Can't say I follow Danny Dyer's career or life, but the little I do know, he comes across as down to earth and probably would have been one of the first to laugh about it. One thing most working class Brits do well, self depreciating and laughing at ourselves. It's middle class uni grads that struggle with it.
the new thing for big name comedians is not to put anything out on DVD and just do live shows. What's the point of putting your material out if some cunt is going to upload it on to the internet for free.
That is diluted quite a lot the amount of Scots/Glasgow words used and the speed is slow, I live in West Midlands and know if I talk at pace I will only have to repeat slower so its natural for Scots who travel or live outside Scotland to tame their accent.
Long live the role of the comedian in life, without the ability to laugh at itself, society will never hear the truth, and Kevin Bridges is a true exponent of one of lives great gifts.
I haven't seen his material of the last half year or so but if he keeps at the stories of being a roustabout from Glasgow, it's going to wear thin quickly. Canada has (had) Russell Peters, who sold out both The Apollo and Madison Square Gardens. His schtick was being a South Asian in Canada, mocking the blend of cultures, the accent, his father trying to fit in to suburban Toronto. Over and over, every appearance. It was cringy like the generation before, when some black comedians couldn't get past telling stories to white audiences about being black. Nothing topical or relatable. Now, I don't know anybody personally who has brought up the name Russell Peters in about 5 years.
I was struggling quite a bit to understand his accent at the beginning but he still cracked me up like nobody else. Now, I think I finally got the hang of it and can appreciate him at the fullest
@@booker0110 Missus is Glaswegian, she got it for me for either an Xmas or birthday present (can’t remember at the time) and there was no shows by me at the time lol
At my former company (in the Netherlands) i had a Scottish colleague, and whenever he called in, we couldn't understand him... so we just asked him to send a mail instead. ..in around 50% we didn't understand what he was writing either.. having said that, i understood about 98% of what Kevin said here, while in his stand-ups it's about 85%.. not too bad for a non-native English speaker i think..
@@James-st9uu In Scotland the ones you don't understand speak Scots(roughly 1.5m{Mostly far far Northern} of 5million Scots) - which isn't Gaelic, isn't English, isn't anything but Scots. The rest of us speak English with an accent. I don't understand how English people can't understand the accent when you have accents like Newcastle and Liverpool down there. People in glass houses, pal.
This guy really is a very likeable comic and he's found like a new sense of confidence recently, he is going to take over the UK. Very clever guy, incredibly funny at the same time.
Glad to see this dude's back. He should be pumping his content on platforms like Netflix, haven't heard of anyone putting stuff out on DVDs in a while X'D
Yeah his funniest show is on BBC iPlayer but so many people still haven't seen it and won't bother with BBC. If it went on Netflix I think he would be a lot bigger than he is.
I'm German and for me it is indeed quite hard to understand his accent. But I get used to it and understand more and more. I'd say about 80 % by now. And I think he's brilliant. Definitely extremely likeable chap. I think I would have understood him and give him some water. :-D
I just read your entire post in a Jürgen Klopp style accent. Not sure why, but when I realised my inner monologue was giving you an accent I laughed out loud. An actual lol. Cheers.👍
In grade 8 (~14 years old) in Canada, I would translate for a new school mate from Dundee. The teacher would ask a question, Stu would put up his hand, be acknowledged, stand up like we did back then and answer the question. The teacher just froze with a blank stare, Stu remained standing and the class was dead quiet and the atmosphere awkward. I put my hand up, was acknowledged, etc. and offered "I think what Stuart means is.... ." Then I looked at Stu, he said "Aye." The teacher said "Oh, that's right," and history class resumed. I had the best shot at helping out because of growing up with a Glaswegian father and having visited my relatives in Glasgow a few times. But it barely prepared me for the Dundee accent.
Stu is lucky he got out thatsrug infested hell hole. 😂 It's now full of people that aren't white, became the most dangerous city in a Scotland (overtaking Glasgow) and has one of the shortest life expectancies
I'm an Australian - I've been to Swindon. It's famous for some big fu*king train in the middle of the city, isn't it? Nationwide Building Society HQ, conceding 100 goals in an EPL season and having the balls to make Paolo Di Canio its manager......I'm right aren't I? See, everyone has something.

All scottish people have to accommodate the rest of you when we talk. Its exhausting. It's like having to use a certain tone with a dog to get it to do what you want. Lol
It's like teaching toddlers how to pronounce the letter 'r' It's not another 'a', it's not a vowel, it's a ruddy consonant Consonant (n) : a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed (in this case by the tongue) and which can be combined with a vowel to form a syllable. 'ah' or 'eh' is not a consonant I guess it's just us Scots that know how to use our tongues properly
I think it’s exposure. The more exposure you have to an accent the easier it is to hear. That’s why Americans have so much trouble because their media is mainly American. I find most Aussies can understand most accents. Old mate who served him would probably be a rare occurrence.
