"If some precious PC snowflakes are offended by my material, I suggest they stay home and finish the crossword," he said.
The politically incorrect performer will bring his tongue-in-cheek F.U.P.C Tour to Cessnock on April 11.
There are few comedians on the touring circuit today who tackle subjects with such aplomb as Wilson.
He is politically incorrect, direct, doesn't mince words nor rely on subtlety to get his point across.
His directness embodies the spirit of Australian humour. In recent times, he has become a social commentator of sorts.
But according to him, the offence is not intentional.
"I simply write songs to make my mates laugh and I have always considered political correctness a contradiction in terms, so if it's political there is a real good chance it's not correct," he said. "Nothing's off limits, I just talk about my world and how I see it. I don't go out of my way to be offensive."
Kev is revered around the globe for his Aussie larrikin take on life. He's performed everywhere throughout his career, from outback pubs to the hallowed halls of the London Palladium.
An evening in the company of Wilson is jam-packed with entertainment.
It is not just a concert performance, it is a full-on event and an opportunity for most to tick off something from the bucket-list.
Wilson has an extensive back catalogue, and audiences can expect to experience them and more, such as fan favourites, like D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F, Dick'taphone, I Knew the Bride (When She Used to be a Mole) and Living Next Door to Alan.
His story is now one of legend. Always a larrikin, he originally recorded songs on a cassette tape for his mates about his experiences working in the mines in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
In the early 1980s, he put together a tape called Your Average Australian Yobbo - sales went into the tens of thousands before it was transferred to LP, where it sold even more.
Fast forward more than three decades and Kev is a household name throughout Australia and the world. It is hard to believe that it was only 30 or so years ago that he was getting arrested for performing his politically incorrect songs in public.
Times have changed though, and Kev has even been nominated for Australian of the Year (2010).
As one of the country's most prolific performers, and a genuinely nice, down-to-earth bloke to boot, it's not surprising he has earned the reputation as one of our country's greatest living treasures.
