Kevin Bridges Navy Seals Joke Went Straight Over Obama's Head | The Jonathan Ross Show

you know I've interviewed you a few times over the years and I've always been you know amazed at your success not not in a bad way but I mean like impressed by it but you've really changed the writing because you used to be I mean you've lost quite a lot of weight you seem to have got yourself fit since then what have you been up to I'm still getting used up doing I've ever quite resigned myself to being slung I'm still fat all got five days outlook and I'll be back I'll pick one to this yeah Charlotte you show up if you still got my ac/dc tea shop once but I've lost a bit of weight I just reversed the damage yeah I've done it myself growing up late at school I used to go to a chap van and in an ice-cream van like two of my free meals are there what from a van that's gonna make you quit your bed yeah so this was a conscious thing though was it and it is it because you've got more money now because you're more successful I thought maybe I don't know wait are you can afford sort of he'll feel fit yeah well avocados and stuff for that number I had never tasted an avocado until I had a DVD released maybe the salmon and that way you cut down on drinking as well um yeah for a year but I made a strong comeback yeah was that just like I want to have a clean yeah I want to kind of refresh myself or was it was a reason and I thought why it's just when you have a certain edge hang ovals stop till they become horrific yeah yeah you know that oh yeah you 32 now 32 and now you're thinking now it's time to settle down I think you have a partner I believe yes no does she work in them the time of business or does she have what we would consider a real job she has uh I said volumes she's over you see you say she manages a restaurant Wow one glance cool and so what does she make of what you do because it must seem in some ways less arduous than actually going every day at the same place and doing a proper job I know she's come on the road a few times she came a day a to Australia and New Zealand and amadon Hong Kong and Singapore and she came here there once but it's gonna have to get economy swen done on a Tuesday night above a bit she's now she's good when she's supportive and she's funny yourself so she's a good person she gets stand-up you know I mean yeah if you've got an idea for a joke I can bounce it off yeah Carrie and she's good for feedback and honest as well you mentioned performing Hong Kong well so you do you travel outside of the UK you your material travels well outside of you have you done Europe I have done Europe but we're gonna steal a New Zealand just before that's your cue to start eating here it sounds a lot medical ominous than it actually is because you're just performing in expats yeah I think filled mataji's and scowls on the run BBQ on Christmas lads on Instagram but they make good audiences Kostabi Muhsin yeah and back home but you don't perform in other languages you don't do that ideas of thing where no okay but you you speak Spanish you learnt Spanish for you didn't you we hashed amiable on is better yeah others can off did they are course in Spain just after my gosh tonight I mean you've been you do big massive to it it's important they sorted s connect and just go somewhere well nobody knows you or whatever so I went in Madrid and on a course in Spanish for six weeks and they didn't know that you were comedian they didn't know it I felt was I had been placed under the witness protection because the class was just like Americans yeah Coppola Chinese Japanese Moroccan so you needn't reduce yourself every Monday morning for the new people in the class so I thought I'd like to say my name is Kevin and I'm a comedian yeah cuz then so but yeah opener so what did you say what was this deep cover version of yourself I see that was an electrician there was a van parked it's like the college in the moment they said Electress Easter's so I presume that was our electricians yeah so every Monday morning I was my name is Kevin and I'm an electrician but then a lot of British people what I'm the and stuff he'd seen me lunch break so they were waiting outside my classroom for a selfie so then the rest of my class are gone why the [ __ ] did I want a selfie bit gave the electrician Sobers and I sorta webalizer or I'm a celebrity electrician building new chefs I was on the great british rewire and whatever became hard to complete with the class and then they stopped google onion in it yeah can I wash this okay now here's the exciting thing kevin has a dvd-r called the brand new toy and this tour of yours wow what a success I mean you did 19 nights I believe yeah at the high drawing let's go yeah that's a 12,000 seater yeah so that's close to a quarter of a million people now how many people are there in Glasgow 600,000 okay so nearly half of the people in Glasgow went to see you yep so the majority of Glasgow did not go and see me do anything that's a negative but it must be amazing it must feel that was impressive we're still living Glasgow yep and what absolutely you live in a bigger house and when you started but you decided you didn't want to move elsewhere yeah well um I mean it still wasn't glass going in what I could my host in Glasgow would get me a bed set in London yeah yeah so it was also that sorta and and how kind of social mobility is surely is that weird feeling we've already discovered that you've embarked on a romance with avocados but when you move up you know did you find that weird I I was invited to the residents a annual garden party well right and I'd never left an area for the residents would so there's one more than I left my host I was walking the dog and I seen that gazebo and my initial thought was something's happened here you thought it was the police then you remember you've moved on in life it was the residents galvan parties and would you will you host the garden party when you know I never even went about having a vegan barbecue which made me laugh but then yeah unable say that was delicious Calvin the vegan I was surprised as well can it be about a toast yeah now you met this is exciting news you met President Obama or s president about unemployed now how did that how did that come about that's my get all fit me put Obama and the middle of that photograph so if we ever split up we can crop the picture both get I can I can profile picture on fungal yeah well that was good that there's an event a was a charity event Obama Brazil JK rowling Annie Lennox necklace table Janet was that the Scottish Illuminati yeah everybody's and the audience for all these Sunday Times Rich crush fork and was he in the audience as well was he enjoying the show I don't know if he enjoyed the show that might be pertinent a bunch the wrong way well he was talking about like yeah when he was the president that he was overseeing the capture and the killing of bin Laden and any was talking about how he was proud to the American troops give bin Laden their respectful send-off at sea and I can I made me laugh because I don't believe that the American troops can live in I respect the quite funny to walk on the stage and see a bit the American Navy SEALs well raid on bin Laden's body on the back of that Navy ship like a banana boat and a pair of buns and Rosie's music sweater Bobby Joe sticker flagon I mean that's what maybe happen yeah I walked onstage to the audience and then they never laughed they just fought what does he used young man yes I did you speak to Obama afterwards about this metaphor was short so that was glad I got my pack shot and then yeah it seemed even understood what I was saying when he was just sort of look at me sort of sideways yeah but do you have that problem that because when you're down here when you're in London I think you sort of soften your acts in a little bit would that be fair to say it seems to me like you make it easier for people like me to understand you act when you're on stage you're obviously an unseen a bit more so you have to write it deliver all the jokes I need a life is difficult when I travel yeah Welsh do your 40 degrees and that's guy never understood what I was saying when I was asking for water yeah there's always so much you can play with yeah I want lake water yeah right I make that tea what we like to get the tea and a headlock someone water and in what always happens there's an English guy translates follows you know just appeal and that's pretty big even when somebody isn't after an end to the same language can I speeds up your heartbreak he's actually asking you for water and now you need to watch the smoke so I get away there's a fees bilingual so that's that's why we die so young and Scotland frustration - and a lack of hydration okay it's always a pleasure in the show thank you so much for coming on Kevin bridges [Applause]