@@AmberMarrrie Yeah, Hollywood and even English media rarely cover Scottish accents, there's not that many big Scottish actors in comparison to English/American.
It's kinda like were treated as a minority in some way, like, a Scottish accent in a movie is a bit of a tokenensim, unless it's Trainspotting or a film made in Scotland.
Kev's right about us Aussies not having an ear for Scots. The first time I met a school chum's Scottish father he asked me 'who do you love?' My chum had to to translate it to 'where do you live?'
That reminds me of when I bought a watch in Florida. The young girl assistant asked my name, I said ' Peter ' She said 'what? I said ' Peter ' she asked again then looked puzzled, ' can you spell that for me, I spelled it out P.E.T.E.R. Oh, ' Peeder 'she said.
I had a similar thing too, only in my case is was in my own home city in south London! I put something in the dry cleaners and the bloke behind the counter asked me my name so as to write it on the ticket, so I told him my first name and he started to write Sh. I then said no it was Sean, as in Sean Connery and spelt it out for him, which then had him read it aloud and pronounced it to rhyme with bean, as if a different spelling somehow changed my name and I had been saying it wrongly all these years.
I don't really have a problem understanding Kevin, I just have to pay close attention. I do get lost when his topics get regional or even Glasgow-centric. I think he is an incredible comedian !
The best thing about softening the accent to help folk understand it easier is that you can just as easily harden or thicken it if someones in need of being taken down a peg or two.
I have an English accent and a waitress didn't understand me when I asked for water in California. I just made it worse when I said, it's comes out the tap! Wart-er / Warrrrrter.
I was in a restaurant in California and a waitress came to the table and asked. Would you like some water? I took my time, made sure I didn’t mumble and said one word “yes”. She stormed off saying she couldn’t understand us and demanded someone else serve us. Out came the afghani manager and the conversation flowed, understood each other perfectly.
@@poised00 Ooh she was having a bad day! Maybe if we spoke with a super posh English accent (like Hugh Grant) they might get it. More regional British accents obviously don't work!
I'm Irish I spent five minutes trying to buy butter off an Asian guy in a shop in England. He even showed me water at one stage. Eventually we got it and then he said butter exactly the same way I said it. He was so used to English people asking for "bahh arr" he didn't recognise it...
Kevin Bridges is hilarious. As a Yank, I can understand 98% of what he says. Once in a while, I'll have to rewind to catch a word. I've shown my friends some of his videos, and they say, "What in the hell is he saying?" lol.

Damn, my dad died of frustration. A Glasgow Celtic fan, my dad moved the family to Edmonton Alberta in 1957. He started the Western Canada Soccer League and we had a team. I was 10, and it was awesome. We could understand my dad’s accent but not our friends. Yup. Frustration!
@@neillyduffy2018 I thought he was a retired team member. So strong were his was “recollections “! Just like the story that Donovan lived down a few streets away. My poor mother had to wash the dirty uniforms every week! ( two sets of course ). Family and friends ran the concession and took tickets at the gate. We kids ran free and never had a bad moment. My dad was badass!
Can't understand why people have a problem with his accent. He is the funniest guy I have seen for some time and after the Comedy Roadshow appearance I knew straight away he was going places. Kev I n is the man.
I'm American, but I like to think of myself as a cultured gentleman of the world. I've traveled (including Scotland), I teach international students, I read a book from time to time and try to keep up with world news. And yet I still have a hard time understanding this Glaswegian from time to time. I laugh anyway 🤣
@@D-A-K i relise i'm replying to a year old comment but as a glaswegian whos met alot if american tourists always got on great with them but loved ei ding them up a bit met a family who told me and my gf how the had been in London the previous week and couldn't belive how the brittish accent was so different from the scottish accent and i said the scottish accent (theres a few) is a brittish accent the were so confused and tired to argue the point with me that it wasn't before realising it was alot of americans automatically just think london is the brittish accent and england is the uk
The only modern comedian who makes an audience laugh out loud rather than politely titter as they adjust their knickers and text the baby sitter to sky+ David Attenborough
Danny being there haha don't get me started on Eastenders ..ffs ..i instantly turn the channel over when that starts ..to something more enjoyable like ''The mating habits of a house fly '' 🤦♂️
here's a thing...4.53 was obviously an ad break when this was aired as Kev goes from a shiny forhead to Matte..QUE THE MAKEUP ARTIST DARLING :P (lockdown, I clearly have WAY too much time on my hands!)
