Musical artist
Kevin Bloody Wilson (born Dennis Bryant; 13 February ) is an Australian musical comedian who performs comical songs with his heavy Australian English accent and often including sexual themes.
He has won one ARIA Music Award.
Early career
Bryant was born in Bathurst, although he identifies with Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, where he was an electrician in the gold mines.
In the s, Bryant fronted his own band called 'Bryan Dennis and the Country Club'.[1] He also used the name 'Bryan Dennis' when he hosted a country music show on radio 6KG in Kalgoorlie from to , before he was thrown off air for playing the parody song, "I'm Heaving on a Jet Plane".
He moved to Perth and began playing bawdy songs as a hobby, singing at pubs and Australian rules football clubs. He had adopted the name Kevin Bloody Wilson by , when he put together a cassette of his songs called Your Average Australian Yobbo,[2] which he sold at gigs and by mail order. He managed to sell 22, copies of the cassette before it was eventually transferred to LP, where it went on to sell many thousands more.
He is one of Perth's most famous comedians.[3][4] His humour is regarded by media commentators as politically incorrect.[5][6][7] As one of Australia's most successful comedians, he continues to tour and performs an average of concerts worldwide each year.
Wilson is married and his wife Betty comes on tour with him.[8] She sells merchandise at shows and has appeared on guest vocals in a few of his songs, including "Dick'taphone".
Wilson appeared on the popular television show Enough Rope with Andrew Denton in October , which resulted in the show's highest ratings of the year.[citation needed] On the show, he told of how he met his wife Betty, who was originally from Kalgoorlie, but lived in Perth at the time they met.
She had returned to the town to visit friends and her brother who still lived there and they met when she attended one of his shows. Betty, who was in the studio audience, told Denton that Wilson was a romantic who regularly bought her flowers.
"The Genie in the Bottle", a country song which Wilson co-wrote with Adam Harvey, spent more than six weeks on the Australian Country Singles chart[citation needed] as well as reaching the number one video spot on the Country Music Television Channel in [citation needed]
