Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson in full flight

A NIGHT of truly raucous laughter and dirty jokes does not come around very often - unless Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson is in town, as he will be next month.

The outrageous, often crude comic musician will perform at the Araluen Theatre on May 15 as part of his national DILLIGAF Cafe Tour.

Kevin said: ``The DILLIGAF Cafe is a half-hour monthly magazine-style show I'll be putting up on my website _ the first one should be going up in the next couple of weeks.

``It's been on the drawing board for ages, but I thought it was time - you know the internet is the only real media place when sex, music and comedy go together - and that's just what I do.

``I tick all three boxes - if you'll excuse the pun.''

The legendary performer said he will be bringing lots of new material to the gig, including songs from the DILLIGAF Cafe show - hence the tour name.

He said: ``I'm on my two-year tour circuit, going to a lot of places and Alice Springs isn't far away.

``I've got some mates there in town, and I love performing out there - I'm just on the first leg of the tour at the moment, but we'll do Queensland and Darwin, then pretty much straight to Alice.

`It's so much like home - Kalgoorlie - so that's what I like most about the town.''

Kevin said his daughter, singer-comedian Jenny Talia will also join him at the performance for a bit of fun and a few songs - she just released her third album, and has returned to Australia from her first tour of England.

The pair will perform for audiences, and will be the first time in two years the crude, rude and lewd Kevin `Bloody' Wilson has come to town.

Tickets are on sale now for $45, no concessions.