Here is one Australian that does not need anyone to "translate" anything Kevin or any other Scott has to say. I see it as a sign of laziness and ignorance that some people won't take the time to learn how to listen to people with strong accents... Pointed out as truth by the fact that most Americans don't understand him (or any other comedian that originates from North or west of London)
It is not really laziness and more a lack of exposure to hearing it, as well as not being able to make sense of any colloquialisms too. Although in some cases it is probably also arrogance where the listener feels that the Scottish person should the one to accommodate them and change things. Although if a Glaswegian were to say for example that someone was talking mince and then you asked a non-Glaswegian to interpret that, if they have never heard that expression before they would likely say that they do understand what it means. Yet ask them to repeat it back, and they probably will be able to word for word but might assume that they have wrongly done so because to them anyway, it does not seem to make sense. The Glaswegian would be talking er mince, if you like.

The best thing about softening the accent to help folk understand it easier is that you can just as easily harden or thicken it if someones in need of being taken down a peg or two.
I have an English accent and a waitress didn't understand me when I asked for water in California. I just made it worse when I said, it's comes out the tap! Wart-er / Warrrrrter.
Hahaha yup they never understand you saying water you have to like say waahh ter
I was in a restaurant in California and a waitress came to the table and asked. Would you like some water? I took my time, made sure I didn’t mumble and said one word “yes”. She stormed off saying she couldn’t understand us and demanded someone else serve us. Out came the afghani manager and the conversation flowed, understood each other perfectly.
@@poised00 Ooh she was having a bad day! Maybe if we spoke with a super posh English accent (like Hugh Grant) they might get it. More regional British accents obviously don't work!
didnt America invent the English language?.. 😆
I'm Irish I spent five minutes trying to buy butter off an Asian guy in a shop in England. He even showed me water at one stage. Eventually we got it and then he said butter exactly the same way I said it. He was so used to English people asking for "bahh arr" he didn't recognise it...
Kevin Bridges is hilarious. As a Yank, I can understand 98% of what he says. Once in a while, I'll have to rewind to catch a word. I've shown my friends some of his videos, and they say, "What in the hell is he saying?" lol.
"I think when you do a big massive tour it's important to disconnect and just go somewhere where nobody knows you, or whatever. So I went to Madrid and did a course in Spanish."
"Did ye? Aye."
I'm from Birmingham, went to London. Tried to order pint of cider.. They kept thinking I was saying soda... In the end I was like gimme a fucking strongbow
Like we're bilingual 🤣🤣
Such a likeable guy

I take it you’re English 😂 because the translation would actually be, “Aye ya wee bastart geez a can then am aff hame tae the wains”😂😂
I'm Scottish and I'm having trouble trying to decipher what you just said never mind an American trying to do it 😂
James must be from Edinburgh then
James You’re not a real Scot then, are ye! If you can’t read that...there’s something very wrong.😂It reads as it sounds. Try it!🤔
Louise Barrowman ur deffo no fae Glasgow anyway 😂
I've never eaten an avocado. Guess I'll just need to wait until my DVD is released.
Honger kong 😂😂😂
Danny Dyer “the pricks prick” sitting there hahahahahaha
I always thought of Kevin as a Hard Man, like Danny wants to be.......
HARD ?? you once went to a surrey council estate and got scared?
"Danny Dyer now he's the Pricks' Prick isn't he"
I love me some Kevin Bridges and I even love Danny Dyer😍😍😍
Damn, my dad died of frustration.
A Glasgow Celtic fan,
my dad moved the family to Edmonton Alberta in 1957.
He started the Western Canada Soccer League and we had a team.
I was 10, and it was awesome.
We could understand my dad’s accent but not our friends.
Yup. Frustration!
Your dad has good taste when it comes to football teams.
I'm a Glasgow lad and love Celtic
@@neillyduffy2018
I thought he was a retired team member. So strong were his was
“recollections “!
Just like the story that Donovan lived down a few streets away.
My poor mother had to wash the dirty uniforms every week!
( two sets of course ).
Family and friends ran the concession and took tickets at the gate.
We kids ran free and never had a bad moment.
My dad was badass!
I love your dad for celtic he is part of our celtic family
Can't understand why people have a problem with his accent. He is the funniest guy I have seen for some time and after the Comedy Roadshow appearance I knew straight away he was going places. Kev I n is the man.
