I've met Kevin a few times (he used to live quite close to where I lived and worked) He's a lovely guy. Actually, he is really humble. He hasn't forgotten where he came from. The best Glaswegian comedian since the great Mr. Billy Connelly.
@@ScratchyBawsso what.. It's a different kettle of fish having a laugh with your pals from work to being up on a stage infront of people and delivering the joke well without choking.
As an American I would apologize to Kevin. If they have trouble with his thick accent, I could understand that, but if you buy tickets to see a foreign comedian, use that new fangled invention called the internet to do a bit of research. smh (To be honest, I always thought a toastie was what we called a Pop Tart, a toaster pastry with fruit flavor inside, but his description makes me think more of what we call grilled cheese.)
Not a fan of Billy takes too long to get from A - B Plus with all that money he looks like a homeless guy .... Kevin's brilliant tho... I don't care what you think That's my opinion....
@@IRISHSALTMINER61 I don’t think it is subjective. The who part refers to the second subject. If I said “Usain Bolt chases Jonny Vegas who is twice as fast as him” I’d imagine you would question it
Dutchy here, i love the effort in learning dutch But the reason european countries get you better than the americans is bc we get RP english in school here, and learn slang from the telly. Bin& Toasty are words we get in year 4 of elementry (age 10)
Kevin is so funny, I love to watch him and listen to his accent. These two together are a hoot. Great to hear them talking about the usamerican's who indeed are culturally limited. "That's when a gig becomes a workshop" :-)
He's such a class act, and the thing with people who speak English as a second language understanding him better seems true to me aswel. I'm Belgian/Italian and I can understand him perfectly haha, it feels like the references and culture are similar to life here aswel!
im latino and I understood almost 50 per cent of what Kevin said... im so proud of myself!! considering Meryl Streep said Scottish accent was the hardest to emulate so yeah!!!!
@@jackfinan4873 lost the plot cause fans were heckling him for autographs during the hydro show I was there as well (hoose rice) absolute belter, it was in the news about a year and a half ago at the time of the live shows
Yes, and he probably did it in a much more healthy way. He probably changed his lifestyle vs. just trying to lose the actual weight. It's a much better plan long term.
I am Norwegian. It is completely inconceivable to me that Americans do not understand Kevin. He speaks English! Have watched several talk shows where Americans do not understand English dialects. But they hardly know any language in general.
He was basically explaining how American football works. Alan couldn't believe that grown men would play such a soft version of Rugby. Kevin made a joke of the fact that a gay man finds the US version of "contact" sport too gay to be considered a contact sport. It was very funny stuff.
I'm not a Native English speaker and could understand him perfectly. I don't think your problem is so much his accent, but the cultural references and some of the British English words. Europeans get the references and know British English, and that is where North Americans struggle. I know what a toasty and a bin are, as much as I also know that the American equivalents for those are panini and trash can; but I've come to understand that a lot of Americans don't know many British English words and are also unaware of the references in British humour. Add to that a rough Scottish accent and you're done.
I have lived in North Amercia since 2008 and disciverd Kevin via RU-vid reccomendatuons. So, cheets, RU-vid! He is indeed a very bright star that will only get brighter. His humour seems effortless (even though I'm sure there is indeed a lot of effrot , planning and preparation involved in his shows) and, is of course, very, very funny indeed!
I think (but might well be wrong) that a toastie is known as a "grilled cheese sandwich" or simply "grilled cheese" in the US. Not sure what they'd call one with any other fillings! And I don't think they have toastie machines either - at least not like our triangular-sandwich-half ones...
Ooh will have to try that one. Personally I like cheese with ham, bacon or tuna and a generous dousing of Lea & Perrins' Worcestershire sauce. Oh God I'm practically dribbling at the thought. 💦
If theres a reason i understand scottish pretty well its because of kevin and limmy lol, I feel like if you go to one of his gigs and you dont understand him it's kind of on you
You know we glasgwiegans really don't understand why Americans have such difficulty. We can speak to Europeans, Arabs,Africans and Asians without any communication barrier, but Americans are completely lost. It's bizarre. Taking this into consideration, shouldnt we be asking ' are Americans actually speaking English?'
@@tweetiepie551 I'm Asian and I'm having a hard time understanding him. I've met Irish and Scottish who themselves admitted that they have to develop "international English" so that other would understand what they are talking about.
@@tweetiepie551 I agree with this... The yanks seem to have more of a problem understanding Brits than anyone else!! I'm born and bred in London but my Dad was born and raised in Clarkston so I spent every summer holiday as a kid in Glasgow!!.. The upside to that is I have absolutely no problem understanding Glaswegians, no matter how pissed they are either!! 😂😂
how does carr get away with the gig that he is a comedian ?..............just because women like gays, doesn't make them funny...............and carr ain't, to be honest chubby brown is funnier and that is just ridiculous
