It's cool when he actually manages to get out but his local references during the concerts are ham-fisted and completely over the top

I sort of agree (when I've been at gigs in towns I know and I 'get' the references) but equally I've noticed the people around often lap it up and appreciate the effort he makes to personalise the show. Even more when he tries to do it in their language. He's a fluent French speaker (with a dodgy accent like most Brits) but I think most of the the other languages are just phonetic learns but he does make a big effort.

He made reference to eating chips with salt and sauce in Edinburgh 2018. Chips in Scotland are called "fries" in the USA. Salt and sauce is a very Edinburgh way of eating them - the rest of the country goes for salt and vinegar. So I understand - haven't eaten chips out of a chip shop for decades!
