid to push boundaries on stage, if you can't laugh at everything including yourself then what is the point? Here's to hoping for more specials from him in the next few years, his unfiltered humour is exactly what we need!
