When I went to University in England as a Frenchman, I struggled the first few weeks to understand one of our Scottish professors, but it's been a good training. Now I can watch Kevin Bridges and understand everything ! And the man is simply brilliant !
As an American, I started with listening to various versions of English accents in tv shows, then a bit of Wales with Gavin and Stacey, lots of AU, then NZ accents. Honestly don't have much to listen to for Irish accents except Colin Farrell and the handful that end up on UK Love Island, but for me it's somewhat similar to the melodic accent of the Kiwis, just in a different way. Kiwis actually speak a lot like a region of California I grew up near, that so-called Valley Girl intonation where every sentence sounds like a question. Honestly surprised I can understand this man who's well Scottish, but it appears I can. Perhaps it has to do with having lived all over the US and being able to adjust my accent a bit to mirror the person with whom I'm communicating at the time. I've not travelled abroad, but I'm told I pick up slang easily so I suspect that helps.
He is by far the funniest comedian I've ever watched he is hilarious I don't laugh at any other like I do when I watch him I'm 34 so at his age an he relates to everything I've witnessed can't wait to see you this year kev
I love the rule of Lucozade (Scottish energy drink) and a Fiver at a new hobby It’s to show you’re not committing to anything nor are you bringing more money to potentially get tricked into impulse buying things
Live 100 yards from Kevin’s parents and one day years ago I was out looking for my my cat and seen this guy out with a dog so being an animal lover I went over and was on my knees clapping him asking his name and what age etc went back to my flat and my neighbour was at her window and told me that he was Kevin bridges and I intelligent as I am said who so I went in and watched him and felt so stupid that I ve never seen him so I would just like to apologise to him also he autographed his book for me to give to an 89 year old fan of his and it made his day so thank you Kevin your a star
Dear Kevin Bridges. Even if all the humour you have shared...shared....is it. It is more than enough. If you can keep finding or making content, that'd be great.
Heyyy, um. Can i ask where you are from? I am just wondering cause where i am from to make a bomb or to bomb is to not do well but your joke makes it seem like it is to do well. Not trying to start anything except an acceleration of my understanding of local dialects
@@nickolaslaplant6747 in the UK usually if something "bombs" then that's bad, but if someone "makes a bomb" it means they make loads of money - the same as "makes a killing" :-)
@@agostinolissu4485 well this video's got 137k views. Also its probably not the first of his you watched in a row so its very possible that at least 3-5 blokes would be watching after midnight or when having trouble sleeping
What's the issue? I am 100% English beef, born and bred (won't mention half Welsh blood) 🤣 I can understand the deepest Scottish accent, no worries, he's hilarious 🤣🤣
I can understand only about 10 percent of what he's saying. I tried turning on CC but that didn't help much because (apparently) the CC system can't understand him either! 😅🤣😂
Yes, the CC is bad. No, I did not understand him at the beginning, maybe 10-20 % of it (Im a Hungarian, learned English from books and songs) but just that max 20 % was some such hilarious stuff I started working on understanding him. YT, DVDs, whatever has been available from him Im on it. That how he's become my absolute favourite comedian. He's BRILLIANT!
It always depends where he's p[laying - his stuff recorded in Glasgow he goes full Glasgow and is nearly incomprehensible, he pulls it back when he performs elsewhere, and when he performs outside UK he's even easier to understand. One of my favorite lines from him was from the show "Would I Lie To You", in which he describes a language issue allegedly resulting in him accidentally buying a horse as "A Bulgarian guy trying to speak English, and two Scottish guys... trying to speak English."
Kevin Bridges' Secret Hobbies | A Whole Different Story | Universal Comedy 1824pm 27.4.22 well he's british if he wins and, of course, scottish when he loses or has a break down...
It's not an English accent... UK, Britain, are made up of countries...not one! Kevin is Scottish not English. Therefore he speaks the language of English perfectly normally, for someone from Scotland.
@@tamielizabethallaway2413 but it is english? im aware the uk is made of several countries. when i said english i meant the language he was speaking not his nationality. edit: also in case it wasn’t clear i meant no disrespect to scottish people, it was simply a joke about how different accents and dialects of english can be hard to understand from the perspective of other dialects or accents.
Why are half the comments about understanding him? I wouldn't watch a chinese or dutch comedian for example because I wouldn't understand them. Why watch this if you don't understand it
Because he's speaking English so people who understand English expect to understand him but can't. My parents were together 53 years and my dad (American) could never understand the Geordie accent (my mum's family is from the north) though we went north yearly. We always had to translate. There's a huge array of different local dialects all across the British isles which is pretty confusing to most non Brits.
Cuz, in my case - I got about 20% of what he said- I thought it maybe worth it... That was about 6 month ago. By now, I got so tuned in I have no problem. And yessss! It is worth it. He's simply the best.
I wish I could understand anything past his accent. Time to watch this 100 times until I'm able to. 😂 The jokes that I can make out are killers though.
Kev Anglicizes his accent for English audiences but this show was in his home town (big city) of Glasgow so his accent was just his natural voice, except when he was specifically doing another accent like the Northern Ireland bit.
I can play his videos in front of my kids (12 and 10) who are American and they can't understand a word. That's a win win; he's not appropriate for them at all and I'm crying laughing at his jokes 😂

Have a look at Kevin Bridges, I've got mates like Greece. It's genius.
I am English and I can understand him with no problem at all, I didn't even realise it was an issue to some people until reading the comments.
I’m American and I have no trouble understanding him
My phone dont go loud enough, that's my problem to hearin him well enough
Anyone who's first language is English should be able to understand this easily, unless they're a moron.
No one struggles to understand him they just pretend to out of old fashioned english snobbery
I'm frm the black country I understand him hes too funny though.
There are comedians but Kevin is in the top League ! KinBrilliant !
Can understand every single word, the best comic on the circuit period
Full stop.
He is by far the funniest comedian I've ever watched he is hilarious I don't laugh at any other like I do when I watch him I'm 34 so at his age an he relates to everything I've witnessed can't wait to see you this year kev
The whole Northern Ireland section was amazing haha

Sell it in Australia too
The Scottish version was Ferguzade. I remember it in the 60's along with Man from U.N.C.L.E bubble gum. ;-)
