Kevin Bridges' interview transcription
I love comedians like Kevin Bridges and Frankie Boyle and even though I can understand most of what they say, I'm always missing some words. So, this is my attempt of trying to understand every single word during a very easy-to-understand Kevin Bridges' interview.

I ordered a bowl of soup in a hotel. A bowl. We don’t say the word “of” in Scotland. We cut that and it’s still on a bowl, it’s the way it’s taken. We say “a”, so you don’t say “a bowl of soup”, you say “a bowl soup”. And the waitress thought I ordered Ebola soup and it was… genuinely the panic…she’s gone “Ebola soup?” No, no! Just the f**king bruschetta ________.
So, it’s…and I’ve done a gig in America. I tried to crack America. I’ve done a fight in a gig and I just thought “f**k this” cause it was a gig… You did the obvious translations, you don’t go and you say “I’ve been smoking a fag”.
It’s like saying “having great craic” in Ireland.
Exactly and I’ve done a routine about being in a Christian rock festival and there was a sign saying, “a free toastie for all the God’s children”. And I thought if I am not a Christian, I’m not getting a toastie, that’s not very Christian…That was the joke. It never got any laughs. The woman in the front row goes “What’s a toastie?” And I am on stage having to explain…the gag just became a workshop I’m gonna…” A toastie is a sandwich. You put cheese, optional falling cheese and ham recommended” and she goes “Oh! A panini!” And then you just start an argument “That would be a f**king panini. I’m talking about a toastie” So, in America, it was a problem and for that particular reason…
But not so much here in Ireland