He's such a talented comedian, his story telling and the way he builds the joke is second to none in my opinion.
His wife is truly stunning.. yeah married in 2019
Kevin Bridges is always awesome!
Danny Dyer, Kevin Bridges and Ross: the three most challenging people for an American to comprehend.
I'm American, but I like to think of myself as a cultured gentleman of the world. I've traveled (including Scotland), I teach international students, I read a book from time to time and try to keep up with world news. And yet I still have a hard time understanding this Glaswegian from time to time. I laugh anyway 🤣
@@D-A-K i relise i'm replying to a year old comment but as a glaswegian whos met alot if american tourists always got on great with them but loved ei ding them up a bit met a family who told me and my gf how the had been in London the previous week and couldn't belive how the brittish accent was so different from the scottish accent and i said the scottish accent (theres a few) is a brittish accent the were so confused and tired to argue the point with me that it wasn't before realising it was alot of americans automatically just think london is the brittish accent and england is the uk
kevin bridges LEGEND
needs to do more shows would love to see him live
Johnathan Ross by far the best chat show host britain has to offer
That’s such a sad inditement of British culture, wheely wubbish!
bloody sad
i had to translate my ozzy mate, so that scots could understand him, and im a kiwi :D
Bilingual too I see.
Can’t beat a bit of toast 🤣
Kevin. You are a treasure. A credit to Scotland. Well done never forget your origines. Felicitations.
2:45 he missed the chance there to go “only English” 🤣
Awkward with Danny Dyer after his routine about Danny Dyer at the Glasgow derby!
awkward for who
Danny dyer the pricks prick
"Glasgow Derby" 😂 what a virgin
Oh fuck aye, was hoping he was gonna do his Danny Dyer impression at the end there!
You mean the old firm derby
The only modern comedian who makes an audience laugh out loud rather than politely titter as they adjust their knickers and text the baby sitter to sky+ David Attenborough
Billy Connolly's legendary 1985 audience was shown again this week. Kevin is now the torch bearer for this kind of humour.
Cannae whack it.
I have the luck to see Mr Bridges *cough* Wee Kev...at the De Montfort in Leicester......BEST Comedy I've seen since the Big Yin :D
Danny being there haha don't get me started on Eastenders ..ffs ..i instantly turn the channel over when that starts ..to something more enjoyable like ''The mating habits of a house fly '' 🤦♂️
“Scousers on the run” haha
After Billy Connolly he is one of the funniest comedian's to come out of the brittish Isles
i hope this was an attempt at a joke...
@FOMO FUD it wasn't a joke....billy connolly isn't funny...not even slightly
@@nickbrumwell5678 Billy Connelly is the father of stand up comedy
:-Robin Williams.
Come on everybody knows it’s Celtic
@@lukaclutchdoncic8243 OH YEA 👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I really laughed with him,,, great comedian
He’s brilliant, all the best comedians are Scots.
Yes they are,and Scotland is the best country in the wurrold till you visit somewhere else.
Us Scot’s are naturally funny!
here's a thing...4.53 was obviously an ad break when this was aired as Kev goes from a shiny forhead to Matte..QUE THE MAKEUP ARTIST DARLING :P
(lockdown, I clearly have WAY too much time on my hands!)
I've had to have a German guy translate what I'm saying in English, into English so that Spanish people could understand what i'm saying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had a similar experience in Europe and asked for a glass of water but I dropped the "t" when asking. It took a while and then I realised my mistake.
Danny dyer and kev in the same greenroom after that joke😂😂😂😂awkward
1:53 honga Kong 😂😂
Hong a-Kong
I love this man.
Here is one Australian that does not need anyone to "translate" anything Kevin or any other Scott has to say. I see it as a sign of laziness and ignorance that some people won't take the time to learn how to listen to people with strong accents... Pointed out as truth by the fact that most Americans don't understand him (or any other comedian that originates from North or west of London)
Calm down calm down
It is not really laziness and more a lack of exposure to hearing it, as well as not being able to make sense of any colloquialisms too. Although in some cases it is probably also arrogance where the listener feels that the Scottish person should the one to accommodate them and change things.
Although if a Glaswegian were to say for example that someone was talking mince and then you asked a non-Glaswegian to interpret that, if they have never heard that expression before they would likely say that they do understand what it means. Yet ask them to repeat it back, and they probably will be able to word for word but might assume that they have wrongly done so because to them anyway, it does not seem to make sense.
The Glaswegian would be talking er mince, if you like.
Kevin...such a good man!
I'll say it then.. he's punching
Hes also minted
They definitely got Danny dyer on at the same time on purpose lol “the pricks prick”
