KEVIN BLOODY WILSON: International DILLIGAF Day

November 5

There are few international comedians today who shoot down political correctness with such comedic pin point accuracy as the Australian.

While today’s Age Of Outrage has his contemporaries ducking for cover for fear of being cancelled, Kev crushes PC eggshells with the grace and diplomacy of a wounded buffalo.

Kev’s famous DILLIGAF approach to PC is a breath of fresh air, direct, clever and outrageously funny. While his songs and concert performances continue to rattle the cages of the PC Brigade, Kevin Bloody Wilson has earned his place in the entertainment industry with almost zero mainstream media support.

Social Justice Warriors, Snowflakes and PC Advocates are invited to stay home...The rest are gonna have a ball!
